China Imports No U.S. Soybeans for Third Month; Argentine Arrivals Up 634%

Key Details
U.S. soybean imports fell to zero in November from 2.79 million metric tons a year earlier, data from China’s General Administration of Customs showed on Saturday.

Arrivals from Brazil jumped 48.5% year-on-year to 5.85 million tons, accounting for 72% of total imports, while shipments from Argentina rose 633.6% to 1.78 million tons, or 21.9% of the total.

The world’s top soybean buyer imported 8.11 million metric tons in November and 103.79 million tons in the first 11 months, putting full-year arrivals on track for a record amid strong purchases from South America and a trade truce with Washington.

more corporate control of American farmland. If family farmers become bankrupt, their land can be sold a discout prices.

The market has shifted away from American farmers, and even the Trump farm bailout isn't going to save a lot of them from bankruptcy.
Corporations will buy up a lot of that land at cents on the dollar.
