Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article indicates that corn prices in Jinzhou Port and Northeast production areas are showing a strong upward trend, with inventory levels at the northern ports at their lowest in three years [12][13][20] - From November to December, the average purchasing price of corn at Jinzhou Port increased from 2085 CNY/ton to 2250 CNY/ton, a rise of 7.91%, while the average price in the Northeast rose from 2031 CNY/ton to 2169 CNY/ton, an increase of 6.77% [13][12] - The decrease in corn collection volume at northern ports is greater than the decrease in the volume shipped south, indicating a tighter supply-demand relationship [12][20] Group 2 - The total volume of corn shipped from the northern six ports to southern regions was approximately 5.03 million tons from October to November, a slight decrease of 1.75% compared to the same period last year, primarily due to high procurement costs [14][17] - The inventory of corn at the northern six ports from October to December was significantly lower than the same period last year, with a notable decline in November and December [16][18] - As of December 19, the corn inventory at the northern six ports was 215,000 tons, marking the lowest level in three years, with a slow accumulation rate due to various factors including favorable storage conditions and high-quality grain flowing into the North China market [20][18]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings There is no information provided regarding the industry investment ratings in the given reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports 2.1 Oils and Fats Industry - Palm oil: SPPOMA's production data decline supports the market. Malaysian BMD futures may rebound near 3900 ringgit, with a near - weak and far - strong pattern. Domestic Dalian palm oil may find support around 8300 yuan and could fluctuate between 8200 - 8300 yuan [1]. - Soybean oil: Uncertainty in US biodiesel policy may reduce industrial use. Brazilian soybean harvest may pressure CBOT soybean and soybean oil. Domestic supply is sufficient in the short - term, but inventory may decrease during the Spring Festival, with limited basis fluctuation [1]. - Rapeseed oil: US crude oil price movements affect the domestic vegetable oil market. Watch if the 05 contract can stop falling between 8900 - 9000 yuan. Spot prices fluctuate slightly [1]. 2.2 Pig Industry - Spot prices are stable, with increased southern pickling demand. December - January prices are uncertain due to potential pandemic impact and secondary fattening. Spot market has some support from farmers' reluctance to sell. The futures market may adjust narrowly [3]. 2.3 Sugar Industry - ICE raw sugar futures are under pressure due to a favorable supply outlook. Brazilian, Indian, and Thai sugar production is expected to increase. Domestic sugar futures are weak due to increased supply, and prices are likely to remain bearish [7]. 2.4 Meal Industry - US soybeans lack trading highlights, and South American new - crop soybeans have a high yield expectation. Domestic soybean meal supply is loose, and the one - to - five spread is supported, but the upside is limited [9]. 2.5 Corn Industry - Short - term corn supply increase may pressure prices, but farmers' reluctance to sell and low - inventory enterprises' restocking needs limit the decline. The market is in a narrow - range oscillation [10]. 2.6 Red Date Industry - After the acquisition, the sales area has more arrivals but lower - than - expected transactions. Futures prices are weak, while spot prices are stable, and the basis is strengthening. The market may be boosted by improved consumption during the peak season [17]. 2.7 Cotton Industry - ICE cotton futures rose due to short - covering. US cotton exports showed a mixed trend. Domestic cotton has a long - term optimistic outlook but faces short - term downstream pressure. The price may face resistance around 14050 - 14100 yuan [21]. 2.8 Egg Industry - Egg prices are rising gradually, leading to farmers' reluctance to sell. Supply remains sufficient, with stable production and reduced circulation inventory. The market is expected to oscillate at a low level [23]. 3.

1. Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report 2. Core Views Corn - Globally, the U.S. corn is in the export season with high supply pressure, and the global and U.S. corn supply - demand is still relatively loose, suppressing international corn prices However, the USDA's downward adjustment of the U.S. corn's 2025/26 carry - over inventory forecast supports U.S. corn prices [2] - In China's Northeast region, the increased acquisition by reserve warehouses in December supports the market bottom, but high prices limit buyers' enthusiasm, and the release of grain sources due to rumors leads to a price decline In the North China and Huanghuai regions, farmers' selling enthusiasm increases slightly, and prices fluctuate slightly [2] - Corn futures prices have fallen from high levels recently after an unexpected increase, with high short - term volatility, so it's recommended to wait and see [2] Corn Starch - With the increase in new - season corn supply, the industry's operating rate has risen, increasing supply pressure As of December 17, the national corn starch inventory has increased However, the upcoming festivals may boost demand, and the price increase of cassava starch may also increase the demand for corn starch [3] - Affected by the decline in corn prices, corn starch prices have also fallen, so short - term waiting and seeing is recommended [3] 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - International corn market prices are suppressed by high supply pressure and relatively loose supply - demand conditions, but the strong US domestic corn spot market provides support [2]. - In the domestic market, in the Northeast, growers are reluctant to sell, and buyers are active. Deep - processing enterprises' prices are likely to rise. In the North China and Huanghuai regions, the market volume is increasing, and processing enterprises' purchase prices fluctuate slightly. Corn futures prices are generally in a strong - side shock [2]. - For corn starch, the supply pressure increases due to abundant raw materials and rising industry operating rates, but strong downstream demand and smooth enterprise sales lead to a decline in inventory. Starch futures prices also maintain a strong - side shock [3]. 3.

