Rabobank says Chinese government moves to reduce soymeal inclusion in feed, cutting soymeal ratio from 15.3% in 2021 to a target of 12% by 2030, and raising domestic soybean output target to 23 Mt by 2025. The bank expects China's soybean import peak to be behind it.
Lower Chinese soymeal inclusion reduces long-run soybean import demand, bearish for soybeans and soymeal, while potentially opening more demand for canola meal and canola from Australia.
