China, the world’s largest soybean importer, purchased 10.62 million tons from Brazil in June 2025, a 9.2% increase compared to the same month last year, accounting for 86.6% of the country’s total imports during the period.
This record volume reinforces the relevance of the Brazilian market for global food security and strengthens the trade ties between the two nations. Despite the excellent monthly performance, total shipments from January to June fell 7.5%, reaching 31.86 million tons. Meanwhile, the United States also saw an increase in exports to China, with a 33% growth, totaling 16.15 million tons in the semester.
Brazil’s strong harvest and trade tensions between China and the United States were decisive factors in driving this significant growth in Chinese purchases.
