# Soybean Meal Stabilizes and Improves, but the Livestock Industry Has Not Substantially Recovered

> The article says Chinese soybean meal prices have risen moderately as feed companies stock up and lower crushing rates reduce meal availability; it also cites soybean arrivals below the prior-year level as a possible source of temporary tightness. At the same time, it describes weak livestock demand and a broadly ample global soybean outlook, arguing that South American arrivals could renew pressure on meal prices.

## Why it matters

Near-term buying and reduced crush can tighten soybean meal availability and support prices, while weak animal-feed demand and upcoming South American supplies limit the upside. The article also contains historical 2014 livestock statistics, but its current-market claims focus on the stated 2026 context.
