Phahama Grain Phakama (PGP) criticised a South African court's decision on 6 November 2026 to strike Grain SA's urgent application against the JSE's new soybean pricing methodology for lack of urgency. PGP says small black soybean farmers remain exposed to futures-based deductions applied in the physical market.
Futures-linked deductions reduce the prices South African soybean growers receive, which can shift local soybean meal supply and feed-ingredient pricing. The dispute is domestic and slow-moving, with limited global price impact.
After 554 past neutral policy events, Soybeans moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and +0.6% over 20.
