每经编辑｜段炼 美国大豆协会称，自5月以来，中国就不再购买美国大豆了。随着美国大豆进入收获季节，因大豆滞销而面临巨额损失的豆农心急如焚…… 美国媒体报道称，虽然今年农业产量创纪录，但农民可能无处出售农产品，"农民对特朗普（政府）的忠诚即将接受考验"。英国《金融时报》报道也说， 美国今年大豆满仓、但价格下跌，农民难以维持生计。"美国头号出口农产品的海外销售量骤降，给美农造成'毁灭性'打击。" 美国豆农：受关税战反噬 美农村正承受巨大痛苦 眼下，美国大豆已经进入收获季，美国豆农坦言，受关税战的反噬，目前美国农村正陷入巨大困境。 美国农场主 克里斯·古尔德：目前美国农村正承受着巨大痛苦。中国一直是我们大豆的头号买家，我们很大一部分大豆都销往了中国。然而，当我们（美 国）开始扰乱国际贸易后，中国就开始寻找其他供应来源了。 大豆对于美国农业及农产品出口至关重要。根据美国农业部的数据，2024年大豆以245.8亿美元的出口额位居美国农产品出口首位，占农产品出口总额的 14%。 中国此前是美国大豆的最大买家，2024年购买了价值126.4亿美元的大豆，占美国大豆出口总额一半以上。美媒称，自2025年5月起，中国再也没有从美 ...

中国不仅没有购买美国大豆，反手从阿根廷进口了130万吨的大豆。 美国却因为迟迟等不到中国的订单，特朗普只能火急火燎另寻出路，一边给豆农发"补贴"安抚民心，一边全球寻找美国大豆新买家。 然而特朗普的计划却遇到了一个坏消息，不仅补贴止不住"血"，就连自己的"小弟"印度都不愿意买单，这次大豆真要砸手里了！ 特朗普这个人总是自信满满的觉得一切尽在掌握之中，所以大搞关税战，对中国进行施压，是觉得最终中国会低头。 所以当国内豆农第一次喊话特朗普，表示中国没有像往常一样购入大豆的时候，特朗普不以为意，甚至还在采访中夸夸其谈，称全世界都该买美国的农产 品。 然而随着时间的流逝，美国豆农发现手里依旧没有一个来自中国的订单，显然因为美国的关税操作，中国选择另外寻找新的大豆供应商。 但这可苦了美国的豆农，要知道美国有超过三分之二的出口大豆都是中国收购的，一旦失去了中国市场，美国豆农将会面临大豆积压、农场破产的风险。 美国的农业是美国经济的压舱石，虽然大家只对美国高科技产业更熟悉，但是只有农业才是最稳定的来钱方式。 于是美国豆农几次喊话特朗普，上个月美国大豆协会的主席就已经喊话几次特朗普，直到这次他才意识到"火烧屁股"了。 9月22 ...
