President Donald Trump's tariffs have decimated U.S. farmers' soybean market and there is "no sign of Chinese buying." The fall harvest has started without any orders from China, the world's biggest buyer, according to a new report published on agriculture.com's Successful Farming.

American farmers are reporting record yields for crops this fall but it's unclear who will buy them. The USDA estimates that American farmers are harvesting 4.3 billion bushels, however there is no indication if or when shipments to China will continue. Most years, China buys more than half of U.S. soybean exports — but not this year.

Brazil, however, has had record demand from China from January to August 2025 for Brazilian soybeans. And in the new report, experts "consider the possible consequences if a trade deal is not reached this fall."

"From the 2017/18 to the 2024/25 crop season, Brazil jumped its soybean production from 4.5 billion bushels to 6.3 billion bushels, according to the National Supply Company (Conab) – Brazil’s food supply and statistics agency."

There is speculation that Chinese buyers importing soybeans could be "accelerating shipments to avoid sourcing from the United States."

5. That was my first thought: Edamame will be a little less expensive . . .

but then I realized, the farmers will be seeking whatever profits they can get, so we'll possibly pay more for their products domestically, to make up for the total loss of their foreign markets. Hope they remember who destroyed their business.
