2, traders order a large number of Ukrainian corn? The market situation is →

From Futures Daily 2024.3.10

At present, the domestic corn period in stock prices are the overall rebound, suddenly the market has a large number of domestic traders to order Ukrainian corn news.

According to Reuters, European traders said Chinese importers bought large quantities of corn for animal feed from Ukraine on Monday. Some traders estimated the purchases at two to three batches of 60000 to 65000 tonnes each, for a total of 195000 tonnes. The cost plus freight of these corn is expected to be only $236/ton. At the same time, there are market sources that two weeks after the Spring Festival, relevant domestic agencies ordered at least 10 ships of Ukrainian corn, with delivery dates from March to May this year. According to a Reuters report on February 27, China had previously purchased 240000 to 600000 tons of Ukrainian corn.

 

Industry insiders told reporters that although the price of these Ukrainian corn to be imported has risen, it still has a better performance-to-price ratio compared with the domestic market price and is attracting many domestic buyers to actively purchase. In addition, the current international corn market futures prices are still hovering in the low range in recent years, mainly due to the abundant supply of major corn exporting countries such as Brazil and the United States.

 

In recent years, due to the shortage of domestic corn production in China, the number of imported corn and its substitutes has been increasing. For example, China imported about 28 million tons of corn in 2021, of which 70% of the imported corn came from the United States and 29% from Ukraine. Since the end of 2021, due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and other factors, China's corn imports from Ukraine have gradually declined, and the total import volume in 2022 is estimated to be only about 6 million tons. Before the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, our country was the main buyer of Ukrainian corn. Although Russia previously withdrew from the UN-brokered Black Sea grain agreement, Ukraine has opened its own temporary Black Sea corridor, which has so far worked well. Market participants believe that if a large number of Ukrainian corn flows into the domestic market in the future, it will definitely change the relationship between market supply and demand.

 

Yang Huasong, general manager of Henan Chengyi Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., told reporters that on January 7, 2023, a cargo ship coming from the port of Santos in Brazil docked at Mayong port in Guangdong Province. The ship was loaded with 68000 tons of Brazilian corn imported by COFCO group. This is the first time that China has imported Brazilian corn by bulk ship. Unexpectedly, by the end of 2023, my country's total corn imports from Brazil will be as high as 12.81 million tons. Due to the low cost of importing Brazilian corn in my country, feed companies in southern my country quickly reduced the amount of domestic corn purchased from the northern region, which accelerated the decline in domestic corn market prices to a certain extent. The global corn market has had a profound impact, and it has also caused major changes in the supply and demand pattern and price of the domestic corn market. Therefore, a large number of imported Ukrainian corn is a major event for the domestic corn market and the main body of the industrial chain.

 

According to data from the General Administration of Customs, my country's total corn imports in 2023 were about 27.2 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 13.6 percent. From the perspective of the main import source countries, the import source presents diversified characteristics, with Brazil in the first place, followed by the United States and Ukraine. In 2023, China imported 12.81 million tons of corn from Brazil, accounting for 47 per cent, the United States 26.3 per cent and Ukraine 20.4 per cent.

 

Chai Yinfeng, general manager of Heilongjiang Wudalianchi Yingfeng Grain Trading Co., Ltd., said that the news that domestic traders ordered a large number of Ukrainian corn has had a certain impact on domestic market sentiment. Although everyone believes that these imported corn will not suppress market prices in the short term, But still worried about the long-term price trend. The main reason is that since the second half of 2023, a large number of imported corn and its substitutes have changed the tight supply pattern in the domestic market, resulting in a sharp decline in corn prices.

 

"Wudalianchi City and its surrounding areas in Heilongjiang Province are basically gone. Even the whole Heilongjiang Province is almost sold. The market has entered the final stage of" food for land ". However, the demand for" food for land "by deep processing enterprises is still relatively strong, and it is estimated that there is still room for upward movement in the purchase price." Chai Yinfeng told Futures Daily that the current purchase price of local corn deep processing enterprises is about 0.88 yuan/kg. Since the purchase of tide grain can be directly used for processing, without going through procedures such as "soaking grain", a lot of costs can be saved. Therefore, the price of tide grain will be relatively strong in the later period.

 

Industry insiders believe that nowadays, my country's imports of corn from Ukraine seem to be smoother. In the future, if Ukrainian corn imports can maintain a good cost performance, then the number of Ukrainian corn imports in my country may increase significantly, and investors and traders need to continue to pay attention. In addition, as the global agricultural landscape changes and market competition intensifies, it is necessary to pay close attention to market dynamics, predict and adapt to market changes in order to better grasp opportunities and respond to challenges.

