Recently, many supervision departments investigated flow direction of
imported soybeans in many ports to control imported soybeans entering commodity
market. The imported soybeans are only allowed to use in oil plant. The
imported soybeans can be bought from port dealers upon imported transgenic
soybean processing permit. This action can show the government has emphasized
on and strengthened supervision on flow direction of imported soybeans. Since
July 24, the application for imported soybeans in Shandong Port is basically
stopped. Even if the port is unsealed in later period, the imported soybeans
flowing into food industry will be restricted obviously. Insiders predict that
every year about 2 million ton imported transgenic soybeans flow into food
market. Thus, strengthening supervision is undoubtedly a favorable condition
for domestic soybean market.
This year, the government delays auctioning domestic reserve soybeans. In
later period, the worry about shortage of domestic soybeans spreads over the
market, which may bring opportunity of rise to domestic soybeans in the future.
