Potential Wheat Demand in China: Applicants for Import Quota

No 313487, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: This report examines lists of applicants for wheat tariff-rate quota (TRQ) for the years 2015 to 2021 to characterize the potential demand for imported wheat in China. More than 900 companies in China applied for quota from 2015 to 2021, and 171 applied 7 years in a row. Although most applicants are private companies in major flour-producing provinces, they account for few wheat imports; customs data indicate that Beijing-based companies—comprising fewer than 2 percent of TRQ applicants each year—are the predominant wheat importers. When China’s wheat imports doubled in 2020, Beijing-based companies accounted for 85 percent of the imports.
