# China On Track For Another Bumper Harvest… | Grain Brokers

> China's corn market faces domestic price pressure from rising new-crop supplies arriving in northern and northeastern regions. Corn's share of feed rations fell from 47% in January to 29% in August as producers switched to cheaper wheat, barley and sorghum. Imported sorghum and barley stocks at southern ports reached about 2.4 million tonnes, with Q4 feed grain imports expected near 7.0 million tonnes.

## Why it matters

Heavy Chinese domestic supply and substitution away from corn point to weaker Chinese corn prices and reduced import demand for feed grains.
