On Tuesday, soyameal futures for delivery in January rose 2.81 percent to 3,253 yuan ($471.30) per tonne, building on gains of 2.7 percent from the previous session. The contract peaked at 3,273 yuan on Tuesday, its highest since mid-July. Official Chinese think tank, China National Grain and Oils Information Center (CNGOIC), said in a daily report on Tuesday that environmental authorities have inspected some crushing plants in Dongguan, in China's southern province of Guangdong.
