The Research Report on Market Competition Situation Analysis and Supply and Demand Scale Prediction of Corn Planting Industry in China from 2022 to 2027 issued by Puhua Industry Research Institute of Academia Sinica shows that:
Current situation of maize planting area
In recent years, driven by comprehensive factors such as policy support, favorable corn market and large-scale development, China's corn industry has achieved rapid development. At present, the planting area of fresh corn in China is about 22 million mu, including waxy corn120 thousand mu, sweet corn 8 million mu and sweet waxy corn 2 million mu.

202 1 to 1-3 months, the price of corn may rise; From April to June, if the auction of temporary storage corn is restarted at this time, the spot corn price will be affected and there should be a certain decline, but the room for decline should be limited; On the whole, the market of 20 19 corn is still optimistic.
