DALIAN. Prices for the new crop continue to fluctuate strongly depending on the supplier. Especially buyers from overseas are hesitating at the moment and prefer to wait; however, this tactic could backfire.

Official harvest start announced

There is still so much left of the old crop that a large quantity has to be taken into the new season as carry-over stocks. The harvest start has now been officially set for 20 August and market players are expecting an opening price of CNY 18.5/kg. This seems a reasonable price considering that the cost of production for growers is CNY 15/kg.
