Ukrainian sunflower and soybean prices may fall as India, the largest vegetable oil importer, imposed a 21-day national quarantine that is expected to cut its vegetable oil demand by about 25%. Brazil's soybean harvest is 76% complete with output above 125 million tonnes, and the real's devaluation pushed Brazilian soybean export prices to $340-345/t FOB.
Lower Indian vegetable oil demand, lower oil prices reducing biofuel demand, and rising Brazilian soybean supply all point to weaker vegetable oil and soymeal prices.
