# Latest “Soybean Dollar” Program Accelerates Sales in Argentina

> Argentine soybean sales accelerated after a 'soybean dollar' program started September 5, with about 1.5 million tons sold September 1-12 versus 240,000 tons in the last week of August. The program lets crushers exchange a quarter of receipts at the open rate, and the 2022/23 drought left crushers running near 50% capacity, forcing heavy imports from Paraguay and Brazil.

## Why it matters

Faster farmer selling adds near-term Argentine supply to export markets, which is bearish for soybeans and meal, while crusher import dependence supports demand for Brazilian and Paraguayan beans.
