Argentine farmers sold a record 13.7m tonnes of soybeans in September, spurred by a temporary 'soy dollar' exchange rate, and export registrations more than doubled the first eight months' total. Sales are expected to slow sharply as the rate ends, amid election uncertainty and La Niña threats to the 2023 harvest.
Slower farmer selling tightens near-term Argentine soymeal and soyoil availability, while La Niña risk to the next crop supports prices.
