# What's coming for the $45bn Chinese animal feed market?
						 | The Pig Site

> Chinese feed demand faces pressure from African swine fever, with soymeal usage expected to fall 4 percent and feed corn use 8 percent in 2019. New feed regulations aimed at eliminating antibiotics by 2020 and new 25 percent tariffs on US feed imports such as soybeans and sorghum add further strain.

## Why it matters

Lower Chinese feed use and tariffs on US feed ingredients reduce export demand for US soybeans, sorghum and corn, a bearish influence on those prices.
