Wheat harvest in Suqian, Jiangsu province: 2024 is set to be a good year for Chinese wheat farming. Analysts predict significantly better harvests for farmers than in the previous year, as Chinese meteorologists have predicted good conditions for the winter-growing regions of Jianghui and Jiangnan. Due to repeated snowfall in January and February, the soil is sufficiently moist for the wheat plants to survive the winter largely unscathed. The cancellation of a total of 500,000 tons of wheat imports from the USA in March was a sign that the Chinese authorities are expecting a good harvest.
