`That Kueh has undertaken a huge task is evident. An astonishing amount of data is presented ... Kueh has analysed all data with a sophisticated method which he describes in detail. Kueh's study offers many insights into Chinese agricultural policies and the natural conditions of farming. The methods used are interesting and very sophisticated, the wealth of data impressive. The author clearly presents his methods as also the gaps, which caution him against simplifying conclusions.' Theodor Bergmann, Internationales Asienforum, International Quarterly of Asian Studies, November 1996 3-4/96 `a comprehensive rendering of his work investigating temporal and spatial instability of agricultural production in China, with an emphasis on grain. ... As the debate on China's grain self-sufficiency continues, Y Y Kueh has provided a reasoned and comprehensive analysis which draws attention to the main factors associated with increased production and agricultural instability in the past, and which will remain important in the future.' The Journal of Asian Studies, vol.56.1
