This work investigates China's sheep meat industry in order to understand the forces affecting the policy, institutional, agribusiness, and market environments in rural China. The authors, affiliated with the China Agricultural Economics Group at the University of Queensland, Australia, draw upon their research on other livestock industries in China over the last two decades to enrich the analysis and identify broader trends throughout the livestock sector as a whole. B&w photos are included. The book will be of interest to researchers, policy makers, and industry participants concerned with China's ruminant livestock and meat sector. Distribution in the US is by Oxford University Press. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
