China's temporary state corn purchase policy in Northeast China has run for about six weeks, with 31.9 million tonnes bought as of December 10, and the pace of purchases has slowed. Farmers are reluctant to sell as corn prices recover, with few sellers outside the policy region.
Slower state purchases and farmer hoarding tighten near-term Chinese corn availability, which can support domestic prices and feed-grain import demand, while the reported bumper harvest worries sellers about lower storage prices.
After 328 past bullish policy events, Corn moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.3%), and -0.2% over 20.
