Introduction: it is predicted that this year's corn production will be the same or slightly higher than last year's As the domestic corn output is lower than the normal situation for two consecutive years, and there is a gap between annual production and demand, corn inventory has dropped a lot, and the contradiction between market supply and demand has been greatly alleviated, which plays a certain role in promoting the enthusiasm of farmers in the main production areas It is expected that the planting area of corn in the main production area this year will be the same or slightly increased as that of last year According to the analysis of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, this year will still be a dry year, and the unit yield of corn will be greatly affected, and it is expected that the yield of corn will remain at a low level But as long as this year's disaster is not more serious than last year's, the national corn production will be the same or slightly increased as last year's Prices will remain subdued, but will not fall significantly At present, the domestic corn price is significantly higher than the international market price, and the lower international market price will play a significant role in restraining the domestic market price Exports will face serious challenges In recent years, the reason why China's corn has been maintaining the net export status is mainly supported by the national export subsidy policy The cancellation of export subsidy policy will have a fundamental impact on the export of main rice in China Once the export subsidy is cancelled and there is no other incentive measures, the domestic corn export will be in a standstill ZJK import will increase, but there is no possibility of large-scale import In recent years, China has kept net export of corn, almost no import After China's accession to the WTO, China has promised to list corn as a quota management commodity, and implement low tariffs on the imported agricultural products within the quota Corn will be the most affected variety of food crops The price of foreign corn arriving at China's port is lower than the domestic market price Therefore, this year's increase in imports is inevitable, but there are no conditions and possibilities for large-scale imports First, domestic corn is very abundant; second, as a big corn production and trade country, once the import volume increases, it will drive up the international market price, narrow the gap between domestic and foreign prices, and thus restrain the increase of import volume Third, the relevant provisions of genetically modified safety management will increase the cost of imported corn According to the prediction of the national grain and oil information center, this year's corn import volume is 2 million tons, which should be a relatively moderate estimate ZJK makes full use of the advantages of China's corn and tries to expand its export Although China's corn lacks competitiveness in price, it also has certain advantages in some aspects First of all, domestic corn is the most popular non GMO corn in the world, while the main competitor of America's corn is almost GM corn, and China's corn has advantages in the safety of GM; secondly, China's traditional corn export market is mainly in Asia, such as South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, etc., with transportation advantages ZJK develops the production of high quality varieties and improves the quality of corn The competitiveness of domestic corn in the international market is poor, not only in price, but also in quality It is necessary to promote the varieties with high oil, high protein and high starch in the market, so as to rationalize the production structure of corn Cultivate market circulation organizations and develop standardized and diversified circulation channels Break the monopoly situation in the circulation field and form an atmosphere of free competition and survival of the fittest Vigorously develop the corn processing industry in the production area Compared with foreign corn, corn in the main production area is lack of competitiveness, because the main production area needs to pay expensive transportation costs when it reaches the southern market For example, developing corn processing industry in the production area can save most of the transportation costs, so that the production advantages of corn in the production area are truly reflected ZJK (author:) to feed Weibo to:
