The American Soybean Association warned that granting state requests to waive 2027 Renewable Fuel Standard compliance would damage US soybean markets and rural economies. It said current biofuel requirements have strengthened domestic soybean demand, supported biofuel production, and prompted investment in soybean-processing capacity.
A rollback could weaken biofuel demand for soybean oil and reduce the incentive to crush soybeans, pressuring soybean and soybean-oil prices. The effect depends on the EPA’s decision on the waiver requests.
