India’s soybean meal exports fell 72% to 187,312 tonnes in April–July 2026 from 676,992 tonnes a year earlier, despite the rupee weakening about 8% against the dollar. Total oilmeal exports declined 27%, while rapeseed meal exports edged up 2%, changing the composition of Indian oilmeal shipments.
The sharp reduction in Indian soybean meal exports signals weaker export availability and can support competing suppliers, including Brazil and Argentina. The weaker rupee did not offset the underlying loss of competitiveness, limiting the expected boost to export demand.
