BEIJING, Dec 23 (Reuters) - China's commerce ministry has
revised up its forecast for soy imports in December to 4.58
million tonnes, the second largest monthly import ever, from its
earlier estimate of 3.87 million tonnes.
The ministry's forecast was below expectations of the
country's top planning body, the National Development and Reform
Commission (NDRC), which sees record imports for December, or
larger than the 4.71 million tonnes in June, the highest ever
monthly import.
