Planning and statistical systems in China's agriculture
1983
Tuan, Francis C. | Crook, Frederick W.
Extract: China's agricultural economy, one of the world's largest, produces more grain and hogs than any other country. But, because of high domestic demand, China is also a major purchaser of grain, oilseeds, and fibers. The United States has become a major supplier of many of these commodities. Planners directly issue orders to control production in government-owned state farms. For collectively owned communes, the Government uses direct means such as procurement quotas and indirect techniques like credit control to manage production. China's recently reestablished statistical system is particularly weak in rural ares because of shortage of trained personnel. Census-type reporting is the main method employed to collect data.
