Chinese agriculture has achieved a significant increase in gross agricultural output since the beginning of the new regime. However, for lack of quantitative information, it is difficult to make estimates of such an increase. Some qualitative evidence in historical writings suggests that the level of premodern agricultural technology & practice in China was already high before this century, but the quantitative information available is inconclusive. Any attempt to estimate the rate of growth of the agricultural sector, or of agriculture's contribution to the gross national product, is bound to be no more than an approximation. The aim here is to note the limitations of the data on which such estimates are based. Users of the academic & nonacademic data should note that an unqualified acceptance of their results in comparative studies may not be sufficiently justifiable. 2 Tables. Modified HA.
