# The World's Crushing Plant: How Argentina Sells Soybeans as Oil and Meal Amid Falling Taxes and Fiercer Competition

> Argentina is projected to crush about 43.5 million tonnes of soybeans in 2026/27, equal to 87% of its crop, according to the November WASDE. It is expected to export 30 million tonnes of meal and 6.75 million tonnes of oil, with only 6.75 million tonnes of beans exported.

## Why it matters

Argentina supplies roughly a third of world meal exports and about 45% of world oil exports, so its crush and export pace shapes global meal and oil prices. Falling export taxes and rising competition could shift market share.
