Thu, 02 Feb 2012 04:20:01 +0100 (Reuters) - A shepherd keeps watch over his sheep as they graze on corn stalks in the dried-up bed of the Miyun reservoir in the drought-effected village of Zhuanghuyu, located 80 kilometres (50 miles) north of Beijing, in this January 31, 2012 file picture. Cutting logistics costs -- 10 percent of the nation's gross domestic product in 2010, double that of Japan -- has been pledged for years in the government's annual agricultural plan to increase rural income and spread harmony through society. It's not easy given that raising income for producers implies rising prices for consumers and China's leaders have vowed to fight inflation. So while food prices soared 11.8 percent and China spent more on farm subsidies in 2011 than ever before, the 18 percent rise in average rural incomes still left farmers lagging badly behind their urban cousins.
