Argentine farmers have sold only 29% of the estimated 49.5 million-tonne soybean harvest as of July 15, against a historical average of 41%. Fundación Mediterránea attributes the slow sales partly to the energy and mining export boom, which reduces pressure on producers to sell soybeans quickly.
Analysts expect stronger export inflows later in the year.
Farmer hoarding keeps soybean supplies tight in the near term, supporting domestic and export soybean prices, while the expected later sales would ease that pressure.
After 356 past bullish policy events, Soybeans moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -1.2% to +2.3%), and -0.9% over 20.
