Abstract:
In this paper, the grain production status in Fujian was analyzed from the time and spatial dimensions based on the data of grain production from 1980 to 2013 in Fujian. The results showed that: On the time scale, the grain production in Fujian could be divided into four stages since 1980, including fluctuation, sustainable growth, rapid decline and steady recovery periods.And the current situation of grain production in Fujian continued to improve and was at a stable stage after the recovery. On the spatial scale, there were obvious regional differences in grain production and consumption in Fujian. And the grain production could be divided into three categories, including the high yield and low variant in the northwest of Fujian, the middle yield and high variant in the southeast of Fujian, the low yield and high variant in Xiamen and Putian, while on the consumption side, the serious graindeficit areas were Fuzhou, Putian, Quanzhou and Xiamen; the general graindeficit areas were Zhangzhou and Ningde; the general grainsurplus areas were Sanming, Nanping and Longyan. The main factors that affected grain production included the occupation of cultivated land owning to urbanization, the loss of rural labor, price increase, small agricultural management model owing to industrialization, etc. Finally, some countermeasures were put forward to stable the grain production in Fujian.
