World Grain reports Brazilian soybean exports are expected to reach record levels in 2017, with USDA estimating 61 million tonnes against 57 million from Brazilian sources. Brazil's export infrastructure, heavily reliant on trucking, is struggling to keep pace with the growth in production and exports.
Infrastructure bottlenecks in Brazil can delay soybean and meal shipments, supporting Brazilian port premiums and possibly lifting prices for alternative origins while tightening the timing of export supply.
