Privatization of land will not solve China’s problems, said Huang, an Agriculture official, at a press event on November 4, 2008. Huang stated that China agriculture sector cannot compete with that of the United States because of low land per capita (1.38 mu per person) and its small scale of economy. The right way, according to Huang, is to increase the efficiency of land use and the scale of economy through transfer of land use right.
