Soybean exports decline in Brasil

Soybean production and trading in Brasil have taken significant impacts as of late due to local and international events. Commercialization of the 2021/22 Brazilian soybean harvest advanced 55% of the expected production until April 1, according to a survey conducted by DATAGRO Consulting. This index remained below the 71.5% recorded during the same period for the 2019/20 harvest (which was a record), as well as the 58.6% average for the last five years.

Considering the current revised forecast which is at 125.11 million tons for the 2021/22 harvest, Brazilian soybean producers marketed 68.81 million tons up until now. For this same period last year, the volume of traded production was much higher both in relative and absolute terms. Reaching 92.45 million tons.

 

On the other hand, 6.9% of the estimated production of the 2022/23 oilseed harvest is commercially compromised. This value sits below the 8.4% average of the last 5 years and well below the 12.8% for the same date in 2021.

According to specialists, this conservative position is linked to producers being apprehensive and doubtful about the technological level which will be possible to adopt within the next campaign. In addition to a significant increase in costs due to restrictions in the fertilizer market because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Soybean exports in March were estimated at 11.12 million tons, which represents a 29% drop compared to the monthly record of 15.67 million tons registered for the same period last year.

In the case of soybean meal, exports are expected to grow by more than 300,000 tons year-on-year, up to 1.9 million tons in April, despite a reduction in grain exports. This is due to the fact that processing within the country has been able to maintain itself with good margins.
