1, import restrictions
In the past, China mainly relied on imports to grow corn, soybeans and other food crops. However, due to the epidemic, many countries have restricted the import and export ratio of grain, the domestic grain supply has been insufficient, and the price of corn has risen rapidly.
2. Rapid growth of demand
Due to the emergence of African swine fever, the domestic supply of live pigs is tight. Since last year, the pig breeding industry has shown a prosperous scene. A large number of farmers have entered the market, and the demand for pig feed has increased dramatically. As the main raw material of pig feed, the demand for corn has also increased.
3. The corn planting area is reduced.
At present, the planting area of corn is difficult to meet the market demand, and corn has to rely on imports for a long time, because the planting method of corn has not been fully mechanized, the planting cost is relatively high, and the market price will also rise.
4. Farmers' market awareness is weak.
Farmers' friends generally grow grain according to market conditions, and plant whatever agricultural products are expensive. Weak market awareness. Now the corn yield is very low and the price is very high, so there will be more farmers who grow naturally.
What are the uses of corn?
Corn can be processed into corn flakes, corn flour, corn residue, special corn flour, instant corn and so on. It can be made into corn starch, feed for agriculture and animal husbandry, corn candy, or fermented.
