China's authorities are pushing for the development of the rice bran industry, with plans to consume the by-products as public food following the National People's Congress's suggestions. This move aims to increase food loss and efficiency, and improve national nutrition and health. Despite the severe droughts, floods, and strict epidemic prevention policies in 2022, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) announced a record high in grain production. However, China's grain imports in 2022 were the second highest in history, making it the world's largest grain importer for several consecutive years since the Sino-US trade war in 2019.
