| Abstract | China's cost-of-living index rose 14.7 per cent in 1993 and 24.1 per cent in 1994. Wild rises in production costs can have a disastrous effect. Farmers will plant more profitable crops rather than staple items such as wheat and corn. For 1993 and 1994, this has led to a crisis of grain supply in some regional markets. Rising food and animal feed prices have pushed up overall price levels even higher. |
