Heilongjiang province, China’s top soy area, is expecting a bumper harvest in October despite plantings being delayed by about 10 days, said the China National Grain and Oils Information Centre. It cited the Heilongjiang Soybean Association as saying yields could increase by 10 per cent if the weather was favourable in the later growing period. The province in the northeast produces about 40 per cent of the country’s total output. The centre in its August report estimated China’s total soy harvest this year would fall 3.3 per cent on the year to 14.5 million tonnes.
