jointly purchase and ship soybeans in bulk.

4. Cointegration test
3
• We applied Johansen’s cointegration test with three
series of monthly average soybean prices(2012.1~2015.6)
to determine if a common long-term trend existed and if
the variables were cointegrated.
• CIF prices :the prices set by international grain traders
• Average import prices :the import costs for
domestic companies
• The prices for self-collection at port:the wholesale
prices in the domestic market
5. Cointegration test
4
Under the principles of Johansen’s model (1994), at the
significance level of 0.05, the trace test and the maximum
eigenvalue test results suggested that there was only one
cointergating vector among the three price variables .
6. Marketing margin analysis
5
the marketing margin of soybeans = (0.18×the price for
soybean oil +0.82×the price for soybean meal) - the price of
soybeans.
