# Indian soybean meal on the world market too expensive

> Indian soybean meal exports fell 74% in the 2015/16 marketing season ending March 31, to 387,297 tonnes. Indian meal was priced above world market offers after domestic soybean production dropped, so South American supplies won share in key buyers such as Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Japan and Taiwan.
