The pork product in China increased by 2.14 times from 1985 to 2006, responding with the increase in supplies corn production. The increase rate in corn was tenfold, fourfold and threefold for those in rice, wheat and potato production, respectively. The relationship between pork prices and maize prices was positive correlation (R=0.973).
