The International Grains Council estimates world soybean production will rise 4% in 2022-23, with consumption growing but not enough to offset output, so global closing stocks are increasing. Brazil has harvested about 90% of its soybean area, with analysts estimating output near 154 million tons, and growers are being pushed to sell amid tight storage.
The IGC soybean price index was 21% below a year earlier.
Expanding Brazilian supply and rising global stocks add downward pressure on soybean and meal prices for feed buyers. Early US planting progress points to a good crop ahead, reinforcing the bearish outlook.
