Deepening Futures-Spot Integration and Cross-Border Synergy to Build a New Ecosystem for the Oilseeds Industry

In recent years, the global supply and demand landscape for oilseeds has undergone profound adjustments, with price volatility risks increasing for major varieties such as soybeans and palm oil, creating greater uncertainty for upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry chain. On October 14, at the Oilseeds Forum of the 19th International Oilseeds Conference and the Agricultural and Livestock Industry (Derivatives) Conference, attendees stated that in response to complex and changing market conditions, it is essential to further leverage the price discovery and risk management functions of futures markets. This involves promoting deep integration between futures instruments and corporate procurement, processing, and trading operations; continuously enriching risk management tools; improving the industrial service system; and deepening cooperation between domestic and international markets. These efforts aim to enhance the resilience of industry chains and supply chains through futures-spot integration and cross-border linkage, thereby supporting high-quality development in the oilseeds sector.
