Higher tariffs could lead China to retain its leading position as a soybean importer, but U.S. soybean export premiums have reached a 14-month high due to the rush to ship a record U.S. crop and trade tension concerns. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has confirmed private sales of soybeans to China and other countries for the 2024/25 marketing year. Additionally, corn futures have risen due to export sales, and concerns about Russian grain export regulations have led to wheat futures increasing. Kazakhstan aims to export 12 million tonnes of its grain crop, and Bangladesh has issued a tender for 50,000 tonnes of milling wheat. Canola futures have seen mixed results, with concerns about a potential decrease in Canada's canola crop and the possibility of increased Chinese buying despite upcoming sanctions.
