Soybean stocks at Chinese ports hit a record 10.3 million tons on Nov. 7, up 3.6 million tons from a year earlier, while crushers held 7.5 million tons, the most since 2017.
Physical soymeal prices in key coastal regions have fallen more than 20% from an April peak to around 3,000 yuan per ton.
A large port overhang and weak soymeal prices reduce Chinese import urgency, pressuring US soybean export prospects and soymeal values.