Group 1: Report General Information - Report Title: Corn Series Data Daily Report [3] - Researcher: Huang Xianglan from the Agricultural Products Research Center of Guomao Futures Research Institute [4] - Report Date: November 24, 2025 [4] Group 2: Price and Data Information Spot Prices - Corn Spot: Prices in various regions on November 21st remained mostly stable, with some exceptions like Inner Mongolia - Tongliao up 20 yuan/ton and Inner Mongolia - Chifeng up 30 yuan/ton. For example, Jinzhou Port FOB price was 2220 yuan/ton, and Heilongjiang - Harbin was 2030 yuan/ton [5]. - Corn Starch Spot: The price in Jilin Province was 2550 yuan/ton, unchanged [5]. - Wheat Spot: Prices in Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu were 2534 yuan/ton, 2518 yuan/ton, and 2525 yuan/ton respectively, with Jiangsu up 2 yuan/ton [5]. Futures Prices - Corn Main Contract Closing Price: 2241 yuan/ton, up 9 yuan, with a C01 - 05 spread of -57 [5]. - Corn Starch Main Contract Closing Price: 2590 yuan/ton, up 16 yuan, with a CS01 - 05 spread of -66 [5]. International Data - US Corn Closing Price: 437.75 cents per bushel, with an imported US corn duty - paid price of 2149.25 yuan/ton and an estimated profit of 220.75 yuan/ton. The US dollar - RMB exchange rate was 7.11 [5]. Spread Data - Starch - Corn (Main Continuous): 349; Starch - Corn (Jilin Spot Average): 440 [5]. Inventory Data - North Port Corn Inventory: 117.0 million tons; Guangdong Port Corn Inventory - Domestic: 27.3 million tons; Deep - processing Corn Inventory - Northeast: 177.5 million tons; Guangdong Port Corn Inventory - Foreign: 35.5 million tons; Deep - processing Corn Inventory - North China: 75.4 million tons [5] Group 3: Supply, Demand, and Inventory Analysis Supply - Northeast production areas face concentrated supply pressure later, with attention on the selling pressure from December to January. The 25/26 planting cost continues to decline, the sown area is slightly reduced, the yield per unit is good, and a bumper harvest is expected. Imported grain policy restrictions continue, and the supply of imported grains is shrinking [5]. Demand - Livestock and poultry are expected to maintain high inventory in the short term, supporting feed demand. However, current breeding profits are in the red, and national policies aim to control pig inventory and weight, which may affect long - term supply. Enterprises with low inventory have a rigid demand for replenishing corn, and deep - processing enterprises have seasonal inventory - building needs. Channel traders have a strong purchasing willingness [5]. Inventory - Due to good shipping demand, the inventory accumulation speed at North Ports is slow, while the corn inventory at South Ports is rising. With the supplement of imported grains, the overall grain inventory is increasing. With the addition of new - season corn, ports are expected to be in the inventory - accumulation stage. Feed enterprise inventory is low, and deep - processing corn is seasonally accumulating inventory [5]. Group 4: Core View - In the short term, factors such as farmers' reluctance to sell, logistics tension in the Northeast, and low downstream inventory lead to a temporary supply shortage, postponing the selling pressure. Before the supply pressure is fully released, the market's ability to accept high - priced corn is limited. The futures price is expected to have limited rebound and will face pressure tests later. Attention should be paid to the grain - selling progress, logistics, and weather [13]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the given content. 2. Core View of the Report - Short - term, due to farmers' reluctance to sell and some buyers' need to replenish high - quality corn stocks, spot prices in the production areas are firm, and the futures market rebounds. However, with the expected post - ponement of selling pressure and the lack of strong upward drivers before the full release of supply pressure, the short - term rebound is expected to be limited. Attention should be paid to the subsequent farmers' selling rhythm and traders' stock - purchasing behavior [6]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Price and Market Data - **Spot Prices**: On November 13th, the flat - hatch price in Jinzhou Port was 2,200 yuan/ton (up 10 yuan), in Bayuquan Port was 2,205 yuan/ton (up 15 yuan), and in Shekou Port was 2,330 yuan/ton (up 10 yuan). The prices in different regions within provinces such as Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, and Inner Mongolia also showed various changes. The corn starch spot price in Jilin was 2,550 yuan/ton, and in Henan was 2,514 yuan/ton. The wheat spot price in Anhui was 2,504 yuan/ton, and in Jiangsu was 2,509 yuan/ton [5]. - **Futures Prices**: The closing price of the corn main contract was 2,188 yuan/ton (up 17 yuan), and the closing price of the corn starch main contract was 2,490 yuan/ton (down 10 yuan). The closing price of US corn was 435.50 cents per bushel, the import duty - paid price of US corn was 2,180.40 yuan/ton, and the estimated profit of importing US corn was 139.60 yuan/ton [5]. - **Spread Data**: The starch - corn spread of the main continuous contract was 302, and the starch - corn spread of the Jilin spot average price was 460 [5]. - **Inventory Data**: The corn inventory in the northern ports was 85.2 million tons, the domestic trade corn inventory in Guangdong ports was 19.3 million tons, the foreign trade corn inventory in Guangdong ports was 19.4 million tons, the deep - processing corn inventory in the Northeast was 184.4 million tons, and the deep - processing corn inventory in North China was 68.8 million tons [5]. 3.2 Supply and Demand Analysis - **Supply**: The Northeast production area still faces the pressure of concentrated supply, and the low - quality damp grain in North China also has storage pressure. It is recommended to pay attention to the selling pressure in the production areas from December to January. In the 2025/2026 season, the planting cost continues to decline, the sown area is slightly reduced, the per - unit yield is good, and an overall bumper harvest is expected. The import of grains is restricted by policies, and the supply of imported grains is decreasing [5]. - **Demand**: According to the data of the Feed Industry Association, in September 2025, the national industrial feed output was 30.36 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 3.4% and a year - on - year increase of 5.0%. The proportion of corn in the compound feed produced by enterprises was 33.6%, a year - on - year decrease of 2.4 percentage points. In the short term, the high inventory of livestock and poultry is expected to be maintained, and the capacity reduction is not obvious, which supports the feed demand. However, the current breeding profit is in a loss state, and national policies tend to control the inventory and weight of pigs, which may affect the supply in the far - term. Feed enterprises have a low inventory and a rigid demand for replenishing corn stocks, and deep - processing enterprises have a seasonal demand for building stocks, and traders have a strong willingness to purchase [5]. 3.3 Inventory Situation - Due to good shipping demand, the inventory accumulation speed in the northern ports is slow, and the corn inventory in the southern ports has rebounded from a low level. With the supplement of imported grains, the overall grain inventory has increased. With the supplement of new - season corn, the ports are expected to be in the inventory - accumulation stage. Feed enterprises have a low inventory, and deep - processing corn has a seasonal inventory increase [5].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views - For corn, as the US corn harvest progresses, supply pressure will gradually increase, but the recent rise in US soybeans and wheat provides external support. In the domestic market, the main producing areas are still releasing sales pressure, but as multiple market entities build storage and the central reserve increases purchases, the circulation of grain sources slows down, and some deep - processing enterprises have raised purchase prices. The corn market has shown a slightly stronger trend recently, and short - term observation is recommended [2]. - For corn starch, the supply of raw material corn is abundant, and the industry's operating rate is rising due to improved processing profits, increasing supply - side pressure. However, downstream orders and pick - ups have slowed down slightly, and inventory has increased marginally. The corn starch market has oscillated and risen in tandem with the corn market, and short - term observation is recommended [3]. 3.

All major grain productions will increase, with corn having the largest increase and rice the smallest. Corn and rice production are expected to hit new highs [2]. - As of November 2nd, the US corn harvest is 83% complete, up from 72% a week ago [2].

