Argentine and Brazilian soybean crush volumes are forecast to rise in 2022, with Argentina at 42 million mt and Brazil at 47.7 million mt according to USDA's December WASDE. Local issues including taxes, macroeconomic problems and weather are limiting crushing capacity.
Higher South American crush increases meal and oil supply, which is bearish for soymeal and soyoil prices, though capacity constraints may limit the increase.
