Abiove projects Brazil will crush a record 57.1 million mt of soybeans in 2025, from 55 million mt in 2024, on a 171.7 million mt harvest. The crush is supported by rising soybean oil demand for biodiesel as the blend moves to 15% in March.
A record crush expands soymeal output and pressures meal prices, while higher biodiesel demand supports soybean oil and the soybean complex.
