Argentina's 2024/25 soybean planting reached 54% of the planned 17.914 million hectares as of December 15, slightly behind last year's pace. Brazil's harvest is progressing well, though moisture deficits in the north and northeast could affect yields.
India's soybean imports fell about 15% as farmers held back sales.
Slower Argentine planting and Brazilian yield risk tighten near-term supply, while weak Indian import demand is bearish. The net effect on soybean and meal prices depends on South American weather.
