Rice prices have already climbed more than 20% since India announced its ban on exports of non-basmati white rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China\u2019s corn imports are expected to climb to an all-time high of 23 million metric tons in 2023\/24, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), up from 18 million tons a year ago, which is likely to mitigate the impact of flooding on supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, ample domestic rice inventories are expected prevent China from buying larger volumes from the international market, analysts said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decline rice production in China\u2019s northeast is unlikely to result in larger imports as the country is largely self sufficient, said Rosa Wang, an analyst at Shanghai-based JC Intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Floods have damaged corn and rice crops in China\u2019s key northern grain-producing belt, traders and analysts said, with more rain in the forecast as another typhoon approaches, threatening to add to global food inflation pressures.
