Group 1: Report General Information - Report Date: December 19, 2025 [1] - Report Type: Agricultural Products Morning Report [17] Group 2: Corn/Starch Analysis Price Data - Corn prices in Changchun remained stable at 2160, while prices in Jinzhou increased by 10, and prices in Weifang and Shekou remained unchanged. Corn basis increased by 26, and trade profit decreased by 10 and import profit decreased by 8. [2] - Starch prices in Heilongjiang and Weifang remained stable, basis increased by 13, and processing profit remained unchanged. [2] Market Analysis - Short - term: Corn spot prices showed a differentiated trend, with port prices falling and production area prices rising. Starch prices are expected to remain stable due to seasonal consumption support and supply constraints. [3] - Medium - long term: For corn, if downstream consumption weakens seasonally and intermediaries release hoarded grains, prices may decline. For starch, the key factor for pricing is whether enterprise inventories continue to decline after the seasonal peak. [3] Group 3: Sugar Analysis Price Data - Sugar prices in Liuzhou decreased by 20, Nanning by 50, and Kunming by 25. Liuzhou basis increased by 17, Thai import profit increased by 62, and Brazilian import profit increased by 62. [5] Market Analysis - Short - term: The supply of domestic new sugar is increasing, and sugar mill quotes are falling rapidly, driving the futures price down. The futures price can still refer to domestic sugar cost and spot price. [5] - Medium - long term: If the global sugar market surplus intensifies, the futures price will seek the cost of out - of - quota imports. [5] Group 4: Cotton/Cotton Yarn Analysis Price Data - The price of 3128 cotton increased by 35, and the spot price of cotton yarn increased by 5. The import profit of Vietnamese yarn decreased by 1, and the 32S spinning profit decreased by 32. [8] Market Analysis - The low initial inventory offsets most of the production increase.

[8] Group 5: Egg Analysis Price Data - Egg prices in Hebei, Liaoning, and Shandong remained stable, Henan remained stable, and Hubei increased by 0.05.

[12] Market Analysis - The egg inventory inflection point has appeared but the base is still high. If the culling of laying hens accelerates, it will speed up the capacity reduction process. If the spot price remains low before Laba Festival, a concentrated culling is expected, which is beneficial to egg prices in the second quarter. [12] Group 6: Apple Analysis Price Data - The price of Shandong 80 first - and second - grade apples remained stable at 8900. [15][16] Market Analysis - The national apple storage is basically completed. The estimated national cold - storage inventory is about 5.5%, a decrease of more than 10% compared to last year. The spot market lacks high - quality goods, and the price difference between good and bad apples is widening. The futures price is expected to show a pattern of near - term strength and long - term weakness. [16] Group 7: Pig Analysis Price Data - Pig prices in Henan Kaifeng increased by 0.10, Hubei Xiangyang by 0.05, Shandong Linyi by 0.10, Anhui Hefei by 0.30, and Jiangsu Nantong by 0.20. The basis increased by 210. [16] Market Analysis - Pig spot prices were strong on weekends. With the approaching of the Winter Solstice, the sustainability of the spot price rebound should be monitored. There is an expectation of both supply and demand increase before the Spring Festival, but the near - term supply pressure is still large. The improvement of long - term sentiment depends on near - term capacity and inventory reduction. [16]
