Abstract

Promoting agricultural production and ensuring the supply of agricultural products has always been the main task of agricultural development in China, but the agricultural production in China has not yet been combined with the Chinese residents' dietary needs to formulate reasonable development goals, with a certain blindness in production. According to the dietary standards in The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents developed by the Chinese Nutrition Society, we calculate the demand of various types of agricultural products in China under the conditions of balanced diet. In comparison with the output of various types of agricultural products in China at present, we find that the output of most of agricultural products in China has exceeded the reasonable demand of the Chinese residents under the conditions of balanced diet. Therefore, adjusting the agricultural production structure in China and advocating balanced diet has become an important way to solve the problem of balance between supply and demand of agricultural products.
