China’s National Development and Reform Commission last week approved plans to buy an additional 20 million tonnes of corn for state stockpiles, much more than traders had expected, an industry source familiar with the results of the meeting said on Monday. Chinese demand and fears about Argentine crops also supported corn but to a far lesser extent as abundant supplies continued to weigh on both corn and wheat, said Kazuhiko Saito, a strategist at Interes Capital Management Co in Tokyo. News that Saudi Arabia expected to import up to 800,000 tonnes of milling wheat in the year to September, 2009, as it seeks to build up stocks was not enough to keep prices in the positive zone. Syria’s state grains purchasing agency has rejected all bids and made no purchase in an international tender to buy 200,000 tonnes of optional-origin soft wheat because prices were too high, European traders said on Monday.
