China began its 10th “five-year plan” in 2001. As part of the country’s ongoing scientific approach to development, the plan included a number of initiatives aimed at improving the quality and distribution of food in China, most of which were highly successful. By 2005, when the country finished the plan, the gross output (product value) of the food industry had reached $287 billion, a 97.2% increase since 2000 and an average annual increase of 19.4%. This article examines some of the ongoing plans for the 11th five-year plan, including those for the growing cereal processing and edible plant oil processing industries.
