On October 23, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on the performance of agricultural and rural economies in the first three quarters of 2023. Liu Han, head of the Market and Information Technology Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that autumn grain harvests are currently on the market and gradually entering the peak buying and selling season. According to the dispatch of the National Grain and Material Reserves Bureau, the purchase volume of autumn grain in the peak season this year is expected to be around 200 million tons, which will remain at a high level. level. We will actively cooperate with relevant departments to encourage localities and relevant enterprises to organize market-oriented acquisitions as soon as possible, conscientiously carry out policy-based acquisitions, optimize grain sales services for farmers, and do a solid job in ensuring supply and stable prices.
Based on the regular market operation rules and the domestic and international supply and demand situation, it is expected that the overall autumn grain purchase market this year will be stable. Among them, the quality of mid-late rice is better than normal, the market supply of grain sources is sufficient, and the overall price is expected to stabilize at the lowest purchase price Above, the characteristics of high quality and good price become more obvious. Corn production has increased significantly, but consumption is at a relatively high level, and there is still a certain gap in production and demand. It is unlikely that prices will fall significantly. Here, friends who grow grain are also requested to pay close attention to the market conditions, grasp the timing and rhythm of grain sales, and strive for high yields and increased income.
