Chinese soybean imports have altered dramatically since Beijing imposed 25% retaliatory tariffs on US products in July, with Brazil increasing its supply and Russia and Canada stepping in to fill the void.

Chinese importers are shifting to domestic producers and products from other countries including Russia and Canada, according to a news update on the Chinese state council's website.

US soybeans cost at least 700 to 800 yuan ($102 to $117) more since the July tariffs, said Jiusan Group, a major soybean processor.
