7月8日, 美国彭博社的一份报告说，中国增加了进口美国小麦和美国小麦未来价格上涨, 大豆和玉米期货的价格也是如此.

美国农业部表示，美国已出口总额 840,000 到5月底，直到7月3日，到中国有大量柔软的红色冬小麦, 发货金额已达到 360,000 吨; 6月1日至27日之间的总销售额和发货金额已达到 1,830,000 吨 5 往年的时间. 格雷格成长, director of Agriculture Department of American Archer Financial Service Inc said in a telephone interview that American wheat is more competitive in China as its price is almost the lowest in this quarter.

On the morning of 8th, the wheat delivery price of September at Chicago Stock Exchange rose by 0.6% to USD 6.6425/bushel. Before that, wheat future price once fell to USD 6.5225 on July 2nd, which is the lowest since 2012 June.

Shanghai JC Intelligence Co. Ltd said that within the import quota for Chinese agricultural products, American wheat price is 2100 yuan/ton while the domestic wheat price is 2400 yuan/ton. Besides, the quality of local agricultural products cannot be ensured and therefore it is hard for them to compete with imported products.

In the view of Greg Grow, in the past three days there was heavy rain from Arkansas to Ohio. People are worried that the crops may have been harmed and farmers may reduce the plantation area of soybean and this may lead to the price increase of wheat and soybean. Now it’s too late for crop rotation and the delay of wheat harvest has affected the plantation of soybean. The delivery price of soybean future for November rises by 0.7%, 到 12.3725 USD/bushel; and the corn’s future price for December also rises by 1.4%, 到 4.9825 USD/bushel.
