China Corn Futures Hit Record High Amid Worries Over Crop Damage ...

By Hallie Gu and Shivani Singh BEIJING, Oct 14 (Reuters) - China's corn futures hit a record high on Wednesday as investors bet on higher prices for the grain because of crop damage from typhoons this year and due to Beijing's efforts in years past to whittle down its once-mammoth state reserves. The milestone came as China bought another 420,000 tonnes of U.S. corn, adding to record purchases topping more than 12 million tonnes this year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The most actively traded corn futures on Dalian Commodity Exchange for delivery in January hit 2,595 yuan ($385.14) per tonne, the highest on record. China's corn output is expected to fall this year after typhoons flattened crops in parts of the country's northeastern corn belt, further stoking supply concerns after Beijing ran down its massive state stockpiles over the last several years. The blistering rally in such a key feed sector [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html tour du lịch quế lâm] staple - prices are up nearly 14% since early September despite the ongoing harvest - has raised expectations of additional crop imports. Late-season weather damage to fully-formed plants in key production zones has also clouded outlook on the scale and quality of the emerging crops. Corn acreage in some regions of [http://de.pons.com/übersetzung?q=Heilongjiang%20province&l=deen&in=&lf=en Heilongjiang province] also fell as farmers switched to soybeans, while output from Liaoning and Jilin provinces is expected to drop due to drought, said Meng Jinhui, senior analyst with Shengda Futures. "The stockpile has been sold out. The market strongly expects supply shortages, and has gone bullish (on futures,)" Meng said. Traders, dryers and end-users are scrambling to buy corn, said Yuan, manager of a grain drying operation in Heilongjiang, the country's top corn producer, where supplies from the just-harvested new crop have begun to enter the market. "Many people believe prices will rise further," said Yuan, who was willing to be identified only by his surname due to the sensitivity of the matter. Prices have also gained in other key corn hubs including Shandong, Hebei and Henan provinces, analysts and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] traders said. Purchase prices for the new crop are at least 30% higher than in recent years, according to farmer Song Yongquan, who manages a cooperative that grows around 1,000 mu (67 hectares, or 166 acres) of corn in Henan. That's after a temporary dip in prices in late September as the newly harvested supplies hit the market. "The price already hit a low point when the new crop kicked in," said Song. "Prices will go up further gradually."

Fearing Second Wave China apos;s Wuhan Ramps Up Coronavirus Tests

By XIHAO JIANG and Brenda Goh WUHAN, China, May 15 (Reuters) - Authorities in Wuhan have tested over 3 million residents for the coronavirus in April and May and aim to test all of the rest, state media said, as the city at the epicentre of the original outbreak faces the threat of a second wave of infections. Priority will go to residents who have not been tested before, and people living in residential compounds with previous cases of infection, or old or densely populated estates, the official Xinhua News Agency reported late Thursday, citing a Wuhan government meeting. Fears of a second wave just as businesses and schools reopen flared at the weekend after Wuhan reported a cluster of cases, the first since a lockdown was lifted on April 8. Those infections were previously asymptomatic - people who had the virus but had shown no fever or other symptoms. Authorities should have a clear indication of the number of asymptomatic cases once everyone in the city has been tested, Xinhua said, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html tour du lịch quế lâm] without giving a timeframe for that process. Reuters, citing an internal document to district officials, reported on May 11 that the city planned to conduct the tests for the rest of its 11 million [http://www.stockhouse.com/search?searchtext=residents residents] over just 10 days. On Friday in open-air plazas, Wuhan residents waited patiently in long queues for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] their turn to take the test. "I think it's necessary," said Wuhan resident Tong Zheguang, 32. "There's a possibility of a recurrence of the epidemic." Jiang Liandi, 70, said: "Of course I'm a little bit worried. I'm also afraid there will be new infections." Wuhan has detected more than a dozen asymptomatic infections per day in recent days. Some experts say the mass testing is unprecedented in scale, and shows the level of concern. Others say the sheer size of the operation is bound to lead to errors. The city conducted 1.79 million coronavirus tests from April 1 to May 13, according to Reuters calculations based on daily reports published by the city's health commission. If Xinhua's report that 3 million tests have been conducted since April also uses figures from the health commission, that would suggest up to 1.2 million tests were administered on May 14 alone. But the health authority said late on Friday, without elaborating, that 72,791 tests had been conducted on May 14. That was up from 67,026 tests on May 13 and the second-highest total since it started publishing such data on Feb. 21. PREVENTING A REBOUND Recent outbreaks in the northeasterly Heilongjiang province and Jilin city have contributed to fears of other fresh outbreaks in China. On Friday, the mainland reported four new confirmed cases for May 14, the National Health Commission (NHC) said in a statement on Friday. All were locally transmitted. "The epidemic situation is now fragmented domestically, but the task of preventing a rebound of the epidemic remains arduous," Zeng Yixin, a vice minister at the NHC, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html tour du lịch quế lâm] told a news conference. "The epidemic situation abroad is still severe and complex, and the pressure to defend against the outside continues to increase," Zeng added, referring to cases of citizens returning from abroad infected with the virus. China has stopped foreigners entering as a precaution against imported infections. Zeng also said some COVID-19 vaccines were set to complete their second-phase clinical trials in July. Confirmed cases in mainland China stand at 82,933 and the death toll at 4,633. China does not include people who have been tested and found to be asymptomatic carriers in its tally, and does not publish a cumulative number of asymptomatic cases.
