丰收变灾难！美国豆农哭诉 3 大困境，中国不买后大豆全烂田？

Group 1 - The core issue facing American soybean farmers is the significant loss of orders from China, with the American Soybean Association estimating a loss of 14 to 16 million tons, which is nearly two-thirds of the annual export volume to China [3] - The financial strain on farmers is exacerbated by rising production costs, with fertilizer prices increasing by 45% and fuel costs for agricultural machinery rising by 60%, while soybean prices have dropped nearly 30% compared to three years ago [3] - The trade war initiated during the Trump administration has led to a loss of price competitiveness for American soybeans in the Chinese market, resulting in China turning to Brazil for imports, with 12 million tons of new season soybeans shipped from Brazil to China in the first quarter of 2025 [3][4] Group 2 - The trade protection measures intended to benefit American farmers have instead resulted in significant financial burdens for them, as the tariffs have not impacted other countries but have hurt American soybean farmers [4] - The negative effects of the trade war are spreading beyond soybeans, with exports of corn and wheat to China also declining, leading many farmers to consider abandoning farming altogether [5] - The situation highlights the importance of cooperation in trade, as the current crisis demonstrates that protectionist measures do not necessarily protect domestic interests [5]
