China: Reduction in the number of soybean imports due to low price of pork in the current season

Tridge summary

China's soybean imports are being restrained by the significant drop in pork prices over the past six months, leading to decreased consumption of soybean meal. The Chinese government is contemplating reducing pork production to prop up prices. Despite these challenges, China is set to produce over 15 million tons of soybeans, a 2.5 million ton decrease from the previous year. However, imports are expected to surpass 100 million tons, an increase of 2 million tons from last year.

Soybean prices in China are anticipated to remain high due to logistical constraints.
