Food prices are rising! Wheat, corn and rice have increased by a few hairs per catty, and farmers: agricultural materials and prices have also increased.

since December, the grain market has not been stable, and the price trends of three staple foods, wheat, corn and rice, have always been the trend that farmers pay attention to. In particular, farmers who have not sold their food at home want to sell it at a good price before the year. On the one hand, the funds for selling grain can be used for the Chinese New Year. On the other hand, there is more rain and snow in winter, which is not conducive to storage, so it is easy to sell early.

in mid-December, the price trends of wheat, corn and rice ushered in different results. According to the analysis of grain quotation in the market, there is probably a trend that wheat is red, corn is rising, and rice is not rising but falling. What is going on? This article will tell you in detail.

Wheat prices have gone red again

Since the beginning of December, wheat prices have basically increased. During the first ten days of December, wheat prices in many places have increased, but just entered the middle of December, according to the quotations of flour enterprises and traders, the price has continued to rise in the first ten days of December, so it is said that the price has gone red again.

analyze from the aspects of supply and demand. From some flour enterprises in Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places, it is known that the arrival volume before the factory is relatively small, while the demand is increasing. On the one hand, New Year's Day is coming, and flour enterprises have begun to stock up, and the demand has increased; On the other hand, from the feed industry, the demand for wheat has not decreased because of the rising price of corn. In addition, during the winter, the demand for flour itself is relatively large, which can also be found from the rising price of flour. A variety of factors have supported the high price of wheat and driven the "floating red" of wheat prices.

on December 12th, judging from the quotations of flour enterprises in different regions, some flour enterprises in Hebei and Shandong rose by about .5 points, basically above 1.4 yuan/kg. For example, the price of Dongming Wudeli in Shandong is 1.43 yuan/kg (for reference only, the same below), that of Weifang Xiangye flour is 1.43 yuan/kg, that of Dezhou Yihai Kerry is 1.44 yuan/kg, and that of Tianbang flour industry is 1.43 yuan/kg. Hebei Baixiang Wudeli quoted 1.435 yuan/kg, and Daming Wudeli quoted 1.433 yuan/kg. Henan Zhoukou Wudeli quoted 1.43 yuan/kg, Xinxiang Wudeli quoted 1.428 yuan/kg. Anhui Jinsha River offers 1.4 yuan/kg. Jiangsu Suqian Wudeli quoted 1.382 yuan/kg.

the price increase of corn

after entering December, the price of corn showed a trend of first falling and then rising, and it fell slightly during the first ten days of December, and just entered the middle of December, it stopped falling and rose in many places. According to the deep processing enterprises in Shandong, Hebei, Northeast China and other places, in recent days, the arrival of goods in front of the door has decreased, the number of vehicles is relatively small, and the price has risen to some extent.

from the analysis of market supply and demand. With the approach of the two festivals, the demand for pork has increased, which has promoted the demand for feed. Some farmers may have fed less corn feed in the past, but recently they have also increased the amount of feed, trying to improve the weight of pigs during the last period, thus promoting the demand for corn.

For deep processing enterprises, especially in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia, with the increase of rain and snow in the future, transportation is not convenient. In addition, farmers are reluctant to sell corn, which has recently increased their demand. On the one hand, it is for production needs, on the other hand, they are worried that the supply will not keep up because of the weather. Therefore, under a variety of factors, corn prices have been supported, showing a picture of stopping falling and rising.

on December 12th, judging from the quotations of deep processing enterprises in different regions, the enterprises with price increases were mainly concentrated in Shandong, among which Zhucheng Xingmao quoted 1.395 yuan/kg (for reference only, the same below), up .4 point, and Shandong Fuxiang quoted 1.365 yuan/kg, up .5 point. In addition, the price of Binzhou Xiwang, with a higher quotation, reached 1.445 yuan/kg, and that of Shandong Rong Hai reached 1.5 yuan/kg.

The quotations of deep processing enterprises in North China are relatively stable, including 1.41 yuan/kg for Mengzhou Golden Corn, 1.41 yuan/kg for Luzhou Henan and 1.38 yuan/kg for Julong Bio. Northeast China is basically stable, but there is a big difference between dry food and wet food. For example, the purchase price of Suihua Haotian, the dry food price is 1.21 yuan/kg, and the tide food price (3 moisture) is .978 yuan/kg.

instead of rising, rice drops

The trend of rice price basically shows a situation of strong in the south and weak in the north, especially in japonica rice. After entering December, the overall market probably falls instead of rising. Although the price reduction is not very large, it is not good news for farmers, especially in Northeast China.

I also discussed the price of rice with some rice farmers this year. Some rice farmers said that although the price of wheat and corn rose sharply compared with last year, the price of rice also rose to a certain extent, but the rising result was not satisfactory. Seeing that in December, I wanted to wait for a better price, but the result was a decline.

as for the reasons for the decline, it is also analyzed from the aspects of supply and demand. First, this year's rice production has increased, especially the planting area of double-cropping rice in the south has increased a lot, which has eased the demand for rice to a certain extent. Secondly, China's rice is basically produced independently, so the international rice price has little influence on China's rice price, which also explains why the international rice price has risen recently, but rice in some areas of our country has not followed suit.

One more thing, according to some traders, the price of japonica rice in the south and the north can be about 2 yuan/ton, so why not transport it from the north to the south? The main reason for this problem is that the freight is too high and it is difficult to find vehicles. Therefore, logistics transportation restricts the problem of transporting grain from the north to the south.

on December 12th, the prices of different varieties of rice in different regions were inquired. Indica rice was 1.98 yuan/kg in wuchang city, Heilongjiang Province (for reference only, the same below), 1.59 yuan/kg in Lujiang County, Anhui Province, 1.37 yuan/kg in shanggao county, Jiangxi Province and 1.35 yuan/kg in honghu city, Hubei Province. Japonica rice valley: 1.94 yuan/kg in kaiyuan city, Liaoning, 1.61 yuan/kg in Suihua, Heilongjiang, 1.58 yuan/kg in Huai 'an, Jiangsu, 1.32 yuan/kg in Xiangyang, Hubei and 1.7 yuan, Qiyang, Hunan.

Although wheat, corn and rice show different trends, it is still necessary to admit that the price of this year has been much higher than that of previous years, regardless of the rise or fall of food prices. For example, wheat has increased by .2-.3 yuan/kg and corn by .3-.4 yuan/kg.

however, some farmers want to say that although food prices have gone up, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, land rent, etc. have also gone up, and other prices have also gone up. On the whole, are there more profits or less profits? What do you think of this?
