A report from my Reuters colleagues: #Corn prices have risen in #China as wet weather has slowed harvest and record energy prices have increased drying and logistics costs. Dalian corn futures are up 9% in the past month, hitting their highest since June.

How wet has it really been in China for corn harvest?

The 30 day rainfall vs normal DOES NOT SHOW ABOVE AVERAGE RAIN WHERE THEY GROWN CORN!

The 90 day map shows that it was a bit wet in the southwestern areas and dry in the eastern areas. Doesn't look like that should have been a major factor for corn harvest.

With regards to very wet corn that needs alot of drying........yeah, I could see that after the growing season they had too that slowed down maturity and didn't leave much good drying weather in the field left after the growing season. https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/Precip_Monitoring/Figures/global/n.90day.figb.gif

I  may have posted this else where but farmers in France and other European countries were being asked to leave their corn crop and other grains in the field as long as possible to allow for weather to dry the crop, naturally, as much as possible

 High energy prices and shortages of energy was the reason for leaving the crop in the field. 

Maybe chinese farmers are also under pressure to leave the corn crop in the field, and then wet weather interfered with a later than usual corn harvest

Just a thought but some thing caused corn prices, in China, to increase, so my guess is as good as any, I suppose

CBOT #soybeans are on  mid-session on Wednesday, up about 2.5%. The most-active contract has reached the highest levels since Sept. 30, when U.S. ending stocks came in ~80 mbu above trade guesses. Soymeal and wheat are solidly up, corn and soyoil more modestly.

Nov. 17: CBOT December 2022 #corn futures tied their contract high of $5.58 per bushel from Nov. 2, but they are a few cents off the high as of late in the session.
