# Argentina’s new-crop soybean sales remain more than 50% below last year’s level

> As of October 28, Argentine farmers had contracted 1.94 million tonnes of 2026/27 soybeans, 53% below the year-earlier level. Sales of the 2025/26 crop and export-license applications were also down year on year, although weekly farmer sales increased.

## Why it matters

Slower farmer selling and fewer export registrations can restrict near-term soybean availability to crushers and exporters, potentially supporting local prices and limiting meal and oil output.
