The price of corn, which is not favored by everyone, has soared-the spot price of corn has risen from 0.98 yuan/kg to 65,438 yuan +0.25 yuan/kg since the beginning of the year, and the futures price of corn has directly soared by 200-400 yuan/ton! The corn futures price soared from 1800 yuan/ton at the beginning of the year to 2450 yuan/ton, with a price increase of over 30%. Corn futures prices have set a new record for 9 years!
The price of corn is high, and the same output can naturally sell a lot of money! Although the price increase of corn is beneficial to our corn farmers, few farmers don't know the specific reasons why the price of corn keeps rising all the way, let alone whether it will continue to rise in the future.
The new corn is in the harvest period. After many farmers' friends saw the rising price of corn, it is estimated that many people have the idea of "holding high prices such as corn". Is this the right idea? In view of the above problems, the agricultural technology small basket will not share crop planting knowledge with you for the time being today, so I will tell you about the "skyrocketing corn price". The following views are only my own. You may wish to talk about the price increase of corn!
1, affected by the global food crisis.
However, indirectly affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the global food crisis is more obvious. According to United Nations statistics, there are more than 20 countries in the world with different degrees of food crisis, and nearly 700 million people around the world are at risk of famine. The food crisis caused by the epidemic has aroused the attention of all countries to food security. This year, many countries have introduced policies to restrict their own grain exports, which will have different degrees of impact on international and domestic grain prices, including corn.
2. Affected by the typhoon, the yield of corn in Northeast China was reduced.
Northeast China has long been the main planting, producing and supplying area of corn in China. Northeast corn production accounts for about 40% of the total corn production in China (the annual corn production in China is about 254 million tons, while the annual corn production in Northeast China is as high as 65.438+0.06 million tons), which can be said to be the main source of corn supply in the domestic market.
Corn in Northeast China has been growing well in the early stage. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a bumper harvest of corn in the northeast. However, when the northeast corn is in the critical period of grain filling and yield formation, the typhoon especially "takes care" of the northeast region.
Northeast China is the main supply area of corn in China, and the sharp reduction of corn production will inevitably directly reduce the total supply of corn in China. Due to the consideration of production and demand, capital investors and large corn demand enterprises in the society have bought corn futures in succession, which has led to the recent soaring corn market price.
3. Affected by the factors of decreasing corn planting scale and area.
Moreover, corn has been in a state of bumper harvest and large inventory for many years. China adjusted the domestic grain planting structure and put forward the Northeast "Soybean Revitalization Plan" to encourage and guide farmers in Northeast China to appropriately increase the soybean planting area.
