At present, corn in northeast China enters into the key growth period. A number of good days recently is very helpful for remedying the damage to corn growth caused by the previous rainy days. Temperature in Hebei and Henan Provinces is suitable for corn growth and the yield per unit and total yield in these two provinces are estimated to level those of last year.

At present, corn in China has entered into filling and milk-ripe stages; climate in most producing areas is suitable for corn growth. From the growth observations and analyses issued by some market organizations, although corn in some areas in northeast China suffered from flood, yet the corn growth condition in whole northeast basically equals that of common years and the growth conditions in some areas is better than that of last year; the total yield expectation is much optimistic. If no adverse weathers like early frost or snowfall happen, corn yields in Jilin and Heilongjiang Provinces are estimated to increase to a certain degree; corn yields in Liaoning and Inner Mongolia are estimated to level with that of last year or reduce slightly. Right now, drought hits some areas in Henan and Shandong Provinces; however, corn conditions in summer seeding areas of Shaanxi and Hebei Provinces are good and farmers in some of these areas are strengthening farm management under the guidance of agricultural departments.
