China State Farms: The Journey from Nanniwan
In past years, Nanniwan was nothing but barren hills; today's Nanniwan is the good Jiangnan of northern Shaanxi.

Farmers can now get loans more easily, and banks feel safer about lending
They would rather forgo a 100,000 yuan fiscal subsidy and still hope to obtain a 1 million yuan loan. This one remark lays bare the thirst of new-type agricultural business entities for finance.

Corn price fluctuation risks remain in the outlook, North China market needs caution
Since mid-December, corn prices in the North China production area have fluctuated quite frequently, overall going through a process of decline-rebound-decline. On one hand, the weather improved, corn supply in North China recovered quickly, and enterprises saw increased arrivals, but downstream demand could not absorb it effectively, and the market pattern shifted again from a period of tight supply to a situation of oversupply, with prices continuing to fall reasonably as the market expected. On the other hand, grain moisture content was relatively high, and enterprises interested in low-moisture grain sources were forced to raise purchase prices, which in turn drove prices to stop falling and stabilise, and combined with increased outflow of some grain sources, prices in some areas even rebounded slightly. As of now, the ex-factory price of 14.5% moisture third-grade corn at deep-processing enterprises in Weifang, Shandong is 1880-1940 yuan/tonne, down about 20 yuan/tonne from last weekend, with a few enterprises seeing slightly larger declines; the ex-factory price in Shijiazhuang, Hebei is around 1740 yuan/tonne, down about 20 yuan/tonne from last weekend. It is expected that in the short term North China corn will remain stable with a weak bias, and prices will fall more in areas where farmers are more active in selling grain.

Wheat prices are expected to continue a stable trend in the short term
Supply in the wheat market is relatively loose. Flour mills mainly purchase on demand to meet their own production needs. At the same time, the slowdown in shipments has to some extent affected enthusiasm for wheat procurement. In the short term, the wheat market will continue a relaxed buying and selling atmosphere, with prices tending to stabilize.
