# Brazilian 2018/19 soy exports seen falling as much as 18% in part due to increased biodiesel demand  : The Daily Digest

> Brazil's state agency Conab expects 2018/19 soybean exports to fall as much as 18%. Higher domestic biodiesel demand, lower production, and reduced Chinese import demand as US-China tensions ease are cited as reasons, though January exports rose 37% on an early harvest.
