# Argentina’s oilseed crushing rate forecast to drop

> Ciara-CEC projects Argentina's oilseed crush rate could fall to 56% by the end of 2021/22, down from 62% the prior cycle and among the lowest in a decade. The industry is processing soybeans at negative margins as Argentina's production and share of world trade decline.
