EU soyabean meal imports signal another year of strong demand

The USDA raised its 2025/26 forecast for EU soybean meal imports by 1 million tonnes to 19.5 million tonnes, close to last year's decade high of 20.6 million. Imports through February are tracking last year's pace.

WHY IT MATTERS

Robust EU import demand, driven by low meal prices and shortfalls in rapeseed and sunflower meal, supports global meal trade.
