# Less Soy in the EU, Imports from Brazil Are the Largest

> EU soybean imports from July 1 to October 25 fell 2.4% year over year to 3.79 million tonnes. Brazil supplied 2.97 million tonnes, or 78.39% of imports, while shipments from the United States and Ukraine dropped 59.8% and 60.5%, respectively. EU soybean production in 2026 could decline 20% to 2.4 million tonnes, with drought and reduced acreage weighing on output, although Poland and Germany are forecast to increase production.

## Why it matters

Lower EU production and reduced shipments from the United States and Ukraine increase reliance on Brazilian supply, supporting Brazil’s export position and potentially tightening EU soybean availability. The outlook is supportive for soybean prices, though imports overall have so far declined only modestly.
