USDA's private exporter announcement on April 24 showed 327,000 mt of U.S. corn sold to China for 2022-23 delivery had been canceled. Platts assessed Corn CFR North East Asia at $286.50/mt on April 25, its lowest since March 2021.
CBOT corn futures also fell.
Cancelled Chinese purchases remove export demand and push U.S. and Asian corn prices lower. Cheaper Brazilian corn is a competing source that may draw Chinese buyers away from U.S. supply.
