Indian soybean processors, represented by SOPA, oppose imports of genetically modified soymeal, arguing domestic meal supplies are abundant. The livestock sector wants cheaper feed, creating a tug-of-war over import policy.
CBOT soybean futures were quoted near 446 USD/mt, about 4% below the October average.
A possible restriction on GM soymeal imports into India would curb a sizeable import source and support soymeal and soybean prices. The processors' position limits the immediate risk of demand destruction, keeping a price floor under the market.
