Will corn prices rise after the epidemic? When is the best time to sell corn in 2020?

As we all know, due to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak in China, the national level of living materials and prices of coarse and fine grains have increased to a certain extent, with varying degrees of increase. As far as food is concerned, even if there is no famine year, the prices of grain and oil in my country have been showing a slow increasing trend every year in recent days.

Will corn prices rise after the epidemic?

The epidemic is not over yet, and many villages are still under closed management, so it is difficult to buy and sell corn. So after the epidemic is over, corn prices will definitely rise, but generally not higher than 1.2 yuan per catty. The first reason is the corn itself. If it was before the New Year, the corn kernels contained more water, and they were very heavy at this time, so the corn buyers would lower the price appropriately. Now it has been a month after the New Year, and the corn has been in the warehouse for another twelfth month and the first month of the year. In the dry spring, the moisture of the corn evaporates more, and the drier it is, the higher the price should be.

When is the best time to sell corn in 2020?

Corn prices may rise this year, but not in the first half of the year, but in the second half. Farmers can sell their corn at 0.91 yuan per kilogram now, and rural brokers and middlemen can also hold back before selling. After the epidemic, the breeding industry will be in ruins, and the demand for feed corn will definitely increase.

Due to the impact of the pneumonia epidemic, there will be a peak period for people to sell corn after the epidemic. Especially for farmers in the Northeast, with the arrival of spring and the rise in temperature, it has brought some difficulties to the storage of corn, so everyone will choose to sell their own corn as soon as possible after the epidemic is over. After all, because of the pneumonia epidemic, everyone has basically not made any money for more than a month, so they will choose to sell the corn first.

This will cause a situation in which supply exceeds demand in the corn market, so buyers will take the opportunity to lower the price to purchase corn.

How will the corn market be after the epidemic?

After the epidemic is over, corn prices will stabilize, fluctuate upward, and rise in stages. In the second half of the year, pig production capacity will recover, feed corn will emerge suddenly, and demand will increase, which will drive and support the rise in corn prices. However, corn prices are affected by the country's macroeconomic control policies and will not fluctuate irrationally. Prices will reach the 2016 price level by the end of the year. Now that highways and rural roads have been restored, corn transportation and agricultural product sales have accelerated, and out-of-town transportation is fast, which also makes Shenzhen companies purchase at a lower price.
