# Chaos at corn buying points: prices falling, gas enough for one day, and farmers left with thousands of tonnes of grain

> Polish corn buyers are halting or limiting intake of wet grain because drying gas supplies are short, with some firms having only about 24 hours of gas. Purchase prices have dropped by around 50 zł/t in nearby buying points as farmers face unsold harvests.

## Why it matters

Intake disruptions and falling local prices reduce short-term availability of Polish corn for feed mills and may push buyers toward imports. Gas cost and supply uncertainty add upward pressure on drying costs.
