BEIJING—China’s soybean imports from the United States in August rose six-fold from a year earlier, customs data showed on Sept. 25, as cargos purchased earlier amid an easing in the trade dispute between the countries cleared customs.
China, the world’s top buyer of soybeans, brought in 1.68 million tonnes of the oilseed from the United States in August, up from 265,377 tonnes a year ago. That was up 84 percent from last month’s 911,888 tonnes, according to data released by the General Administration of Customs.
