# AgroPages-Argentine oilseed industry closer to start selling soybean meal to China-Agricultural news

> A Chinese mission is inspecting Argentine soybean meal plants to approve exports to China. Argentina is the largest soymeal exporter with over 65 million tons of crushing capacity, and the industry expects record crushing this year. China is shifting soybean purchases toward Mercosur because of the US trade war and African swine fever.
