# China’s autumn grain purchases top 100 million tons as peak season nears

> China has purchased more than 100 million tonnes of autumn grain, matching last year’s pace as the peak procurement season approaches. Purchases include over 41 million tonnes of mid- and late-season rice, while corn and soybean arrivals are increasing; six provinces have activated the rice minimum-purchase-price plan.

## Why it matters

Continued state procurement and minimum-price support can underpin grower returns and domestic grain prices, while large arrivals add supply to the market. The reported pace is broadly in line with last year, so the immediate price signal is limited.
