Introduction: 1 Production and Trade: the impact of dry climate on production in summer is lower than originally estimated Therefore, it is estimated that China's soybean production will increase to 15.25 million tons in 2001 / 02 market year The biggest change was in Heilongjiang Province, where domestic agencies estimated soybean production at 5.16 million tons, 654000 tons higher than last year It is also estimated that the soybean crushing volume will increase due to the continued expansion of the soybean industry and strong import for most of the market year Although China's new GM labelling rules have had a serious impact on trade, shipments of soybeans purchased before the rules were announced continue to arrive and are only now over The full impact of the regulation on the market will be fully reflected in 2002 2 Trade prospects: China's genetically modified labeling regulations have added some uncertainties to the already unstable market The regulation was released on June 6, requiring imported GM products to provide a GM safety certificate However, the regulation does not specify the definition of safety certificate or how to obtain the GM certificate As for the details of the GM regulations, they have not yet been published At the same time, Chinese quarantine officials declined to say whether imports would require a GM Certificate in the absence of detailed GM regulations Trade insiders claim that some goods can enter China's ports, but few traders are willing to take risks because lack of safety certificates may lead to rejection U.S Customs data show that U.S soybean exports to China fell from 1.5 million tons in the same period last year to 0 tons from May to September, despite reports that two ships have arrived in China in the past two weeks At present, the detailed rules and regulations of GMOs are still being drafted, and the Chinese government has not provided us with the opportunity to understand or comment on the detailed rules The extent of the impact on trade depends on the content of the rules Even if the rules are published, there is still a problem of grace period, because the GM rules allow the Ministry of agriculture of China to review the application of GM certificate within 270 working days Foreign governments have been putting pressure on China since June In addition to the issue of genetically modified labeling regulations, traders reported significant delays in soybean shipments due to unusually strict quarantine measures by Chinese officials Under these circumstances, the market's annual trade outlook for 2001 is uncertain The economic site expects China's soybean imports to fall to 12 million tons in 2001, based on reduced trade As part of the compensation, and as a reflection of China's WTO accession efforts, soybean oil and meal imports increased It is highly likely that trade will rebound later in the year, with the same or more trade volume as the market in 2000, as importers seek to replenish inventories On the other hand, if the problem is not solved, the loss may increase This seems unlikely, as China's domestic oilseed crushing plants will be the main victims, while Indian and South American soybean oil producers will be the main beneficiaries But China's regulatory authorities have ignored domestic industry demand, so a second possibility cannot be ruled out 3 Supply and demand
