According to European Commission data cited by Agro Profil, Poland imported 805,498 tonnes of soybean meal from 1 July to 1 November 2026, second in the EU only to Spain. Poland received just 13,066 tonnes of soybeans over the same period, so meal dominates its feed-industry imports.
Brazil supplied 76% of EU soybean imports in the first 18 weeks of the 2026/27 season, up from 46.5% a year earlier, while US supplies fell to 15.2% from 40.2%.
Poland's feed sector relies heavily on imported meal, so Brazilian soybean and meal prices feed directly into livestock production costs. The sharp shift in EU sourcing toward Brazil reflects relative US-Brazil pricing and can support Brazilian meal and soybean prices.
