Are there any major non South American suppliers? It is still exposed to geopolitical risk as long as it is on the American continent.
Russia is still a good supplier for agriculture stuff. Maybe Mongolia too
It is not bad but if you have to eat it every meal you’ll probably get tired of it. Literally bird food. There is a reason why wheat dominated the North after they figured out how to grind them into flour.
Something i wanted to say here for a while, China should make sure to diversify/have a back-up from Australia, from which i understand it imports large quantities of animal products and most of their iron ore. Australia is an american puppet and cannot be counted on, especially in the current escalating tensions.
I've seen a lot of users talk about what country is the best to rely on in terms of food security. One thing I want to say is China should focus on trying to be a net exporter of food rather than an importer.
Wondering if terraforming deserts could potentially help get more arable farmland (probably not the best idea).
In my opinion developing the poor rural areas around the country should be the primary focus, as it should help in terms of agriculture.
There should also be a bigger focus in academia towards agriculture, you want to attract more people toward agriculture careers.
One more thing I think would be a good idea is more government subsidies for both family and corporate farms.

Regarding imports, China should also improve African infrastructure as Belt and Road seriously starts up. Geopolitically they're close enough to China to trust them, and far enough away to not have much conflict with China.
Help build roads, rail, silos, ports. I've seen a lot of new tech like drone equipment for farming and improved GMO crops. Export this tech. Teach African people how to use them. You will be able to feed both Africa and yourself.
