USDA FAS reports U.S. soybean meal exports set a record 13.2 million tons in 2022/23, valued near $7 billion. Shipments expanded to the EU and Vietnam as Argentine drought reduced its exportable supplies, and USDA forecasts a new record of 13.9 million tons for 2023/24.
A record export pace drawn by biofuel-driven crush supports U.S. meal prices and reinforces demand for soybeans.
