Las importaciones de soja de EE. UU. en China en enero y febrero disminuyeron significativamente, mientras que las importaciones de soja de Brasil y Argentina se dispararon.

China imported 1.49 million tons of soybeans from the United States in January and February, a decrease of 83.7% compared to 9.13 million tons in the same period last year. Since late October last year, buyers have purchased approximately 12 million tons of U.S. soybeans. Imports of soybeans from Brazil in January and February totaled 6.56 million tons, an increase of 82.7% year-on-year, as private buyers avoided high-tariff U.S. soybeans. Imports of soybeans from Argentina surged to 3.27 million tons in January and February, compared to 111,600 tons in the same period last year. Shanghai Huiyi Consulting analyst said that Argentina’s suspension of export taxes in September led to a surge in China’s soybean purchases, with goods gradually arriving at ports over the past few months and boosting import volumes.
