Oil World data show China's February 2017 oilseed imports rose, with soybeans at 5.54 mln tons, mostly from the US, and no Argentine deliveries. China's soybean meal exports fell to 38,000 tons, well below last year's 102,000 tons.
Record Chinese oilseed imports support US soybean demand, while weak Chinese meal exports leave more meal available for other markets.
