Starch prices are expected to be stable with a slight upward trend, depending on pre - festival downstream stocking enthusiasm [3] - Medium - to long - term: For corn, focus on import and domestic auction policies. For starch, focus on downstream consumption rhythm and post - season inventory reduction [3] Group 3: Sugar Price Data - From January 6 - 12, 2026, the prices in Liuzhou and Nanning were stable at 5390, while Nanning increased by 10 to 5360.

Price increases depend on further production and inventory reduction in the near term. Pay attention to factors such as slaughter rhythm, diseases, and policies [18]
