At present, the international common settlement currency is the US dollar, so the settlement currency used in the process of importing soybeans with the United States is also the US dollar. The current price of soybeans arriving in Hong Kong is 3320-3340 yuan per ton, that is, 1.61-162 yuan per jin. According to the current exchange rate of the US dollar against the RMB, it is 0.244 US dollars per jin.

However, we should not think that this is the market price of American soybeans, because imported soybeans include freight, value-added tax, customs duties, and Hong Kong miscellaneous fees. In other words, the price of soybeans in the United States is much lower than that of imported soybeans.

According to a June report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the price of soybeans in the United States is 8.75 to 11.25 U.S. dollars per bushel (321.50 to 413.36 U.S. dollars per ton), or 2300 yuan per ton, or 1.15 yuan per jin at current exchange rates.

As a reference, the current price of soybean in China is 1.76 yuan per jin, which is 1.5 times that of the United States. For American soybeans, it can really be said to be the cheapest soybean in the world today, and the price is quite low.

In December 2017, Chen Xiwen, director of the Agricultural economy Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, said that he would promote the steps to bring China's grain prices in line with international standards. It should be said that as far as the current grain price in China is concerned, there is still a considerable gap between the current grain price in China and the international grain price. If the price of soybeans in China is lowered to the same price in the United States, I am afraid that ordinary people will really lose money.

Due to the trade problems between China and the United States this year, a notice issued in mid-June showed that a 25 per cent import tariff would be imposed on soybeans from the United States in July. Judging from the current market situation, the price of soybeans in the United States will soon reach 3800 yuan per ton. It can be said that this price has exceeded the price of domestic soybeans in China. It is undoubtedly an exciting thing for soybean farmers in our country.

However, in today's economic globalization, we should also realize that the imposition of tariffs on American soybeans will not last for a long time, and if the market is really liberalized in the future, China's domestic soybeans will not have the slightest competitive advantage. This is worthy of our deep consideration.
