    finding an alternative market is basically impossible for soybean, because most of them were used to feed pigs, and China consumes nearly half of total pork consumed annually in the world. After 2018, China shift the purchase to south America, causing Brazilian soybean export and production skyrocketing.

      I think the theoretical idea that biofuels is better is that the carbon is cycled through above ground and ideally no petroleum is extracted from mining. The problem is that extending the usability of machines and processes that rely on fuels means that those markets are still trying to grow which means that the world isn't mining less from the ground, only technically less than if they didn't add biofuels. You can't use 20% more fuel and say you're 10% greener because you have a 90-10 blend, you are still detrimental to GHG effect. A transition to renewables and sustainability means that drilling for oil and mining carbon from underground has to stop and in fact reverse to fix what has been done to our planet since the industrial revolution.

    Brazil really took advantage of the trade situation to scale up this important animal feedstock crop. Brazil is already one of the biggest meat exporters in the world and soybeans help vertically supplement that industry, because of high prices driven by demand from China. Of course that often comes at the expense of the Amazon rainforest.
    At 60% of world demand, China is the big swing customer. India doesn't consume much beef or pork for religious reasons both Hindu and Muslim, and chickens doesn't eat that much soybean vs. pigs and cows. And biodiesel isn't a price competitive alternative to fossil fuel without subsidies, and has to be mixed at a low ratio for current engines.

    they want to avoid having all their beans in one basket but they won't ever consider that you could fill the basket with something else. Diversification needs to happen from the demand side as well as the supply side. The analogy of the basket is also not limited to the consumer, the basket is also the producers portfolio or land if you will. You may be able to sell soybeans to someone else but if something happens and you lose all your soybeans or if nobody wants soybeans then you're out of luck unless the government bails you out.

      you're assuming the farmers lead the trade war when that was mainly Trump, and he did so mainly for political rather than economic reasons. Even if Trumps actions went according to plan he'd mainly have helped American _manufacturing_ rather than farming, and that benefit would still have largely been at the expense of agriculture. Those subsidies werent profitable either, farmers planted the crops and then couldnt harvest them because it wouldnt have been profitable so the "government handouts" were more of a consolation for the loss of business which in this case makes sense since it was the government doing the damage, not the farmers.

    A lot of confused people in the comments below. I'm surprised so many people don't know what a bushel is. In North America (the U.S. and Canada, unsure about Mexico) a bushel is a measure of volume. Technically, it is '8 US dry gallons', but it's known more commonly as 1.24 cubic feet. Remember, this is a measure of volume, not weight. A bushel of grain can vary in weight, but generally wheat would weigh about 60 lbs, soybeans 60 lbs, oats 32 lbs, barley 48 lbs. I think you'll gradually see the bushel disappear as metric measures are phased in. If you'd like to know more, see the Bushel entry at Wikipedia.

    Do you know how to bankrupt a farmer? Nail his mailbox shut so he can't get the government checks. These rich farmers should not get government money. But they get tens of billions every year.

    Soybeans are one of the most important ingredients for Japanese people as well as rice. But one undeniable fact is that if it is written "GMO" on the label, it won't sell well at least in Japan.

      This is why they have now corn products everywhere in their food. Simply because the producers created more demand this way.
      Keeps the corn producing industry afloat and side effect is only that Americans become fatter and unhealthier. But who cares about people as long there is money to make?!
