Soybean available for sale approached R$170 per sack at Brazilian ports on November 12, according to analyst Cristiano Palavro of Pátria Agronegócios, while new-crop reference prices were near R$150. The gap of about R$20 reflects different delivery cycles, and quotes vary by port, timing and source.
The spread between spot and new-crop prices shows that Brazilian soybean buyers face a sizeable premium for immediate delivery, while new-crop pricing tracks the weaker Chicago trend. Buyers comparing quotes must account for port and timing differences before judging price levels.
