China's beer consumption and barley imports

Article Abstract:

The continued emergence of China's economy leads to an increase in beer consumption and importation of barley. China's transition to a market economy has resulted in beer market expansion due to consumers' change in food consumption pattern and pouring in of foreign investments. A rise to 1.3 million metric tons(mmt) of imported barley in 1994, which is used in the production of beer, has been recorded to satisfy the growing demand for beer. Demand for beer and wine is found to be elastic to income but inelastic to own and cross prices.
