China imported a record amount of soybeans in June, driven by strong shipments from Brazil and the clearing of delayed cargoes at its ports. Reuters said customs data show China, the world's largest soybean importer, brought in 13.55 million metric tons during June, up more than ten percent from a year earlier and nearly 15 percent above May's total. Imports for the first six months of the year reached 50.15 million metric tons, slightly ahead of last year's pace. A Chinese agricultural researcher says soybean arrivals are expected to remain above ten million metric tons per month through August, with full-year imports potentially matching or exceeding last year's record. She says key factors to watch include U.S.-China trade relations, Brazilian exports, and livestock demand in China. Meanwhile, U.S. soybean exports to China have resumed, with China importing 8.38 million metric tons from the United States during the first five months of 2026.