Zhao Xingpeng: Taifeng Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Machinery Committed to "Turning Waste into Feed" and "Turning Waste into Fertilizer"

 

"Crop straw, vegetable tail, potato dregs, dregs ...... discarded will pollute the environment, if through scientific processing and fermentation, you can become nutritious animal feed or organic fertilizer."Zhao Xingpeng, chairman of Taifeng agricultural and animal husbandry machinery factory (hereinafter referred to as "Taifeng agricultural and animal husbandry machinery") in Daiyue District of Tai'an City, said.

Invention patent turns waste into feeding

 

Zhao Xingpeng is the chief technician with outstanding contributions in Tai'an City, Shandong Province. He has successively invented "a crop straw and protein mulberry feed processing equipment", "an axial flow crusher", and "a fresh plant for monogastric animals." Feed silage equipment and methods "and other patented products. At the same time, Taifeng agricultural and animal husbandry machinery company successfully developed a full set of "semi-automatic fermentation feed production line" and "automatic fermentation feed production line.

Zhao Xingpeng said that the production of organic livestock products without resistance is an important measure to alleviate the food crisis and "replace grain with grass" by crushing and storing green and fresh materials such as crop straw, vegetable tail, protein mulberry, giant fungus grass, potato residue and sweet potato residue after fermentation.

 

For many years, the crushing of green and fresh materials has always been a difficult problem restricting the development of the industry. The crushing process is easy to form problems such as stuffy machine, no material and low efficiency, which seriously restricts the development of the industry. After hundreds of tests, Zhao Xingpeng and the scientific research team of Taifeng Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Machinery finally improved the arrangement and shape of the blades to successfully crush the materials while also allowing the thrust steps formed by the blades to be transmitted, crushed and re-transmitted, thus effectively solving the industry bottleneck problem of difficult wet material discharge. Now, Taifeng Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd. has developed an axial flow wet material crushing equipment, which has reached the international leading level in terms of linear speed, dynamic balance, noise and reducing rotational energy consumption.

Real knowledge comes from practice. As we all know, the good performance of mechanical equipment and technology is tested through practice. In recent years, Taifeng agricultural and animal husbandry machinery side to undertake major scientific research projects at the provincial level, while the national layout of "fermented feed" production. In 2015, he participated in the major research and development project "Research and Development of Green Whole Plant Corn Pulping, Fermentation and Pig Feeding Equipment" jointly developed by six units including Shandong Agricultural University and Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and successfully completed the acceptance in 2018. He also participated in the completion of the major agricultural project "Production and Industrial Application of Whole Plant Corn Silage for Pigs" in Shandong Province, and successfully passed the expert acceptance organized by Shandong Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau in 2019, winning the first prize of Shandong Animal Husbandry Association, in 2022, it was listed as the first-class promotion of priority technological achievements by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Shandong Province, and in October 2022, it was awarded the second prize of the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Harvest Award by the Ministry of Agriculture.......
 

It is Zhao Xingpeng's greatest wish to transform scientific research results into helpers for ordinary people to become rich. In recent years, the "fermented feed" project of Taifeng agricultural and animal husbandry machinery has blossomed all over the country: users in Changzhi, Shanxi Province have installed a "fully automatic fermented feed production line" to produce fermented cattle and sheep feed by blending potato and potato residue with crop straw. First of all, straw is crushed and dedusted by a crusher, and the material dragon is transported into the cache silo. The automatic output of the silo is measured by a belt scale and then quantitatively transported into the transmission dragon together with potato residue by a screw pump. Then it is lifted into a mixer for stirring. After the material is evenly stirred, it is weighed and briquetted. Finally, bagged and sealed for fermentation. Guangxi Dahua County adopts giant fungus grass fermentation for pig breeding. Giant fungus grass is chopped into a cache bin by a hay cutter, the concentrate enters another bin, and the two bins are automatically output into a belt metering scale for metering and transmission. At the same time, the bacteria liquid pump on the dragon is transmitted to quantitatively spray bacteria, and the materials are lifted into a pulverizer for crushing, then transferred into a quantitative packaging machine, and heat-sealed for fermentation after packaging. In addition, Linyi, Shandong, uses Chinese medicine residue combined with corn straw to ferment cattle and sheep feed. Guangdong Xinyi; guangxi Hechi Jinmu Grain Fermented Pig Feed; Guangdong Fengchun Pharmaceutical Protein Mulberry Fermented Feed for Pig Breeding; Fuling, Chongqing, uses protein mulberry fermentation for black pig breeding; Huade County, Inner Mongolia, uses potato residue combined with corn straw to ferment cattle and sheep feed.......

