The report especially points out the following:  In 2004, China's food wholesale and retail continued to maintain a fast growth momentum, offering huge potentials.  On one hand, the vast market in western and central China, cities of the 2nd and 3rd tiers and wealthy towns and the rural market are still to be developed.  On the other hand, new business forms - supermarket, speciality shop, convenience store and shopping center still have a big room for growth.  Currently, eastern and costal regions in China like Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Jiangsu have the most developed food wholesale and retail industry in China, while the western regions have the least developed industry.  Meanwhile, China's food wholesale & retail market is still characterized by low degree of concentration.  Most enterprises are small in size.  On the other hand, the year 2004 was the last year of the policy protection period for domestic retail enterprises.  International retail giants like WAL-Mart, Carrefour and METRO entered the Chinese market and sped up efforts to get market shares.  Meanwhile, the fast growth of the domestic food wholesale and retail market and the rapid development of nationwide bellwether enterprises, regional enterprises and local enterprises intensified competition in the industry. 

After analyzing major factors affecting the development of China's food wholesale and retail market from 2005-2009, the report presents qualitative and quantitative forecast of the development trend of the market.  Finally, it provides pertinent development strategy and recommendations for the government, enterprises and investors respectively.
