Breaking News-RTRS-ANALYSIS-China grapples with plentiful soy, imports to slow

SINGAPORE/BEIJING, July 2 (Reuters) - The seasonal post-summer pick-up in Chinese soybean imports may fail to materialise this year as Beijing looks set to disgorge some of its record inventories ahead of the autumn harvest.
