Why is the price of soybean meal rising so much?

The price of soybean meal is rising significantly in Brazil and, according to TF Agroeconomic, there are many external factors that are causing this to happen. “The main reason for this phenomenon is that the United States is facing serious logistical problems when exporting soybean meal and demand is concentrated almost exclusively on South American suppliers”, he comments.

“Following the disasters generated in port terminals in the Gulf of Mexico by Hurricane Ida, in early September and the fall of a crane in a port terminal of the Ag Processing cooperative – one of the main American exporters of soybean meal – there was an interruption in shipments due to the impossibility of boarding, caused by the accident. This double logistical restriction coincides with an atypical demand for soybean meal in India, a country that recently had to modify the regulatory standard to approve the entry of soybean meal made with transgenic soybeans due to the critical shortage of this product”, he adds.

As is usually the case, it can be said that the week of negotiations on soybean meal on the domestic market took place in two moments: before and after the release of the USDA report. “Before the report, sellers shipped volumes of bran between R$ 2,200.00 and R$ 2,350.00, depending on the region of operation. Afterwards, prices fell, and buyers retreated, where no more business reports were heard”, he indicates.

In oil, the market remains at a standstill awaiting the biodiesel auction. “But something went from hand to mouth. Chemical industry purchasing R$ 7600 with 12 CIF – SP. Auction starts next week. Prices after the final result of the auction”, concludes the agroeconomic consultancy.
