Why China’s Economy Doesn’t Want American Corn Anymore | WSJ U.S. vs. China

I like the bit where the expert explains that a decrease in demand for corn could lead to fewer corn famers. That's the sort of insight we bring these guys on for.

On one hand, you sanction your customer, poke him in the eye, gather your friends to go against him and then you expect him to continue to buy from you? That's not just being naive, it's also plain arrogance.

It's cool when we become self reliant...but we call foul when others do the same 😅

[China] "We will no longer import US corn...We will just buy their farm land for ourselves!"

US is the one who wants to decouple with China, Americans should be thrilled that China is not buying their corn anymore. American farmers should be very happy instead.

in the long terms, china would import Corn from both US and Brazil, but in the current time, china doesn't want american corn anymore is just playing the de-risking game like the US did to China

We in Ireland cannot grow maize corn, wheat or soya bean because the summers are too cold and wet. We can grow a little lower quality for animal feed. We can grow oats and barley very well for malting and breakfast cereal. We import these for animal feed such as an addition for beef of milk production. Our grass is top quality. I don't like the GM label on corn I buy but I have no choice but to buy it for my beef herd.

Monsanto has ruined corn and other crops by genetically modifying the seeds, where the end product isn't fit for human consumption.

As a BRICS member it is only Reasonable importing from Brazil. They dont even have to use the $ for transaction. Win win

Who wants to buy from seller who treats you as an enemy?

Thanks for posting.

Other countries will be more than happy to plant and supply China.

China buying corn from a friendly country using the Yuan as currency is a win win for China and Brazil.

U.S. farmers don't have margins. They have debt...to companies like John Deere.

If it serves as a consolation, farmers in Brazil are planning to switch to sesame or sorghum next year. The price received was 2 dollars bellow the production cost as there is not enough storage space. The first crop did help with the overall profit though but people are not very happy about it. Not sure about how will that gone with China as we also need to send a message of being a reliable supplier. And the end of the Ukraine grain deal will also raise prices. But people are not thrilled about planting corn in Brazil.

4:13 sorry but 'Doubled down' is a bit of a non phrase. I've heard it being used to mean playing something down and the exact opposite in different sources. So which one is it?

As a Brazilian guy let me explain to you what´s happening. Brazil has a large and diversified source of fertilizers, so there is not dependence on Russian or other country on that matter. Corn crops require almost nothing of labour force, hence the low minimum wage do not explain its competitiveness. What explain the Brazilian competitiveness is climate factors(two harvests a year), long tradition on commodity, improvement in infrastructure, high value of Dollar compared to the Real(Brazilian currency) and subsidies from Goverment to buy brand new equipments and machinery. On top of that, China and US have been brewing a Cold War and others parts of the world will reap the benefits of it. As simple as that.

That's why it's important to have govt that works for the people.

time mark 6:44 ?? Is this correct? "Using cornbread to maximize growth"

Most that "corn" shown early in this piece with green husks and sorted by hand on the cob is sweet corn edible for humans. Field corn is harvested when the kernels have dried some and the husk is brown, Field corn has not been harvested on the cob for decades. Field corn is shelled in the combine.
