# China’s Soybean Market Diverges: Domestic Beans Strong, Crushing Demand Weak

> China’s food-grade domestic soybeans remain firm because supplies of high-protein beans are limited and farmers are reluctant to sell, while imported crushing beans trade steadily amid ample port stocks. Weak feed demand has weighed on soybean meal prices and squeezed crusher margins, limiting the prospect of a broad-based market rally.

## Why it matters

Firm domestic food-bean supply conditions support prices in that segment, but ample imported stocks and weak crushing demand cap soybean and meal buying. This points to divergent pricing rather than a generalized rise in the soybean complex.
