Corn prices in Northeast China were largely on a downward trend last week, with overall market trading activity remaining sluggish. Due to quality issues with some corn batches, traders were actively offering supplies, though transaction volumes remained moderate. Both deep-processing plants and feed mills showed generally tepid purchasing interest. With limited time remaining to digest old-crop stocks before new-crop corn hits the market, supply in the Northeast currently appears relatively ample. In the short term, a notable market improvement seems unlikely.
