Abstract：Food security is closely related to national development and people’s livelihood. Since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, the Party and the government have attached great importance to food security issues. However, due to China’s large population, limited arable land resources, and relatively backward production technology, there are shortcomings in terms of food demand, food production efficiency and food quality. Since the reform and opening up, although successive governments have issued strong policies to vigorously promote agricultural development and ensure the stable supply of food, China still faces deep-seated problems such as low land resource utilization rate, uneven food quality, and high production cost consumption. Compared to the growing food demand and desire for a better life for the people, China still has a large food gap and needs to import food through international trade. From the perspective of food trade security in major countries, there are prominent issues in China’s international grain trade, such as high dependence on some grain imports, prominent structural contradictions in grain trade, narrow channels for single variety grain imports, insufficient competitiveness of grain in the international market, and urgent need to strengthen food hygiene and security. Increase the supply of grain and reduce the external dependence on some grains; promote the balance of grain supply and demand, and narrow the structural contradictions in grain trade; disperse the risks of grain imports and ensure the safety of grain imports; reduce the cost of grain production and enhance the international competitiveness of grain; promoting high-quality transformation of grain and ensuring food nutrition security are effective ways for China to strengthen international trade governance in grain and ensure food security for major countries.
