MILLET MAIZE ETHANOL #ChinaMarket

China’s maize market is set to remain resilient through 2028, underpinned by strong domestic demand and strategic agricultural planning. Market participants focusing on innovation, efficiency, and sustainability are likely to gain a competitive edge in the evolving landscape.

Market analysts note that persistently high stock levels could weigh on rapeseed meal prices in the near term, potentially encouraging downstream buyers to step up procurement.

China remains the largest consumer and producer, accounting for roughly 44% of regional consumption and output. India is the leading exporter, supplying more than three-quarters of the region’s maize starch exports. Malaysia and Indonesia are the top importers, contributing to a rebound in import volumes in 2024 after several years of decline.
