    Expected issues in the Brazilian soybean supply chain in a new record production year

> USDA cut its 2019/20 Brazilian soybean crop forecast by 1.5 million tonnes to 124.5 million, though yields are record in several states and the crop remains the country's largest ever. Labor and transport disruptions are complicating South American soybean shipments, while exports in March reached a record 11.6 million tonnes.

## Why it matters

Brazil's large crop and strong export pace keep global soybean supply ample, while transport bottlenecks could delay shipments and shift timing of supply into Asian markets.
