# China’s soybean oil exports could reach a record 1.35 mln tons

> A USDA agricultural attaché report projects China's soybean oil exports could reach a record 1.35 million tons in 2026/27, driven by strong domestic crushing and weaker edible oil demand. China's edible oil imports are forecast to fall from 6.9 to 6.4 million tons, and its October soybean imports fell 38% from September to 7.35 million tons.

## Why it matters

Larger Chinese soybean oil exports add supply to global markets and increase competition with palm and sunflower oil. Lower Chinese soybean imports weigh on soybean demand and prices.