Group 1: Report General Information - The report is titled "Corn System Data Daily" and is from the Agricultural Products Research Center of ITC Futures Research Institute, written by Huang Xianglan on November 6, 2025 [3][4] Group 2: Market Data Summary Spot Market - Corn spot prices in various regions show different trends. For example, the price in Henan - Zhengzhou increased by 20 yuan to 2220 yuan, while the price in Jilin - Changchun decreased by 10 yuan to 2060 yuan. Corn starch spot prices in Jilin remained at 2550 yuan, and wheat spot prices in Anhui remained at 2517 yuan [5] Futures Market - The closing price of the corn main contract was 2115 yuan, down 5 yuan; the closing price of the corn starch main contract was 2420 yuan, up 8 yuan. The closing price of US corn was 430.75 cents per bushel, with an estimated profit of 96.03 yuan per ton for imported US corn [5] Spread and Inventory Data - The spread between starch and corn (main continuous) was 305, and the spread between starch and corn (Jilin spot average) was 490. North Port corn inventory was 852 thousand tons, and Guangdong Port's domestic and foreign trade corn inventories were 193 thousand tons and 194 thousand tons respectively. Deep - processing corn inventories in the Northeast and North China were 1.926 million tons and 685 thousand tons respectively [5] Group 3: Supply and Demand Analysis Supply - Northeast production areas face concentrated supply pressure, and there is also pressure to store poor - quality damp grain in North China. The 2025/2026 planting cost continues to decline, the sown area is stable or slightly decreasing, the yield per unit is good, and there is an overall expectation of a bumper harvest. Imported grain supply is shrinking due to policy restrictions [5] Demand - In the short - term, livestock and poultry are expected to maintain high inventory, supporting feed demand. However, current breeding profits are in the red, and national policies may control pig inventory and weight, which may affect long - term supply. Feed enterprises have a rigid demand for replenishing inventory, and deep - processing enterprises have seasonal inventory - building needs, but they tend to lower prices for low - quality grain [5] Group 4: Inventory Situation - Due to good shipping demand, the inventory accumulation speed at North Ports is slow, and the corn inventory at South Ports has rebounded from a low level. With the addition of new - season corn, ports are expected to be in an inventory - accumulation stage. Feed enterprise inventories are at a low level, and deep - processing corn inventories are seasonally accumulating [5] Group 5: Market Outlook - In the short - term, North Port prices are relatively firm, but both futures and spot prices will face selling pressure tests later. The market is expected to show a volatile bottom - building trend. Attention should be paid to the rhythm of traders' grain purchases and policy changes [6]

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating The report does not provide an investment rating for the corn industry. 2. Core Viewpoints - Internationally, after the production increase in South American countries such as Brazil and Argentina, the production estimates of the Northern Hemisphere countries like the US and Ukraine have increased again. The global corn market remains relatively loose, and international corn prices will continue to run at a low level [1][30]. - Domestically, the new - season corn production is generally expected to increase, and the cost has decreased. The market anticipates significant listing pressure later, so grain - purchasing entities are relatively cautious in procurement. Although the price difference between wheat and corn has been repaired recently, and feed enterprises may adjust the corn usage ratio back, the motivation to significantly increase inventory is limited due to the low profits in the breeding industry and the policy - guided capacity reduction. In the deep - processing sector, although the processing profits of some local enterprises have been repaired, the high finished - product inventory restricts the initiative to significantly increase inventory. The current visible inventory at the north - south ports is low, with some restocking space later. According to the general seasonal pattern, the grain - selling progress in Northeast China will accelerate in November, increasing market pressure, and domestic corn may show a weak and volatile pattern [1][30]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review - Since October, the domestic spot price of corn has dropped significantly. In North China, due to long - term rainfall during the harvest period, the corn moisture content is high, and the storage is difficult.潮粮 is mainly sold to the deep - processing sector, and enterprises have taken the opportunity to lower prices. In Northeast China, the harvest season has arrived, with a strong production increase expectation and reduced planting costs, and the grass - roots have a good attitude towards selling grain. On the demand side, the breeding profit has continued to deteriorate, the feed demand expectation has worsened, and the deep - processing operation rate is low, providing insufficient support for corn. The futures price has dropped but performed better than the spot price overall. After mid - October, it rebounded with the support of the State Reserve's grain purchase. The basis of the northern port corn to C2511 has decreased from a high level and returned to the normal range [3]. 