China is allowing imports of cheaper Argentine soybean meal, a policy Maybank Kim Eng says will weigh on Wilmar's domestic crushing business. Wholesale pork prices in China have risen 57% since June amid African swine fever, and soybean crush margins have turned negative.
The first Argentine soymeal is estimated to arrive by Q1 2020.
Cheaper Argentine meal substitutes for US and domestic meal, pressuring soybean meal prices, while buyers may shift to palm oil, supporting palm and reducing soybean oil supply.
