Breaking News-RTRS-China April soy imports seen at 4.3 mln T-MOFCOM

BEIJING, April 14 (Reuters) - China's Commerce Ministry said buyers had reported imports of 4.3 million tonnes of soybeans for April.
That was slightly higher than the 4 million tonnes of actual arrivals in March recorded by China's Customs. Rains in Brazil had delayed loadings of cargoes to China from April to May, when China was expected to import a record amount of more than 5 million tonnes, traders said.
The China National Grain and Oils Information Center (CNGOIC) expected May imports at between 5 to 5.5 million tonnes.
