    After New Year's Day, domestic soybean meal and other feed prices began a new round of price reduction, and international inflation also showed obvious signs of
    slowing down.
    What will happen to domestic feed prices in 2023?Kmf-,

    For this wave of price reductions, domestic research institutions believe that the main reason is that significant changes are taking place at both ends of supply and demand: on the one hand, the number of soybeans arriving at Hong Kong has risen sharply, easing the pressure on supply and demand; On the other hand, the number of positive cases in China has increased, and the market sales speed has begun to slow
    down.

    In terms of outlooking full-year demand, domestic and foreign institutions have raised their forecasts for China's soybean imports, while the National Grain and Oil Information Center is more optimistic about annual import forecasts, which are expected to reach 95 million tons
    .
    Looking around the global market, international soybean production in the new year is estimated at 391 million tons, an all-time high, but global cereal stocks are still at their lowest level in a decade, and the global supply and demand pattern remains in a tight balance

    Domestic feed prices began a new round of price reductionsKmf-,

    After New Year's Day, domestic soybean meal and other feed prices began a new round of price reduction, generally in the range of 50 yuan - 200 yuan / ton
    .
    According to the statistics of the data research department of the feed industry information network Huitong, the average price of soybean meal in December last year was 4809.
    32 yuan / ton, down more than 600 yuan / ton from the previous month, a decrease of 11.
    35%.

    Kmf-,

    Why did last year's strong soybean meal start to continue to weaken? Li Wei, an analyst at Huaan Futures, said that the main reason is that the number of soybeans arriving at domestic oil mills has risen sharply, and the soybean crush has also increased month by month, and the tight supply of domestic soybean meal has gradually eased
    .
    Kmf-,

    Customs data showed that in October last year, domestic soybean imports arrived at Hong Kong only 4.

    35 million tonnes
    of soybeans arriving in November.
    In December, the market is expected to arrive at 9 million tons to 10 million tons
    .
    Up to now, the large number of soybeans arriving in Hong Kong has stimulated oil mill operating rates to remain at a high level
    of more than 70%.
    Kmf-,

    Shi Lihong of the Futures Research and Development Department of CSC believes that since December last year, the driving factors of the domestic soybean market have mainly been on the demand side
    .
    The increase in positive cases in China has prompted consumers to be reluctant to go out for their own safety considerations, and the increase in positive patients has also reduced the number of restaurants, vegetable markets and other business entities, superimposed on the approach to the Spring Festival, school holidays, migrant workers returning to their hometowns, the speed of goods in the sales area market is slow, and the market relies on the consumption of bean sources on the national storage and storage
    .
    However, the State Reserve Bank has continued to cut the purchase price since December last year, which has intensified the wait-and-see mentality
    of traders in production and marketing areas.
