Sorghum is one of the common crops that can be used as feed, as well as for brewing, alcohol production, and other uses. China imports large amounts of sorghum each year because of the low price of imported sorghum.

In 2021, China imported 9.416 million tons of grain sorghum, up 95.6% year-on-year, and US$3.03 billion, up 162.1% year-on-year. in the first three quarters of 2022, China imported 8.928 million tons of grain sorghum, up 21.4% year-on-year, and US$3.30 billion, up 41.5% year-on-year.

In 2018-2022, the average price of grain sorghum imports in China showed an overall upward trend. In 2018-2020, the average price of grain sorghum imports stabilized in the price range of US$230-240 per ton. In 2021, the average price of grain sorghum imports in China rose to US$321.7 per ton, an increase of 33.9% y-o-y. The average price of imported grain sorghum in the first three quarters of 2022 was US$369.5 per ton, an increase of 16.5% year-on-year.

China’s imports of grain sorghum can be divided into two categories:  grain sorghum for cultivation and other grain sorghum. According to CRI’s analysis, other grain sorghum is the main import species for China. In 2021, China imported other grain sorghum from four countries. CRI’s analysis shows that the U.S., Argentina, and Australia are the main sources of China’s grain sorghum imports by import volume.

Among them, the United States is China’s largest source of grain sorghum imports. In 2021, China imported 6.547 million tons of grain sorghum of U.S., accounting for 69.5% of total imports that year, and US$2.12 billion, accounting for 70.1% of total imports that year.

In recent years, China’s sorghum processing industry has grown rapidly, with grain sorghum being widely used as a feedstock, brewing and biofuel ingredient. China’s domestic grain sorghum production is unable to meet domestic demand and its dependence on grain sorghum imports is high, making China the world’s top importer of sorghum. CRI estimates that China’s sorghum imports are expected to continue to grow from 2023-2032.
