Published 2026-10-01T04:03:15.899Z / YouTube HZh8vdYaDFI

U.S. soybeans remain outside China's proposed farm tariff relief and still face an additional 10% tariff.

What happened

U.S. soybeans remain outside China's proposed farm tariff relief and still face an additional 10% tariff.

Why it matters

State firms have bought around 13.7 million tonnes. Private crushers still face losses of about 120 to 200 yuan per tonne on U.S. cargoes, while inventories stand at 7.96 million tonnes, a 15-year high.

What to watch

Watch next: soybean crush margins, inventory drawdowns, and whether private buyers resume U.S. cargo bookings.
