China imported 52.39 million tonnes of soybeans in the first eight months of the year, a record for the period, with nearly 90% coming from Brazil. Imported Brazilian beans have become much cheaper than domestic beans because the real has weakened about 40% this year while the yuan is relatively strong, and crushers are earning strong margins.
Sustained record Chinese buying supports Brazilian export demand and keeps global soybean and meal demand firm. The strong import margin also pressures Chinese domestic bean prices and encourages further import growth.
