# Brazilian B10 mandate to boost soybean exports by 1.2 million tons  : The Daily Digest

> Brazil's B10 biodiesel blending mandate rises to 10% in March from 8%, and Brazil's soymeal exports are forecast to reach 16.2 million tonnes in 2018 from 15 million in 2017. Reduced Argentine supply from drought is cited as a factor. About 40% of domestic crush now goes to biodiesel.

## Why it matters

Higher Brazilian soymeal exports partly offset tighter Argentine supply, while greater biodiesel demand absorbs soybean oil and supports crush, which affects meal and oil availability for feed buyers.
