Abstract：
Most of the current literature focus on qualitative analysis of the reasons for the weakness of grain yielding industry and consider weakness as the unchangeable attribute of grain yielding industry. The author used relative labor productivity coefficient as the indicator of the weakness of grain yielding, calculated and analyzed the trend of the change in the weakness of grain yielding industry in China since 1978 and its influence on economic growth and economic structure transformation. The findings show that the long term trend of the weakness of grain yielding industry in China is mainly determined by national structural transformation strategy and its local fluctuation is affected by the adjustment of national grain policy; the degree of the weakness of grain yielding industry is moderately negatively related to the pull effect of grain yielding on economy; the weakness of grain yielding industry is highly negatively related to the proportion of the primary industry, has no significant linear correlation with the proportion of the second industry, and is highly positively related to the proportion of the tertiary industry. The weakness of grain yielding industry has significant influence on the economic growth and economic structure adjustment in China.
