Hey there! Did you know that soybeans are tiny beans used to make things like tofu, soy milk, and even chocolate? π±π« Well, something interesting is happening with soybeans right now!
The Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, one of the busiest ports on the Chinese mainland, is receiving a lot more soybeans from Brazil. In April, they’re expecting up to 40 ships filled with Brazilian soybeans! That’s a 48% increase compared to last year! π²π’
Why is this happening? Trade is shifting, and China is buying fewer soybeans from the United States and more from Brazil. This means that the soybeans in your favorite snacks might have taken a long trip from Brazil to China! ππ
Isn’t it amazing how countries around the world share and trade? Next time you enjoy a tasty treat made with soybeans, you can think about the incredible journey those little beans made! πβ€οΈ
