# In recent weeks, prices for soybean meal across Europe have sharply increased.

> Soybean meal prices in Europe have risen sharply in recent weeks, with Dutch offers up from 303 to 330-345 euros per ton FOB Amsterdam/Rotterdam for November/December. Italian prices reportedly rose to 345 euros from 315 euros the prior week. Traders attribute the increase to an EUDR-related surcharge and stronger CBOT futures tied to US-China trade negotiations.
