China's imports of grain sorghum can be divided into two categories: grain sorghum for cultivation and other grain sorghum. According to the publisher's analysis, other grain sorghum is the main import species for China. In 2021, China imported other grain sorghum from four countries. The publisher'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. The publisher estimates that China's sorghum imports are expected to continue to grow from 2023-2032.

Methodology
Background research defines the range of products and industries, which proposes the key points of the research. Proper classification will help clients understand the industry and products in the report.
Secondhand material research is a necessary way to push the project into fast progress. The analyst always chooses the data source carefully. Most secondhand data they quote is sourced from an authority in a specific industry or public data source from governments, industrial associations, etc. For some new or niche fields, they also "double-check" data sources and logics before they show them to clients.
Primary research is the key to solve questions, which largely influence the research outputs. The analyst may use methods like mathematics, logical reasoning, scenario thinking, to confirm key data and make the data credible.
The data model is an important analysis method. Calculating through data models with different factors weights can guarantee the outputs objective.
The analyst optimizes the following methods and steps in executing research projects and also forms many special information gathering and processing methods.
1. Analyze the life cycle of the industry to understand the development phase and space.
2. Grasp the key indexes evaluating the market to position clients in the market and formulate development plans
3. Economic, political, social and cultural factors
4. Competitors like a mirror that reflects the overall market and also market differences.
