Low water on the Paraná River has forced ships leaving Argentina to load less cargo, shifting some soy oil shipments to Brazilian ports such as Paranaguá. Cattalini expects Brazilian soy oil exports to rise 25% in 2020, with Abiove raising its export estimate to 1 million tonnes.
Argentine soy oil and meal export capacity is constrained by river logistics, and Brazil captures the displaced volume, which supports Brazilian soy oil availability and affects global soy oil and meal trade flows.
