Power outages in China have forced at least half of soybean crushing plants in northern and northeastern China to shut, pushing soymeal prices in Tianjin up 220 yuan to 3,800 yuan per tonne. Hog farmers already face low pork prices and now higher feed costs as the power crunch disrupts ingredient production.
Crusher shutdowns cut domestic soymeal supply and raise feed costs in China, which tightens meal availability and supports soybean meal prices while adding to livestock margin stress.
