The animal feed industry in China has become an important industry after 40 years of development and it continues to grow. This paper adopts an autocorrelation analysis to study the spatial distribution of the industry. The developmental status of the feed industry in adjacent provinces is compared and contrasted. The research shows that spatial autocorrelation is very small, suggesting that the feed industry is tending towards being more distributed and this trend is gaining in strength. Using a local spatial autocorrelation analysis, the author also summarises the character of the feed industry distribution in several bordering provinces.
