退耕还林对西部地区粮食生产及供求的影响

受结构调整和自然灾害的影响,1999～2003年间,全国粮食播种面积下降了12.6%,粮食总产量下降15.9%,年度产需缺口逐年拉大,粮食安全问题倍受关注,退耕还林工程是“进”是“退”成为社会各界讨论的热门话题。本课题通过对西部大开发12省(区、市)有关资料的分析研究以及对四川、陕西、内蒙古、贵州4省12县19个重点退耕村、260个退耕农户的典型调查研究提出,虽然退耕还林工程在操作中存在一定的问题,但总的来说,利大于弊,农民从中得到了实惠,生态环境得到了改善,更重要的是,退耕还林对西部地区粮食生产影响不大,应坚持退耕还林政策不动摇,建立和完善配套政策。

The Impact of "Farmland Re-turning into Forest" upon Grain Production,Supply and Demand in West China

It has become a hot topic in various circles whether the project of "farmland re-turning into forest"(FRIF) should "go ahead" or "back away", because particular attention is paid to the grain safety problem triggered off by a 12.6% drop in grain sown area in China as a whole during 1999 to 2003 owing to structural adjustment and natural calamities, a 15.9% in gross grain output, with the gap between annual supply and demand widened. By way of analyzing and studying the related data from 12 provinces, regions and cities in West China where great exploitation is going on, and by a typical probe into 19 villages and 260 peasant households in 12 counties of the 4 provinces of Sichuan, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and Guizhou where put emphasis on FRIF, we conclude that, although with some demerits in operation, the project of FRIF, taken as a whole, has more advantages than disadvantages——the peasants have got actual benefits, the ecotope has been improved, and more important, not great is the impact of FRIF on grain production in western regions, and that we should persist in carrying out the policy for FRIF without any hesitation and frame and perfect related policies to complete FRIF policy.
