China is an active promoter of free trade. It has worked hard to fulfill its commitments to the WTO, and shares China's food market resources to facilitate world food trade.

(一)对外开放日益扩大
1. More areas are opening up
——中国粮食市场更加开放。涉粮外资企业加工转化粮食数量、产品销售收入不断增加,2018年分别占到全国的14.5%、17%。外资企业进入中国粮食市场的广度、深度不断拓展,在食用植物油、粮食加工转化等领域的份额不断增长,并向粮食收购市场、批发零售和主食品供应等方面延伸,成为促进中国粮食产业发展的重要力量。
- The Chinese food market is more open than before. Foreign-funded enterprises in China have been processing more food, and their revenue from sales is increasing over the years, accounting for 14.5 percent and 17 percent of the national total in 2018. Foreign-funded enterprises are becoming more involved in depth and width of China's food market, with growing shares of business in edible vegetable oil and food processing, and activities extending into procurement, wholesale and retail, and staple food supply. They have become a key force in developing China's food industry.
——认真履行加入世界贸易组织承诺。中国严格按照加入世界贸易组织承诺,取消了相关农产品进口配额和许可证等非关税措施,对小麦、玉米、大米实施进口关税配额管理,大幅度削减其他粮食品种的进口关税。进一步放宽农业领域外商投资准入限制,除中国稀有和特有的珍贵品种、转基因品种之外,将外商投资种业的限制范围缩减为小麦、玉米,取消农产品收购、批发的外商投资准入限制。
- China has honored its commitments to the WTO. In strict accordance with its commitments upon joining the WTO, China has rescinded import quotas, permits and other non-tariff measures for relevant agroproducts, exercised quota management for imported wheat, corn and rice, and cut import duties on other food types by large margins. It has further eased restrictions on foreign investment in agriculture, allowing foreign-invested seed companies to operate in all grain types other than wheat, corn, and rare species or species unique to China, or genetically modified crops. Restrictions on foreign-invested companies regarding the procurement, processing and wholesale of agroproducts have also been lifted.
——促进国际粮食贸易繁荣发展。中国在确保国家粮食安全的前提下,认真遵守世界贸易组织规则并履行中国加入世界贸易组织的相关承诺,积极与世界主要产粮国分享中国巨大的粮食市场。2018年,包括大豆等油料和饲料在内的粮食进口总量为11555万吨,出口总量366万吨,分别比1996年增长944.8%、171.1%。进口总量中大豆8803万吨;谷物及谷物粉进口2047万吨,占当年世界谷物贸易量的4.9%。
- China works for the development and prosperity of international food trade. On the precondition of ensuring national food security, China strictly abides by WTO rules and fulfills its commitments to the organization, sharing its huge food market with major food-producing countries. In 2018, China imported 115.55 million tons of oil crops (including soybeans), feed and other foods, and exported 3.66 million tons of food. These figures represented growth of 945 percent and 171 percent over 1996. It imported 88.03 million tons of soybeans, and 20.47 million tons of grains and grain powders, accounting for 4.9 percent of world grain trade in 2018.
