# Corn Trucks from Dairi Stranded in Medan as Farm-Gate Prices Fall

> Several trucks carrying farmers' corn from Dairi Regency are stuck in the Medan Industrial Area, North Sumatra, unable to unload. Warehouses and factories in Medan and Pematangsiantar have reportedly been closed for about a week. Traders say they are buying corn at Rp5,000 to Rp5,200 per kg at 17% moisture, and farmers have seen their selling prices cut.
