USDA's FAS attaché report forecasts Argentina's 2025/26 soybean planted area falling to 16.5 million hectares, with production at 47.5 MMT. Crush is seen steady at 42 MMT, while sunflower area rises to 2.65 million hectares with production projected at 5.3 MMT.
Lower soybean output and steady crush point to tighter Argentine soybean meal and oil availability, while larger sunflower supplies add competing meal and oil volumes. Net effect is modestly supportive for soybean products and mildly bearish for sunflower meal pricing.
