# Soybean meal: Europe anticipates purchases and Argentina gains ground on Brazil

> Argentina's agro-export complex earned US$3.228 billion in September, up 17.3% from August, with year-to-date receipts of US$22.276 billion, down 22% year on year. Soybean crushing in August reached 4.25 million tonnes, and Argentina is reportedly gaining share against Brazil in soybean meal supply to Europe.

## Why it matters

European buyers front-loading soybean meal purchases from Argentina could tighten nearby meal supply and support prices, while shifting trade flows away from Brazil. Strong Argentine crush also signals ample meal availability.
