# China’s Tariff Policy Maintains Brazil’s Soybean Competitiveness Amid US-China Rapprochement

> China continues to apply a 3% tariff to Brazilian soybeans, compared with a 13% tariff on U.S. soybeans. The 10-percentage-point gap supports Brazil’s competitiveness in supplying China despite improving U.S.-China relations.

## Why it matters

The tariff advantage makes Brazilian soybeans relatively more attractive to Chinese buyers, supporting Brazil’s export demand while limiting the competitiveness of U.S. supplies. This is supportive for Brazilian soybean prices relative to U.S. beans.
