China purchased just over 20 million tonnes of wheat, corn, barley and sorghum last year, that is well below the 60 million tonnes purchased in 2021-22.

The commission’s Safeguards for Grain Farmers Program uses the company’s security to pay eligible claims. Eligibility periods include 90 days from each grain delivery or 30 days from the date of a cash purchase ticket or cheque issuance. The lesser of the two periods applies.
