Abstract
The introduction of American cereal crops is probably one of the most
important events in China¿s agricultural history, having a great effect on
the agriculture production, national life, the transformation
of consumer behaviour and, to some extent, the nationalization
of consumption. The sweet potato (Ipomoea Batatas L.), in Chinese
g¿nsh¿ ¿¿, is a staple food crop for ancient Chinese society. Today it
still plays an important role in Chinese daily life, as well as guaranteeing
national food security.
