Abstract:
【Objective/Meaning】Grain supply-demand balance is the basic premise to ensure food security. The balance between grain supply and demand in the main grain-consuming areas needs to be facilitated and realized through logistics. Through the study, logistics supporting measures for the grain supply-demand balance in main grain-consuming areas were put forward.【Methods/Procedures】By analyzing the time, space and value-added effects of value creation in grain logistics, the production, transfer and reserve functions of grain logistics in the main grain-consuming areas were elaborated, namely guaranteeing basic supply, realizing inter-regional transfer and satisfying sustainable consumption. Then, by taking Fujian for example, the logistics status of grain production distribution, transportation process, and reserve system in the main grain-consuming areas was analyzed.【Results/Conclusions】The results showed that there were some existing problems of grain logistics in the main grain-consuming areas, such as the unoptimistic production situation, unsmooth transportation network, and uneasy storage pressure. Therefore, the logistics supporting measures were put forward including tapping potential and stabilizing production and increasing efficiency in production, opening up channels and optimizing networks in transportation, and improving facilities and making effective control in storage, thus to ensure the grain supply-demand balance in the main grain-consuming areas.