3.2 International Corn Market Analysis - **US New - Season Corn Supply and Demand are Loose**: According to the USDA's September supply - demand report, the 2025/26 US corn harvest area is 36.44 million hectares, the yield per unit is 11.72 tons per hectare, and the total output is 427 million tons. The feed consumption is 155 million tons, the food and processing demand is 177 million tons, the export is 75.57 million tons, and the year - end carry - over inventory is 536 million tons. Although the total supply has increased, the carry - over inventory has decreased, and the inventory - to - consumption ratio has dropped to 13.14%, still the highest since 2020/2021 [5]. - **The Production of Brazil and Argentina is Expected to Remain at a High Level**: According to the USDA's September estimate, the 2024/25 Brazilian corn output is 135 million tons, with an export of 43 million tons and domestic consumption of 93 million tons. For 2025/26, the output is predicted to be 131 million tons, slightly lower than the previous year. The CONAB's latest estimate shows that the 2025/26 Brazilian corn output is expected to reach 138 million tons, about 3 million tons less than the previous year. In Argentina, the 2024/25 output is estimated at 50 million tons, with a slight decrease in export and a slight increase in consumption, and a small increase in inventory. The 2025/26 output is predicted to be 53 million tons, with an export of 37 million tons and a carry - over inventory of 3.18 million tons. Overall, the total output of Brazil and Argentina in South America increased significantly in 2024/25, and the export supply capacity has recovered. The 2025/26 output is currently predicted to be generally stable, but the prediction is still early and needs continuous tracking [8]. - **The New - Season Corn Output in Ukraine is Expected to Increase Recoveringly**: According to the USDA's estimate, the 2025/26 Ukrainian corn output is expected to be 32 million tons, an increase of 5.2 million tons or 19.4% compared to the previous year. The increase is mainly due to a slight increase in area and the recovery of yield per unit. The final end - of - period carry - over inventory is 1.14 million tons, recovering compared to the previous year. The growth situation of Ukrainian corn is good, and the prospect of production increase is clear [10]. 3.3 Domestic Corn Market Analysis - **The New - Season Output is Expected to Increase, with High Listing Pressure**: According to the analysis report of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the 2025/26 national corn output is expected to reach 296 million tons, an increase of more than 1 million tons compared to the previous year, mainly due to the increase in yield per unit. Folk surveys also tend to predict an increase in production, with some estimating an increase of 10 million tons by the end of the year. Overall, due to good lighting conditions, the expectation of a full - year production increase is basically undisputed. In North China, the corn quality is poor due to continuous rainfall during the harvest period, while in Northeast China, the weather has been good, and the grain quality has been significantly improved. At the beginning of the new - season corn listing in 2025, the sales progress in many places in Northeast China was faster than the same period of the previous year. However, considering that the peak listing period of new - season corn in Northeast China is usually after "freezing" and there is a bumper harvest this year, the impact of the autumn grain listing in the north may have just begun. The purchase prices of the State Reserve are generally slightly lower than last year, matching the cost decrease. Currently, both the State Reserve and downstream grain - using enterprises have a cautious purchasing attitude [13]. - **The Price Difference between Wheat and Corn has Increased, and the Corn Usage Ratio has Rebounded**: Since October, the wheat price has risen slightly, while the North China corn price has been suppressed by the new - season listing. The price difference between wheat and corn has increased rapidly, and wheat has lost its substitution advantage over corn considering the protein difference. From the statistics of the Feed Industry Association, the corn addition ratio in compound feed has stabilized in August and rebounded in September. If the price difference remains in the later period, the feed industry may gradually adjust back the corn usage ratio. However, the lack of confidence in future feed consumption growth in the industry restricts the feed enterprises' inventory - building enthusiasm. The pig and egg - laying industries are in a loss state, and the expectation of capacity reduction restricts the feed enterprises' initiative to build inventory [15][18]. - **The Raw Material Cost has Decreased, and the Deep - Processing Profit has Improved**: In October, the starch processing profit has seasonally rebounded due to the decrease in raw material cost caused by the new - season corn listing. However, the current processing profit is still at a relatively low level compared to the same period, limiting the increase in the operation rate. The processing profit of alcohol enterprises has also been significantly repaired in October, mainly in Henan Province. The profit increase in Henan is due to the high moisture content and poor quality of new - season corn caused by continuous rainfall, which can only be used for alcohol production. The raw material inventory of deep - processing enterprises has rapidly rebounded in October, but it is still at a relatively low level compared to the same period, indicating that enterprises lack the initiative to significantly increase inventory [20][22]. - **The Inventory in the Circulation Link is Still Low but will Increase Seasonally Later**: The inventory at the northern ports has slightly rebounded to 1 million tons, with a significant increase in the arrival and shipment volume. As the new - season corn harvest in Northeast China progresses, the port inventory will increase seasonally. The grain inventory in the Guangdong sales area is currently at a relatively high level compared to the same period, mainly due to the large arrival of imported barley. For corn, the domestic - trade corn inventory remains low, while the foreign - trade corn inventory has increased significantly due to the increase in arrival [24].

