Rabobank's annual Agri Commodities Outlook names the US-China trade war, currency swings and El Niño as the main threats to food price stability in 2019. It forecasts China's soybean imports will fall below 90 million tonnes in 2018/19, leaving US soybean stocks more than doubling to record levels.
Lower Chinese purchases of US soybeans create a large US oversupply, which pressures US soybean prices and supports Brazilian export premiums. Heavier soybean supply also means cheaper soybean meal for feed buyers.
