30% of my country’s imported corn comes from Ukraine, and the situation in Russia and Ukraine may cause prices to rise jqknews

Securities Times Network News, according to CCTV Finance on February 24, the escalation of the situation in Russia and Ukraine has begun to have an impact on the international agricultural trade pattern. Ukraine is one of the main source countries of my country’s corn imports. According to customs data, in 2021, my country will import 8.24 million tons of corn from Ukraine, accounting for 29.07%. It is understood that my country’s imported corn is mainly used for feed processing. The corn imported from Ukraine mainly departs from the port of Kiev and is transported by sea to various ports in eastern and southern my country. Importers told reporters that they are more worried about price changes than shipping schedules. Recently, the import price of corn has continued to rise. From 1,900 yuan per ton at the end of last year, it has risen to the current 2,600 yuan per ton. Expert analysis believes that once the conflict intensifies, it will continue to push up the price of corn imports in the short term.