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View New grain harvest is in the second half, with significant pressure from increased production in Northeast China and damaged grain quality due to mold in North China. Demand is strong, and there may be a shortage of high - quality corn in the later period. It is recommended that deep - processing enterprises buy corn on dips, feed enterprises buy high - quality wet grain on dips, and traders make purchases as needed [7]. 3. Summary by Related Content Market Price and Basis - Corn main contract 2601 oscillated and stabilized. Spot prices were stable with a slight increase. The flat - hatch price of corn in Bayuquan rose from 2150 yuan/ton to around 2180 yuan/ton, and the arrival price of corn at Shekou Port remained stable at around 2310 yuan/ton. The corn basis oscillated, with the futures slightly at a discount. - Starch main contract 2601 stopped falling and rebounded. The starch price of Weifang Jinyu remained stable at around 2800 yuan/ton, and the basis weakened oscillating [4]. Supply - side Situation - **Grain Quality Differentiation**: In the second half of the autumn harvest, grain quality differentiated. Corn production increased in Northeast China, and the harvest was nearing completion with good quality but pressure from increased supply. In North China and the Huang - Huai region, previous continuous rainy weather led to poor grain quality such as mold and germination. High - quality corn in Northeast China was favored, and the public auction of China Grain Reserves Corporation had a large - volume transaction. On October 20, 14,217 tons were put up for auction and all were sold [4]. - **Channel Inventory**: As of October 17, the corn inventory in the northern ports was 959,000 tons and continued to rise; the weekly shipping volume reached a high of 804,000 tons. The domestic - trade corn inventory in Guangdong Port continued to decline to 118,000 tons, while the foreign - trade corn inventory rebounded to 362,000 tons. The inventory of downstream enterprises varied. The corn inventory of deep - processing enterprises increased, reaching 2.622 million tons as of October 24, while the corn inventory of feed enterprises decreased to 24.04 days, remaining at a low level in recent years [5]. - **Grain Substitution and Imports**: The price difference between wheat and corn widened to around 200, and wheat lost its substitution advantage. The auction of policy rice stopped. Domestic corn imports remained at a low level. In September, 60,000 tons of corn were imported, a year - on - year decrease of 80.7%; from January to September, a total of 936,000 tons of corn were imported, a year - on - year decrease of 92.7%. Due to the uncertainty of Sino - US trade negotiations, imports were expected to remain low [5]. - **Foreign Market**: The US corn in the foreign market oscillated and rebounded. There was significant pressure from the concentrated harvest of US corn, and production increased. Due to the US government shutdown, the US Department of Agriculture's reports were suspended [5]. Demand - side Situation - **Feed Demand**: Pig prices were low, and pig farming suffered large losses. As of October 17, the profit of purchasing piglets for fattening was - 375.29 yuan per head, and the self - breeding and self - fattening profit was - 244.7 yuan per head. Even leading pig enterprises such as Muyuan had started to incur losses. Policy regulation of production capacity was lagging and insufficient, and short - term inventory reduction was difficult. Although the inventory of breeding sows had been adjusted downward, the adjustment was small, and the overall progress was slow, far from the regulation target. Pig inventory might still increase inertia. In the poultry sector, egg prices fell again, and egg - chicken farming suffered losses again. The inventory of laying hens in production increased in September. The loss and cycle of egg - chicken farming were insufficient, leading to a delay in production - capacity adjustment. In September, the feed production volume was 30.36 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 3.4% and a year - on - year increase of 7.9%; from January to September, the cumulative production volume was 246.54 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 8.9%. Feed demand remained strong [6]. - **Deep - processing Demand**: The demand of deep - processing enterprises might pick up, and the peak season was gradually approaching. A large amount of low - priced moldy corn could only enter the deep - processing sector, significantly reducing the cost of deep - processing enterprises. The starch - processing profit was fully profitable, and the operating rate increased. As of October 17, the operating rate of starch - processing enterprises was 55.62%, showing an overall upward trend recently. Starch inventory decreased. Some alcohol - processing enterprises had profits, and the operating rate increased to 61.67%, also showing an overall upward trend recently. The operating rate of downstream starch - sugar enterprises was weak, while that of paper - making enterprises was strong [7].
