# SunSirs: The Decrease in China Soybean Meal Inventory and the Increase in Demand in January Are Favorable Factors

> SunSirs estimates China's soybean crushing will fall to about 8 million tonnes in January as weekly crush drops to 1.75 million tonnes over the New Year holiday. Meal output is seen near 6.4 million tonnes, and domestic plant inventories are expected to fall to around 900,000 tonnes by month-end.

## Why it matters

Lower Chinese crush and falling plant meal stocks tighten domestic supply heading into the Spring Festival restocking period, supporting meal prices. Import demand from China for soybeans and meal could firm as the holiday passes.
