What is the latest market situation of the four major staple grains in 2019
China's four major staple grains are rice, soybeans, wheat and corn, etc. Staple grains, as the name suggests, are indispensable foods in our daily lives. Almost every meal needs staple grains to supplement human nutrition, and the planting area of China's four major staple grains is also very extensive, but with the expansion of the planting area, the market situation of staple grains will also change. So what is the market situation of China's four major staple grains in 2019? Let's take a look together with the editor below!
1. Rice
Rice is the most important staple grain in China, and almost every day and every meal cannot do without rice. It is precisely because of the importance of rice, which is also closely related to human health, that in 2019 the state issued certain regulations on the rice market. In order to prevent excessive fluctuations in rice market prices, there is also a minimum price requirement for rice. However, since last year the rice market situation has declined, and various provinces have almost reached the support price. This is mainly due to the excessively large planting area, relatively high output, and also a considerable volume of imports.
2. Soybeans
Last year the state added a planting subsidy policy for the main soybean planting areas, with the aim of increasing the planting enthusiasm of soybean growers. Because the planting subsidy plan in some areas reached about 400 yuan per mu, the soybean planting area also gradually expanded. But this also brings a certain negative effect: the purchase price of soybeans fell sharply, and one jin could hardly reach 2 yuan. Although China's current soybean market is in a state of supply falling short of demand and is also continuously importing, the soybean market situation in 2019 will not be very ideal either.
3. Wheat
Wheat is China's staple food second only to rice, and most flour-based foods are made from wheat as a raw material. However, starting in the second half of last year, the wheat market situation declined. According to the patterns of change in wheat market conditions in previous years, there would be a rebound before the Spring Festival. But there is no such sign yet, mainly because the excessive volume of imports has affected the prices of locally grown varieties. China's wheat storage has reached more than 80 million tons. Therefore, the wheat market in 2019 will also be overly optimistic.
4. Corn
The market situation and prices of corn have been continuously declining in recent years, and due to the import of high-quality foreign corn varieties, the corn market has been even more severely affected. It is impossible to keep corn prices rising continuously, but because China's corn market demand is large, corn prices will still rise slowly. Moreover, most new energy enterprises need to use corn to produce new energy, so in 2019 the corn market situation will not fluctuate too much. But it mainly still depends on the import volume.
The above is a brief introduction to the market situation of China's four major staple grains in 2019. Everyone can see that the market situation of the four major staple grains will not be very good. Therefore, in 2019 the prices of staple grains will all decline, which is also a very severe test for staple grain growers, so everyone should carefully consider what is most suitable to plant before planting. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
