Traders warn that Argentina's planting delays and dry soils, plus Brazil's planned biodiesel blending increase, could squeeze global soybean meal and oil supply in 2023. Argentina and Brazil together supply more than half of world soybean oil and meal.

Lower Argentine crush and higher Brazilian biodiesel demand for soyoil would tighten meal and oil availability, supporting derivative prices.
