Research on Countermeasures to Abnormal Fluctuations of Grain Prices
From 2004 to 2007,our country's grain production has been increasing consecutively,and our domestic grain supply has been comparatively abundant.At the same time,the grain prices have been rising continuously,and it seems very difficult for the macro-regulation measures to achieve great effects rapidly.In addition to the factors like the fluctuations in international grain markets,one of the main reasons is the contradiction between the public welfare orientation of our government's target for macro-regulation of grain markets and the private interest orientation of the entities being regulated in the grain retail market.It means that the grain retail market lacks a service network with a strong function of guidance.The most important thing at present is that we should set up or perfect a new grain retail market service network as a front bastion for our grain security guarantee system,which gives priority to chain operation of state-owned or state-controlled central grain shops with privately-owned grain shops as a supplement.
