Authorities in East China’s Zhejiang province are probing dozens of people for misconduct related to grain purchase and sale, as graft busters across the country step up efforts to stamp out corruption among grain officials and state enterprise representatives.

Anti-graft agencies in the province have placed 27 people in the local agricultural system under investigation since the beginning of this year, eight of whom turned themselves in, according to an article (link in Chinese) released by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) and the National Supervisory Commission.
