Core Viewpoint - The stability of soybean and corn supply in Northeast China is crucial for food security, with key variables affecting farmers' planting benefits being land rent, yield, subsidies, and prices. While land rent and yield have improved, price fluctuations remain a significant concern for local farmers [4][5]. Group 1: Agricultural Economics - The decline in corn prices has led to reduced planting enthusiasm among farmers, impacting the overall planting area. In 2023, corn purchase prices fell from 0.89 yuan per jin to 0.82 yuan, and in 2024, from 0.79 yuan to 0.73 yuan, indicating a continuous downward trend over three years [6][7]. - Major agricultural companies are exploring the use of futures tools to stabilize planting income through order agriculture, where fixed purchase prices are agreed upon in advance to mitigate price volatility risks [6][7]. Group 2: Futures Market Utilization - The "惠民保价" project initiated by agricultural companies allows farmers to lock in prices for their crops, with examples showing increased income for farmers who participated. For instance, a farmer secured a price of 0.93 yuan per jin, resulting in an additional income of 200,000 yuan [7]. - The "夏季一口价" model, combined with the "增收宝" product, enables farmers to benefit from price increases while ensuring a minimum price for their crops, enhancing their income stability [7]. Group 3: Risk Management for Processing Enterprises - Downstream processing companies, such as维维股份, are also exposed to price volatility and are utilizing futures markets to lock in raw material costs. The company has been involved in futures since 2014 to stabilize procurement costs and manage inventory effectively [8][10]. -维维股份 reported that raw material costs, particularly for soybeans, account for over 40% of their production costs, making effective cost management essential for maintaining profit margins [9][10]. Group 4: Comprehensive Financial Support - The "银期保" project launched in 2023 aims to provide comprehensive financial support to farmers, addressing challenges such as financing difficulties and unstable sales channels. This project involves collaboration between planting entities, futures companies, insurance firms, grain purchasing companies, and banks [11][12]. - The project allows farmers to secure their income through insurance and futures contracts, with one cooperative increasing its planting area significantly after participating in the program, demonstrating its effectiveness in risk management [12].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - The downstream demand for red dates remains in the seasonal consumption off - season, with a slow terminal sales pace, low purchasing willingness of traders, and a light market trading atmosphere. The supply of old red dates is sufficient, and the high temperature in the producing areas has not significantly affected the growth, showing no significant downward trend in production. The current second - crop fruit - setting situation is better than expected, and the third - crop is still in the critical fruit - setting period. It is expected that the red date price will mainly fluctuate within a range in the short term [8][40] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1走势回顾 (Trend Review) - **Futures Price**: Last week, the red date futures market showed a range - bound pattern. As of last Friday's close, the CJ601 contract was reported at 10,445 yuan/ton, down 0.29%. The trading volume was 775,747 lots, and the open interest was 125,910 lots.

The arrival volume in the Hebei market rebounded. Although it is in the traditional consumption off - season, the downstream has phased replenishment needs, driving up the price of high - quality goods and significantly increasing the circulation rate.

Taking Aksu as an example, although there was a low temperature of - 18℃ in January, the dormant period of jujube trees was not affected by freezing damage, and the budding period in mid - April was earlier than usual. After the girdling operation of red dates, the high - temperature weather in the producing area gradually subsided, and there was no large - scale physiological fruit drop. In terms of precipitation, the precipitation in Aksu was 6mm, a decrease of 49.19mm compared to the same period last year, and the precipitation in Kashgar was 17mm, at a low level in recent years. The quality of jujube fruits is likely to be higher than that of the previous season. After mid - August, jujube fruits will gradually start to gain sugar. Continuous attention should be paid to the weather changes in the producing area [39] 3.6后市展望 (Market Outlook) - The downstream demand for red dates remains in the seasonal consumption off - season, with a slow terminal sales pace, low purchasing willingness of traders, and a light market trading atmosphere. The supply of old red dates is sufficient, and the high temperature in the producing areas has not significantly affected the growth, showing no significant downward trend in production. The current second - crop fruit - setting situation is better than expected, and the third - crop is still in the critical fruit - setting period. It is expected that the red date price will mainly fluctuate within a range in the short term [8][40] 3.7操作策略 (Operation Strategy) - Mainly conduct range trading and continuously monitor the impact of recent high temperatures on the third - crop fruit - setting [9][41]
