# Weather hits the Soya harvest

> Brazil's soybean crop is ending poorly after dryness in the northeast and wetness in the far south, and early estimates have been trimmed. Argentina's soybean crop has been hit by extensive flooding in eastern and northern areas, with forecasts down about 8% from last year and up to 30% in the hardest-hit areas.

## Why it matters

Lower South American soybean and meal output tightens global supply at a time when ports and movement are also disrupted. This supports soybean and meal prices.
