Soybean| China's soybean imports rose 44.3 percent

China's soybean imports rose 44.3 percent from a year ago to 7.26 million tonnes in September, boosted by cheap supplies from South American producers. A slowdown in China's record pace of purchases from July is likely to be a blow to United States exporters that normally ship 40 percent of their annual crop to China, in last quarter of the year.
