China introduces Import Permits for Barley, Cassava, Sorghum, DDGS

Posted on : 14 Oct, 2015

 

China’s barley, cassava, sorghum, DDGS imports have risen in July 2015 as per the General Administration of Customs data. The country imported a 1.1 million tonnes of DDGS, a by-product of corn-based ethanol, that marked a rise of 67% on the year. The previous record was 959,935 tonnes in June. Most of the DDGS came from the US. Meanwhile China’s barley imports also increased 68% on the year to 1.28 million tonnes. Similarly sorghum imports jumped 183% on the year to 1.11 million tonnes while corn increased tenfold to 1.11 million tonnes.

 

The high imports record is the result of cheap overseas grains prices as compared to the expensive domestic grains.

 

Since there were no quota restrictions, domestic players imported in high numbers. To curb this, the Chinese government authorities intervened with restrictions. With effect from September 1, 2015, importers of barley, cassava, distillers' grains (DDGS) and sorghum in China have to register details of their purchases under a new system before they make the purchase.

 

The restrictions are expected to slow down shipments to China – the world’s top buyer.

 

Last year China introduced a similar system for sugar imports.

 

China’s grains stockpile is increasing. In fact it’s said that the Beijing's stockpile system has led to almost 50% increase in domestic corn prices as compared to global prices.

 

A drop of 30 percent is expected in China's corn and corn substitute imports to 20 million tonnes in 2015/16 from its 30 million tonnes imports in the current marketing year.

 

5th StarchWorld Asia on 26-27 January, 2016 in Bangkok, Thailand will discuss China’s imports and exports in greater details.
