# China Takes 1.59 Million Tonnes of US Soybeans in Export Surge

> China received 1.59 million tonnes of US soybeans in the week ended October 29, nearly 63% of total US soybean exports for that week, according to USDA data. Total US soybean exports reached 2.53 million tonnes, the highest weekly volume of the 2026/27 marketing year; some reported Chinese sales reflected destination changes from unknown buyers rather than newly created demand.

## Why it matters

Large shipments to China indicate strong near-term export movement and support US soybean demand. The destination switches mean the headline shipment figure should not be treated as an equivalent increase in new sales.
