Overview 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.
