India's soybean processors oppose GM soybean meal imports, arguing domestic meal supply is sufficient. The Soybean Processors Association of India estimates 2026/27 meal supply of about 8.17 million tonnes against 8 million tonnes of consumption.
Nearby CBOT soybeans were quoted near 446 USD/mt, down about 4% from the October average.
If imports are restricted, domestic processors keep bean crush margins and limit demand destruction, supporting soybean prices. Meal import restrictions would tighten India's feed supply for poultry and could weigh on meal trade flows.
