Les récents développements de la politique de réforme agricole en Chine

Chinese agriculture is one of the oldest in the world. After the collectivism, deregulation came with different steps : land restitution, contracts between the State and farmers, aleviation of the controls on these contracts, and at last deregulation of markets and prices. Growth in agriculture reached 6 % during 15 years. This growth was accompanied by a fast industrialization process, particularly in rural areas. Now, Chinese agriculture have to face new challenges : small farms, relative decreasing of agricultural income, less infrastructure and rapid demand diversification.
