Chinese buyers increase feed grain imports from United States and Australia following domestic crop damage

Chinese buyers are buying more U.S. sorghum and Australian barley after rain damaged domestic corn. These imports help feed producers facing high local prices.

Chinese CNCN buyers/importers have sharply increased their purchases of U.S. USUS sorghum and Australian AUAU barley after heavy rains damaged parts of the domestic corn harvest. This shift in procurement comes as the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (China) monitors a tightening domestic corn supply that has driven up local prices. The surge in demand follows the post-October resumption of agricultural purchases between the United States and China, a development occurring amid the broader diplomatic context involving Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.
