# ASA Warns Against State Petitions that Threaten Domestic Soybean Markets

> The American Soybean Association warned that petitions from several state governors seeking waivers from 2027 Renewable Fuel Standard compliance could weaken U.S. biofuel demand. The association said current RFS obligations have boosted domestic soybean demand and processing investment, and argued that waivers would benefit refiners at agriculture’s expense.

## Why it matters
