# The grain ETF with the lowest fee in its category, Huaxia (159030), surged over 5%, leading the market, while Qiule Seed Industry rose more than 25%

On August 18, the A-share tech sector pulled back, while previously lagging agricultural and grain sectors staged a strong catch-up rally. As of 11:12, the ChinaAMC Grain ETF (159030) surged 5.39% on heavy volume, leading all market ETFs. Among constituents, Qiule Seed Industry led gains with +27.89%, followed by Hualü Biology (+20.00%), Kangnong Seed Industry (+19.79%), Shennong Seed Industry (+17.92%), and Xuerun Biology (+13.30%). Capital inflows accelerated, with the ChinaAMC Grain ETF recording a net inflow of RMB 40 million.

Catalysts included a sharp rally in the A-share agri-sector on August 17, driven by JP Morgan's warning of a potential global food crisis next year, compounded by disruptions to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and strong El Niño risks. FAO data showed rising food price indices, while broken fertilizer supply chains pushed up costs. Multiple brokerages remain bullish on planting, seed industry, and tropical cash crop opportunities, though investors are advised to watch for risks.

The ChinaAMC Grain ETF (159030) covers leaders across seed industry, planting, fertilizers, and pesticides. It tracks an index with the highest exposure to fertilizers and agricultural planting among all market ETFs, benefiting from multiple tailwinds including national food security strategies, seed industry revitalization, state-supported pricing for abundant wheat harvests, and stabilizing grain prices.

From a valuation perspective, the CSI Grain Industry Index tracked by the ChinaAMC Grain ETF stands at a PE-TTM of 23.01x, in the 7.47th percentile over the past year—meaning its valuation is lower than 92.53% of the time over that period, sitting at historical lows. The ChinaAMC Agriculture ETF (516810) holds leaders in agri-chemicals, planting, and hog farming, capturing multiple resonant trends such as anti-involution measures, chemical cycles, seed security, and hog cycle reversals. Its current valuation is also at historical lows (Feeder A: 016077; Feeder C: 016078).
