Rains have arrived in Brazil's main producing regions after a slow planting start. CONAB projects a record 166 million tonnes soybean crop, up 7.4% from the prior high, on a 2.8% increase in planted area and higher yields.
A record Brazilian crop and rising biodiesel blending under the Fuel of the Future bill support soybean oil and meal supply, while record exports reinforce Brazil's dominance and pressure global soy prices.
