S&P Global analysis expects China's grain imports to rise in coming years, based on auction patterns, local meat production and corn output. China has faced a corn supply deficit since 2016, covered by reserve auctions, and its imports of barley, sorghum and wheat grew in 2020 and 2021.
Expected higher Chinese import demand for corn, barley, sorghum and wheat would tighten global supplies and support export prices. The outlook is a structural trend rather than a single new purchase.
