In the long - term, insufficient import and domestic grain supply give a strong upward expectation. Future focus will be on supply supplements, new - season planting, and warehouse receipt changes [3] - Starch: The short - term price will stay high due to high procurement costs. In the long - term, limited downstream consumption growth and high inventory restrict price adjustment.

The prices of substitute products like white - feather broilers, yellow - feather broilers, and pigs were relatively stable [8] Market Analysis - Low egg prices in mid - March led to hen culling and increased consumption. Recently, downstream stocking is almost done, and egg prices in production areas have been reduced. Delayed capacity reduction may be affected by price drops and rising feed costs [8] Group 6: Apples Price Data - From April 23 - 29, 2025, the spot price of Shandong 80 first - and second - grade apples remained 8200, and that of Shaanxi 70 general apples remained 4.60.
