Argentina's soybean crush in calendar 2021 reached 42.4 million tonnes, the highest since 2016 and 17.7% above 2020. December 2021 crush was 2.95 million tonnes.
Argentina remains the main exporter of soybean meal and oil.
Strong crush adds meal and oil supply to world markets, which is mildly bearish for meal and oil prices, while the demand for beans supports soybean prices.
