Data released by the General Administration of Customs on the 8th shows that soybean imports in May this year reached 6.13 million tonnes, 15.4% higher than in April and 2.7% higher than in the same period last year. Soybean imports in June are estimated to possibly reach as high as 8.5 million tonnes, a level close to the historical record. The reason for the import growth is that South American soybean production hit a record this year, and soybeans previously contracted for import are arriving one after another.</p> <p> Because large volumes of imported soybeans arrived in May, and the market expects soybean imports in June to hit a historic high, this has already pushed domestic soybean meal prices down to a new low in 8 years. Lower hog inventories have also hurt soybean meal demand. Analysts pointed out that soybean meal demand this year is worse than last year, and weak soybean meal prices have already led to losses in crushing in Guangdong and Guangxi. In Guangdong, spot soybean meal prices fell to 2,460 yuan per tonne, and some small traders who had previously signed contracts to buy soybean meal at 2,700 to 3,000 yuan per tonne defaulted.</p> <p> </p>
