Recently, the tense changes in the situation in Russia and Ukraine have attracted global attention. In the field of food, Russia and Ukraine are both big grain producers and grain exporters. The military conflict between the two has also caused global food prices to fluctuate violently. The global price of wheat and corn has jumped. Due to the influence of geopolitics, the market price of corn in my country has also been affected to a certain extent. Public data shows that the price of domestic corn futures rose in 4 of the 5 trading days last week, and the cumulative increase 2.7%, closing at 2,848 RMB/ton, again approaching the historical record of 2,930 RMB /ton set in January last year. At the same time, the international and domestic corn prices have been inverted. The international corn arrival duty-paid price is about 2,718 RMB/ton, and the domestic corresponding port corn price is about 2,850 RMB/ton. The advantage of imported corn prices is weakened.

In the past, March and April were the concentrated time points for farmers to sell their stockpiles of corn. However, affected by the current situation of the corn market and the strong intention of traders to reserve, the price of corn has continued to rise, so corn farmers are more reluctant to sell their inventory. It is understandable for farmers to store corn and wait for a higher price before selling it. However, corn is a crop with high moisture content. If it is not stored properly, it will easily affect the quality of corn, and even cause problems such as mildew and deterioration, thereby reducing the income of corn farmers. Sales revenue. Therefore, many farmers will dry the corn to quickly reduce the moisture content of the corn to below 14%, so as to ensure the quality and storage time of the corn.

It is understood that in the drying and processing of crops, air-energy heat pumps are favored by many farmers for their energy-saving, high-efficiency, green safety and other advantages. Taking Tongyi air source heat pump as an example, it can set the corresponding drying process curve according to the characteristics of corn, accurately control the temperature and humidity during the drying process, reduce the drying time and improve the drying quality. The equipment is fully automatic and intelligent, without the need for special guards, which greatly saves labor costs. As a clean energy equipment, the air-energy heat pump does not emit any pollutants during operation, and there are no safety hazards such as fire and explosion, which provides a safe and pollution-free environment for corn drying and processing.

The use of air source heat pump to dry corn can not only effectively avoid corn damage and prolong storage time, but also improve corn quality, help farmers to keep corn for sale at a high price period, and increase sales income and economic benefits. It is reported that Tongyi Air Energy, as one of the top ten drying brands in industry and agriculture, its multifunctional heat pump dryer is widely used in honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, wolfberry, etc. , Luo Han Guo and other Chinese medicinal materials drying; red dates, dried fruits, vegetables, peppers, betel nut, fungus and other agricultural and sideline products drying; squid, fish fillets, sea cucumbers, abalone and other seafood drying areas, widely praised.

The current tension between Russia and Ukraine has caused more uncertainty to international grain prices and international grain supply, and the sensitive nerves of the domestic grain market have also been touched. Professionals pointed out that, from a general point of view, the probability of corn rising in the market outlook is not high. From the perspective of supply and demand as a whole, there is not much of a gap. So on the whole, the price of corn at the bottom has increased, but the space at the top is basically visible.
