However, most of the corn in China is not consumed by humans, but are for animals. Almost 75% of the corn consumption is used for animal feed and is constantly rising, nearly 3% per year. Wealthier Chinese consumers demand for better quality grain–fed meat, which is why the government constantly encourages Chinese farmers to feed farm animals with corn and soybean.

Agriculture Technology – The increased demand for organic produce, increased the demand for high quality Mahindra small tractors.

There are many manufacturers of small tractors, but China’s Mahindra brand is becoming increasingly popular not only among domestic, but international farmers as well.

Aside form encouraging consumers, Chinese government is also supporting producers of green technology in order to become the world’s leading producer of renewable energy.
