A Chinese agriculture ministry official said soybean acreage may only slightly increase in 2023 because farmers are less willing to plant soybeans given low prices. Compound planting with corn is expected to add about 333 hectares, and total acreage is seen stable or slightly higher than last year's jump.
Limited growth in Chinese soybean output means China will keep relying on imports, which supports world soybean demand and meal supply trends.
After 356 past bullish policy events, Soybeans moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -1.2% to +2.3%), and -0.9% over 20.
