Abstract
The economic growth of China in recent years brings a big change to its supply and demand structure of the food. China is remarkable as the source of supply of the food to the foreign countries in addition to the huge food consumer market, too.
It is expected that China's accession to the WTO has a big influence on the Chinese agriculture about which the international competitiveness is weak. But it is also expected that it brings a big change to the whole food system.
Moreover, it will have a big influence on the agriculture and the food industry in the Asian countries which are deepening a mutual-dependence relation, too.
Therefore, in this study, first, we will make the influence clear which China's accession to the WTO gives the food system in China after analyzing the present situation of the food system in China.
Next, we will analyze the mutual-dependence relation of the food industry and the Asian countries in China using the international input-output table.
Then, we will analyze about the influence which China's accession to the WTO gives the food system in the Asian area and propose a policy to build cooperative relation in the Asian area.
