A Taiwanese market commentary says high fossil fuel prices are lifting biofuel demand for soybeans. The USDA projects 2026/27 US biofuel soybean oil use of 17.8 billion pounds, up about 20%.
Serasa estimates Brazil's 2026/27 soybean crop could fall about 10% due to a strong El Niño, and Brazil's B16 mandate is expected to lift crushing to a record 66 million tonnes in 2027.
Strong biofuel demand plus a possible Brazilian crop shortfall tightens soybean and soybean oil supplies, supporting prices, while expected Brazilian crush growth adds meal supply.
