Transit soybeans via Constanța are being moved through Romania to third markets, with Romanian soybean imports reported at about 270 thousand tonnes for 2024/25. Processors say the EC's October 2023 special licensing regime is complex and slow, limiting local crush demand.
Weather models point to wetter conditions for Ukraine and southwestern Russia, relevant for winter wheat.
Transit flows overstate local soybean demand, so the bearish impact on Romanian crush margins is limited, while wetter weather could support winter wheat establishment.
