Recently, the price of corn has reached its highest level in four years, with an increase of 1,000 yuan per ton. Since my home is a small corn purchase point, I have synchronized information on the corn market.
Some people are asking, what is the main reason for the record high of corn this year?
After the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day, the price of our corn has increased significantly. Now the average price of corn has reached 2,600 yuan per ton. This is the highest peak of the corn market in four years. Last year’s corn price The market situation is not optimistic. This year, it may be due to the shortage of corn import and export, or it may be due to the impact of the epidemic. However, some experts say that the impact of the epidemic is not the main reason. Now food has almost reached the point of grabbing. It's such a huge difference compared to last year's market. The price of corn now exceeds 1.2 yuan per catty.
According to data from the Information Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the National Grain and Oil Information Center, corn production in 2020-2021 will reach 265 million tons, an increase of 4 million tons from the previous year. However, in 2020-2021 The forecast value of annual domestic corn consumption increased by 13 million tons from 2019-2020 to 293 million tons, and the corn demand gap in 2020-2021 is expected to be 28 million tons.
According to Zheng Fengtian, deputy dean of the School of Agriculture and Rural Development of Renmin University of China: Now that the corn is basically mature, lodging will not affect the yield. How can we harvest the corn after rain without causing losses? Maybe this is still a problem. It takes a process, so overall, demand should be the bigger reason for the price increase. ?
The rise in corn prices has caused a series of chain reactions. Not only has farmers become more enthusiastic about hoarding, but the sales of temporarily stored corn are also basically sold at a premium. It is the harvest season, which is really good news for farmers.
At the same time, due to a series of chain reactions caused by the rise in corn, it is reported that the prices of downstream corn processing products such as starch and alcohol have also risen sharply. The price of corn alcohol increased by more than 22% year-on-year in September. The price of corn starch has risen from 2,220 yuan per ton at the beginning of this year to about 2,900 yuan per ton this week, an increase of more than 30%.
