It has always been the major concern in the world to safeguard food security and to ensure the sufficient supply of agricultural products. The Central Economic Working Conference and Central Rural Work Conference have highlighted the need "to enhance agricultural structural reform of the supply side, and to increase the quality and efficiency of agricultural supply system, while properly expanding total demand". The No.1 Central Document has explicitly pointed out "to reform and improve the price formation mechanism for grain and other important agricultural products". To adapt to the new situation and new requirements, it is imperative to improve the management of modern agriculture, and to strengthen the leading role of market information on agricultural supply-side structural reforms. To this end, it is a need to make projection and analysis of the future agricultural production and market trend, to facilitate in-depth communication and knowledge sharing, to formulate policy options on the agricultural development, and ultimately to promote the predictability and management competence over agricultural market.
