A CoBank report estimates that meeting 2030 renewable diesel targets would require crushing 3.4 billion more bushels of soybeans. That would mean ending U.S. soybean exports and planting 17.9 million more acres of soybeans, mostly taken from corn.
If renewable diesel demand absorbs soybean supply, export flows fall and domestic crush rises, which lifts soybean and soybean oil prices while pressuring export demand. Analysts question whether the scenario is realistic.
