# Grain and Soya trade facing limitations

> The article says global seaborne dry bulk trade is likely to grow more strongly in 2026 than in 2025, though the outlook depends partly on whether the Middle East conflict is resolved. Global trade in soybeans and meal is projected to increase by about 4 million tonnes to 274.7 million tonnes in the 2026/27 year, with growth slowing to under 2%; further growth in China’s imports is a key support.

## Why it matters

Expected growth in China’s imports could support demand for soybeans and soybean meal, but the slower projected trade expansion limits the bullish signal. Uncertainty over the conflict also clouds the outlook for shipping and trade flows.