Why do you want to make "fermented feed"?Zhao Xingpeng pointed out that Taifeng Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Machinery, in cooperation with Professor Fu Daoling of Heze Agricultural Science Research Institute in Shandong Province, has scientifically formulated fermented feed strains.In addition, the most important thing is that there are many benefits for cattle, sheep and pigs to eat fermented feed: first, to enhance immunity. For example, ginger straw fermented feed has antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, enhance immunity. The fermented feed of broccoli tail leaves is rich in 28 proteins. Potato residue fermented feed can improve gastrointestinal flora of cattle and sheep, activate feed intake, etc. Second, fermented feed can effectively degrade crude fiber to increase crude protein content, change the molecular structure of the material, change macromolecules into small molecular peptides, and make it easier for animals to absorb. A large number of experiments have proved that aflatoxin, zearalenone toxin and vomitoxin can be effectively removed through fermentation. Third, animals eat fermented feed and basically do not use animal protection drugs during breeding, and the meat is better.

 

persistent industry enthusiastic public welfare

 

Food is the most important thing for the people, and food security is a major national strategy. Zhao Xingpeng said that the use of giant fungus grass, crop straw, tail vegetables, protein mulberry and Broussonetia papyrifera to produce fermented feed, "replacing grain with grass" and "replacing grain with trees" can reduce the use of grain in the feed industry. At the same time, the fermentation of kitchen waste and vegetable market waste into organic fertilizer can not only turn waste into treasure, but also realize the circular development of green ecological agriculture.

 

Let the machinery help the industry, let the equipment service industry. Zhao Xingpeng has been working hard all these years. He successively presided over the Taian City Industry-University-Research Cooperation Project "Research on Equipment and Technology for Efficient Treatment and Utilization of Kitchen Waste Solid-Liquid Classification" and the Taian City Industry-University-Research Cooperation Project "Research and Development of Vegetable Waste Recycling Equipment", and completed the appraisal in 2017 and entered the market for promotion. He has undertaken the support plan for grass-roots scientific and technological talents in the western uplift zone of Shandong Province, namely "Development of Fruit Tree" Mobile Light and Simple Composting "Integrated Equipment Development" and Technology "and Development" and Technology "and has passed.Zhao Xingpeng personally won the second prize of national agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery harvest, the second prize of scientific and technological progress of small and medium-sized enterprises in Shandong Province, the third prize of scientific and technological progress in Tai'an City, the technician with outstanding contribution in Tai'an City, and the honorary title of moral model for dedication and dedication in Daiyue District of Tai'an City.

In recent years, under the call of the national animal husbandry policy of "replacing grain with grass" and "replacing grain with trees", Taifeng Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Machinery Company has successfully developed 9FZ series multifunctional pulverizer, 9FX series straw pulverizer, 93RQ series straw kneading machine, 9LQD series green forage pulverizer, 93ZQS series axial flow pulverizer, straw crushing compression molding complete sets, etc.It has won the first prize of science and technology of Shandong Animal Husbandry Association, and the product of "green feed crushing and pulping machine" has been listed as the key promotion product of "grain reform and feeding" of the Ministry of agriculture.

The sea is flowing, and only then does a hero show his true colors. Zhao Xingpeng is not only committed to the development of fermented feed industry, but also does not forget to give back to the society and return to Sangzi. During the epidemic situation in 2020, a total of 24000 yuan was donated to Zhuyang Town, and welders who cannot go out to work were recruited for employment. In 2020, Hardened Village Road donated 10000 yuan and subsidized sanitation 5000 yuan. For more than 10 years in a row, 1000 yuan has been donated to the town's nursing home every year. Donate 10000 yuan to Tai 'an City's Hand-in-Hand Orphaned Children Assistance Center and 10000 yuan to Zhuyang Town Central Primary School. In the "Ten Thousand Villages" Ten Thousand Enterprises "Ten Thousand Villages, invest more than 200,000 yuan in the name of private enterprises....... Zhao Xingpeng said that if the development of enterprises is taken from the society, it is necessary to return to the society, and there is no end to public welfare undertakings.

There will be times when the wind will break the waves, and the clouds will go straight to the sea. for future development,Zhao Xingpeng is also full of confidence. On the one hand, he continues to cultivate the domestic market and contribute to the country's animal husbandry strategy; on the other hand, he gradually opens up the international market and pushes Chinese machinery overseas, demonstrating the ingenuity and technological charm of made in China!
