China imported no soybeans from the U.S. in September,
the first time since November 2018
that shipments fell to zero, while South American shipments surged from a year earlier, as buyers shunned American cargoes during the ongoing trade dispute between the world's two largest economies.
Imports last month from the U.S. fell to zero from 1.7 million metric tons a year earlier, data from China's General Administration of Customs showed on Monday.
Shipments fell because of the high tariffs China has imposed on U.S. imports and as previously harvested U.S. supplies, known as old-crop beans, have already been traded. China is the world's biggest soybean importer.
"This is mainly due to tariffs. In a typical year, some old-crop beans would still enter the market," said Wan Chengzhi, an analyst at Capital Jingdu Futures.
Brazil arrivals last month jumped 29.9% year-on-year to 10.96 million tons, accounting for 85.2% of China's total imports of the oilseed, customs data showed,
while shipments from Argentina rose 91.5% to 1.17 million tons
, or 9% of the total.
China's soybean imports reached 12.87 million metric tons in September, the second-highest level on record.
China has not purchased any U.S. soybean cargoes from this autumn's harvest. The window for U.S. soybean purchases is rapidly closing as buyers secure shipments through November, largely from Brazil and Argentina, helped by Argentina's brief tax holiday.
Without a breakthrough in trade talks, U.S. farmers could face billions in losses as Chinese crushers continue sourcing from South America. Beijing, however, may also face a potential supply crunch early next year before Brazil's new crops hit the market.
For the January-September period, China imported 63.7 million tons from Brazil, up 2.4% year-on-year, and
2.9 million tons from Argentina, up 31.8% year-on-year
.
Key takeaways:

  • Who was president in November 2018, the last time China imported no soybeans from the US? Can anyone refresh my memory? πŸ€”
  • China imported a near-record number of soybeans last month and American farmers did not benefit from it whatsoever.
  • Trump's "Argentina First" policy seems to be going swimmingly. It seems that he is well on his way to making Argentina great again!

I know plenty of the world. Nearly every country in the EU and several in Asia far exceed the US by almost any metric you wish to use. Happiness, health, longevity, education, cost of living, etc. Making America great again would entail implementing the policies outlined by FDR in his final state of the union address and instituted in much of Europe shortly after WWII.
The UK, of course, is not a part of the EU and only barely ranks above the US in the World Happiness Report

I'm glad you can laugh
And here I thought it was the Third World War and everything is collapsing around you over there.
Nope, just another privilege tantrum.
Go and see the world and then be thankful to whatever deity you believe in that you were born where you were
I'll go back to just being in this world, thankful for my place in it (Which isn't between your ears!)

Antifa?!?!
Once the market is back in order prices will go back to what they should be. Relax, this helps out both Argentina and the US.
Perhaps relying on other countries for what you eat is the first sign that American should be for Americans first, and others later.
