In the past several decades, Chinese government has been striving to attain ‘food (grain) self-sufficiency’. It is resulted from ‘national security and food sovereign’. It means that if food does not be self-sufficiency, a nation would be severely suffered from lack of food when the nation is compelled to get attack from other countries. Therefore, as the resource of food, maize has also been encouraged to be well harvested nationwide. Moreover, since 1980s, because of oil shock and accordingly oil price skyrocketed, China has been changing maize into ethane for combustion. Due to these factors, maize consumption in China has been gradually increasing and so do its supply. This is main reason why maize industry in China has been growing bigger and bigger.
