“…As income grows, caloric intakes are reaching a saturation point for most Chinese consumers, and obesity and chronic diseases associated with obesity are becoming public health problems (Tian and Yu, 2013). In the case of wheat, our results are consistent with the westernization of Chinese diets and the associated demand for highprotein wheat (Bai et al, 2014).…”

“…We also find this be true for most cereals (general cereals, rice, and coarse grains) with the exception of wheat. The income elasticity of demand for wheat increases as per capita income increases, which may be due to the westernization of Chinese diets and the associated demand for high-protein wheat (Bai et al, 2014).…”

“…For wheat, the total marginal effect including the interaction term is -0.142 + 0.183 = 0.041, so that the income elasticity for wheat does not decline with per capita income growth. Richer households in China often consume Western-style foods, in which the predominant source of carbohydrates is high-protein wheat, given their convenience (Bai et al, 2014).…”

There are many projections for China's food demand, and the projection results differ significantly from each other. Different values for income elasticities could be a major reason. Terms of use: Documents inThis study projects meat and cereals demand for China based on a meta-analysis of the income elasticity estimates using a collection of 143 and 240 income elasticity estimates for cereals and meat products, respectively, from 36 primary studies. We find that income elasticities for most cereals (general cereals, rice, and coarse grains) and all meat products (general meat, pork, poultry, beef & mutton) tend to decline as per capita income increases, except for wheat, which increases. Taking this into account, differences between consumption projections based on time-varying income elasticities and values based on constant elasticities are substantial in quantities and increase over time.

“…So Chinese consumers place a premium on UHT milk from New Zealand, Australia, Germany and France compared to domestic milk, with premiums of 59.4, 58.9, 57.9 and 52.9%, respectively. Imported dairy products are greatly demanded in China, and importation is expected to grow continually (Bai et al , 2014; Tao et al , 2016). The high WTP premium for imported milk can be considered a warning to the Chinese government and dairy industry that they urgently need to shore up confidence in domestic dairy products.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to decompose the effects of country-of-origin labeling (COOL) into multiple dimensions—macrolevel image, related to the country image, and microlevel image, related to dairy industry/product attributes—and investigate how each dimension affects Chinese consumers' evaluation of imported milk.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted the Becker–DeGroot–Marschak (BDM) auction mechanism to elicit consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for milk from different countries (New Zealand, Australia, Germany, France and China). The experiment was conducted with 348 shoppers at supermarkets in three major cities of China (Hangzhou, Wuhan and Shijiazhuang). The study subject was ultrahigh-temperature processing (UHT) milk (200 mL Tetra Pak aseptic brick package).FindingsThe results show that Chinese consumers are willing to pay a premium for UHT milk from New Zealand, Australia, Germany and France compared to domestic milk, and the premiums are 59.4, 58.9, 57.9, and 52.9% respectively. Both microlevel and macrolevel images exert a substantial influence on consumers' WTP, and the microlevel image has a greater impact on consumers' evaluation of milk than the macrolevel image. Particularly, the macropolitical, microtechnology/quality and microdesign/package dimensions have a positive influence on WTP for milk.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the existing literature in introducing the country-of-origin image (COI) construct with different dimensions to get in-depth knowledge about the country-of-origin (COO) effect in food or agricultural economics.

“…This is because, especially in cities, there is a growing number of wealthy middle-class consumers. They are largely the ones who might be willing to change their diet to make it similar to what is commonplace in rich Western countries (where many more processed products are consumed) (Pingali, 2007; Bai et al., 2014).…”

Importance and share of agribusiness in the Chinese economy (2000–2014)

This paper analyzes the importance and share of agribusiness and its aggregates in the Chinese national economy in the context of economic growth observed in 2000–2014. Based on National Input-Output Tables (NIOT) data, the share of agribusiness in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employment, and global output was found to have declined due to a decrease in the share of agriculture itself. Hence, the increase in agribusiness GDP was primarily driven by the supply-related aggregate. In turn, the food industry provided the greatest momentum for growth in global output of agribusiness. This research also found that the GDP of the agriculture-based aggregate had a large share in its global output. This means that compared to other sectors, agricultural production demonstrated low levels of direct material intensity, which is important from the perspective of material efficiency and sustainable development.
