China's grain imports, including wheat, barley, corn, rice, sorghum and soybeans, rose 80.6% by volume in June from a year earlier. Analysts attributed the surge to stockpiling against trade disruptions, domestic supply gaps and efforts to hold down food prices.
Heavy Chinese import demand absorbs global grain supplies and supports export prices for feed grains and oilseeds. Continued stockpiling could keep prices firm through the second half of the year.
