China played Trump and American farmers on their soybean purchase promises
https://www.brownfieldagnews.com/news/ag-economist-says-its-unlikely-china-will-buy-12-million-tons-of-u-s-soybeans-in-2025/“You can get shiploads of anywhere from 60 to 80,000 tons through the Panama Canal,” he says. “It would take 150 to 200 ship loads, depending on how large the vessel is that goes through the Panama Canal to hit 12 million tons.”
Recently released data from the USDA shows only two new export sales since last month’s meeting in South Korea. As of Tuesday, China has purchased just over a million tons of U.S. soybeans in the current marketing year.
