Chief Economist Qian Keming of China’s Agriculture Ministry summed it up by
telling the audience at the Third China International Agribusiness Forum:
“Fresh water resources are only 2100 cubic meters per capita, which is only
28% of the world’s average level.”
and
“The shortage of [water for agricultural irrigation] each year is about 30
billion cubic meters. China imported about 148.6 billion cubic meters of
water in 2013, which was equivalent to 38% of China’s agricultural water.”
Here’s that number in perspective: China water imports of 148.6 billion
cubic meters last year handily exceeded the 569 MILLION (0.569 billion)
cubic meters of oil that the United States imported.
Water is THE critical resource in agriculture. Without it, you’re not
producing. This makes China’s deficiency a long-term headwind to their food
production dilemma. | B*******n
