The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) attaché in Beijing reported that China is expected to import 98.5 million tons of soybeans in 2023/24, 2.5 million tons less than forecast for 2022/23. According to the USDA, the increase in domestic production and greater imports in 2022/23 should result in lower purchases in the harvest that officially started this month.
