# Grain Market Review: Oilseeds-2019

> A South African market review says U.S. soybean sales to China resumed, supporting oilseeds, while a Canada-China dispute threatens rapeseed flows. It also notes Chinese meal demand is falling as African swine fever hits the hog herd, and that soymeal and soyoil prices have fallen toward 10-year lows.

## Why it matters

Weaker Chinese meal demand from African swine fever pressures soybean meal and oil prices, while the resumed US sales offer only partial support. The article's data largely reflects earlier months, so the net price signal is mixed to bearish.
