China's commerce ministry said it will expand US farm purchases only if the two sides implement their $30 billion-for-$30 billion reciprocal tariff-cut arrangement. China is on track for its soybean target but bought only $7.2 billion of other US farm goods between January and September.
Conditional Chinese buying leaves non-soy US farm exports such as corn and meat dependent on a tariff deal, limiting near-term demand upside. Soybean demand is steadier because the purchase target is on track.
