Soybean meal prices continued to rise in Brazil and the United States on strong global demand, according to Cepea data. The meal share of the crush margin reached its highest level since October 2024 in São Paulo.
Conab made some soybean meal storage available in certain Brazilian states between July and August, which may have limited industry willingness to sell.
A higher meal share in crush margins gives processors an incentive to keep crushing and supports meal prices while global demand remains strong. Brazilian meal supply may be less pressured by industry selling.
