BEIJING (Dow Jones)--China's wheat prices in major producing areas were slightly higher in the week to Monday as flour demand picked up ahead of holidays in October. Wheat prices in Hefei in Anhui province were CNY1,820-CNY1,830 a metric ton, up CNY10/ton from a week earlier. Wheat prices in Dezhou in Shandong province were also CNY10/ton higher at CNY1,890-CNY1,900/ton. Flour demand improved as the weather gets cooler and preparations began for the National Day holiday and Mid-Autumn Festival in early October, said analysts. Meanwhile, farmers have been reluctant to sell their crops unless they need money urgently, as they expect prices to rise, said Hai Yang, an analyst with Zhengzhou Esunny Information & Technology Co. Farmers in most major wheat producing areas have kept more than 60% of their harvest this year, more than they retained last year, according to data from China Zhengzhou Grain Wholesales Market, which said in a note that it expects new wheat prices to fall later due to ample supply. Last week, the government sold 166,410 tons of wheat it bought under the minimum purchase prices program, or 11% of the 1.5 million tons it planned to sell. -Zheng Xiaolu contributed to this story, Dow Jones Newswires; 8610 6588-5848; tracy.zheng@dowjones.com
