| Abstract: | County grass-root food and drug administrations (CGFDA) undertake the front-line supervision of food and drug safety, whose resource allocation is vitalto the regulation efficiency and performance. In this article, we aimed to analyze the status quo of resource allocation of CGFDA from the aspects of regulatory organization, staff, funding and equipment using officialpanel data from 2011 to 2016. The results illustrated that the total amount of regulatory resources of CGFDA was increased annually, reaching a rather large scale. However, many problems still existed in its allocation. Therefore, a series of measures should be taken to optimize the resource allocation of CGFDA, such as improving the network of institutional CGFDA, increasing the recruitmentrequirements on educational level and major, reallocating the structure of resources and guaranteeing the resource demand in less-developed areas. |
