The more disturbing news is that the purchasing and storage price of corns has a historic change. On September 18, the National Development and Reform Commission, Food Bureau, Ministry of Finance, Agricultural Development Bank and other departments jointly issued a notice: The listed purchasing price of the national temporary storage corns is set to 1 yuan/jin (a unit of weight), which is 0.13 yuan lower than the temporary storage price in the last year. And, this is also the first drop of the temporary storage price since the national policy of temporary storage of corns which was released in 2008.
