      abstract = {The term translated literally as ‘agro-industrialisation’  is used both frequently and
loosely by Chinese officials  and academics to refer to a range of targets including  agricultural
integration and commercialisation. Support for  the agro-industrialisation process has shifted
agricultural  policy to the extent that it now heralds the third wave of  reform of the Chinese rural
economy since 1978. This paper  draws on a literature review of Chinese material and  on
extensive fieldwork material to discuss: a) what is  meant by agro-industrialisation; b) how  agroindustrialisation
measures are organised and  implemented; c) how this reflects the characteristics
of  Chinese agricultural and political-economy systems, and; d)  the role of and implications for
various actors  (government, enterprises, rural households and  co-operatives in particular).
Discussion places particular  emphasis on the Chinese cattle and beef industry.},
