China met its October 2025 commitment to buy 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans by January 2026.

Question

Accepted Answer

China agreed to purchase at least 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans before January 2026 after Trump reached a deal with Xi Jinping. But from October 30 through December 8, China purchased only 2.845 million metric tons—less than a quarter of the promised amount. China's effective boycott of U.S. soybeans lasted several months in 2025, during which they bought from Brazil and Argentina instead. The gap between promised and actual purchases is why farmers needed the $12 billion bridge payment in the first place.
