Core Viewpoint - The U.S. agricultural sector, particularly soybean farmers, is facing a severe crisis due to the lack of orders from China, which has historically been the largest buyer of U.S. soybeans [1][3]. Group 1: Industry Impact - The U.S. soybean harvest season is underway, but there are currently no soybean sales registered for China, which typically accounts for about 25% of U.S. soybean production [3]. - Normally, 8% to 9% of U.S. soybeans should have been sold to China by this time, but the current figure is zero, raising significant concerns about the stability of the U.S. agricultural sector [3]. - Prior to 2018, an average of 28% of U.S. soybeans were exported to China, representing 60% of total U.S. soybean exports during that period [3]. Group 2: Economic Implications - The lack of agreements on soybean exports to China is causing increasing financial pressure on U.S. soybean farmers as the harvest season approaches [3]. - In the 2023-2024 marketing year, the U.S. is expected to export nearly 25 million tons of soybeans to China, significantly more than the 4.9 million tons exported to the European Union, highlighting China's critical role in the U.S. soybean market [3].
