Food price reference (wheat/maize/rice) in all provinces of the country, 25 march 2026

Food price reference (wheat/maize/rice) in all provinces of the country, 25 march 2026

(in dollar/tonne, to the plant price, at the basic purchase price of $30-80/t, by quality)

I. Wheat (puma): increased policy food delivery, high price shocks

• core production areas:

• hebei: 2560-2620 (mainstream 2590)

• shandong: 2580-2630 (locally down 2-5 cents)

• henan: 2570-2630 (soft purchase and sale, 561,000 tons at municipal auction)

• jiangsu/anhui: 2580-2620 (forage support)

• south and marketing areas:

• hubei/huanan: 2590-2630

Zhejiang/fujan: 2620-2660

• guangdong/guangxi: 2660-2700

• north-west and north-east:

• shaanxi/gansu: 2550-2590

• heilongjiang/gilin: 2540-2570 (non-principal area, low price)

• logic: policy wheat auctions have increased to 800,000 tons, market supply constraints have eased, downstream firms have diminished their willingness to take on high prices and prices have recovered from high price shocks。

Ii. Corn (14% of dry grain water): steady north-east, north-west china, and wider north-south price differentials

• north-east sector:

• heilongjiang: 2370-2410 (deep processing offer 2370-2440)

• jilin: 2,400-2440

• liaoning: 2430-2470

• inner mongolia: 2390-2430

• north china:

• shandong: 2480-2530 (local small echo)

• hebei: 2460-2500

• henan: 2450-2490

• southern marketing area:

• jiangsu/anhui: 2470-2510

• hubei/honan: 2480-2530

• guangdong/guangxi: 2530-2570 (small fall of $10 per ton)

• fujian: 2510-2550

• sichuan/chongqing: 2490-2540

• case logic: food sales at the grass-roots level are winding down and the food supply is tight; farming losses lead to weak demand for feed and increased wheat substitution; deep-processors just need to replenish their banks to support stable and moderate prices。

Rice (paddy/paddy): paddy is strong, paddy is smooth, policy bottoms

• primary rice-producing areas:

• heilong river: 2820-2900 (round to plant price)

• jilin:

• super rice: 2960-3120

• 5:3660-3760 (high-quality premium)

• liaoning: 2880-2960

• jiangsu: 2900-2960

• angry: 2880-2940

• primary rice-producing areas:

• anhui (middle evening): 2720-2780

• hubei: 2700-2760

• hunan: 2710-2770

Jiangxi: 2700-2760

• sichuan/chongqing: 2730-2790

Zhejiang/fujan: 2800-2880

• logic: there is a shortage of food left over at the grass-roots level and a high level of enthusiasm on the part of the farmers; the rate of start-up of rice plants has declined and the pattern of rice weakness has continued; today, 46,000 tons of rice have been thrown into the medium-storage stock, with a clear policy background。

Iv. Conclusion

• wheat: increased policy food delivery, easy market supply, high price shocks, short-term or charged reversals。

• corn: a steady increase in the north-east, a partial reversal in north china, a widening north-south spread and high prices in the marketing areas。

• rice: paddy is supported by a high-quality food supply that operates more strongly, paddy supply and demand are relaxed and prices are stable。

• soybeans (supplemented): the price of soybean produced in the country is divided between 5,600-5800 yuan/tonne in the north-east and 4900-5200 yuan/tonne in the north-east, which is suppressed by the expected arrival of imported soybeans。

Note: food prices are influenced by fluctuations in policies, supply and demand, weather, etc., and it is recommended that close attention be paid to the dynamics of the chinese stock auctions and to the pace of growth at the grass-roots level。
