Despite the surge in agricultural output since the late 1970s, a comparison of China's resource endowments with those of its trading partners suggests that, with continued rapid income growth, food imports will again expand unless relative domestic prices are raised. Quantitative analysis of price policies which would achieve self-sufficiency in the 1990s indicates net economic costs ranging between 2–3% of GNP annually. These results are, however, particularly sensitive to the relatively undocumented changes taking place in the dependence of China's rapidly growing livestock sector on feed grains.
