China’s insatiable appetite and changing demand for more varied diet,
including meats and grains, is significantly lifting consumption of soybeans
and corns. From soybean prices reaching 34-year highs, fuelled by aggressive
buying from China and growing competition for feed from India & China,
the popularity of ethanol for fuel will also drive up corn prices.
On the supply side, as a major corn producer globally, China has decided to
suspend all approvals for industrial corn processing units for the next 3 years,
to contain the demand for corn and stabilize prices. Since March 2008, the
Chinese government has tightened corn exports, keeping the world guessing
whether it will become a net corn buyer as in the case with soy in 1996.
