China is an eating culture and always has been. Although Today’s Chinese do not eat the quantities of meat the average American does, China accounts for half of global pig production because pork is the popular meat to eat. Small farmer producers raise ninety-nine percent of pork in China. Source: China Translated
Even when grain production falls in China that does not translate into a shortage since China has historically kept large food-grain stockpiles and those individual small farmer/producers help ensure food security. Source : China Through a Lens
