Oilseed Sector in Brazil

Brazil is a key global oilseed producer, accounting for almost a quarter of total global supply. For the 2022/23, marketing year (MY), Post estimates that the country produced about 158,380 MMT of soybeans, cottonseed, palm kernel, peanuts, and sunflower seed. Soybeans are by far the most dominant oilseed; in the 2022/23 MY, soybeans accounted for 96 percent of all oilseeds produced in the country. Cottonseed production is a distant second with 2.7 percent of Brazil’s total oilseed volume, while peanuts, palm kernel, and sunflower seed account for less than one percent of production.

Argentina: Oilseeds and Products Annual

Post lowers its 2022/2023 estimate for Argentine soybean production to 23.9 million metric tons (MMT). This production estimate is the lowest in 24 year and the yield estimate is the lowest in almost 50 years. As a result of the drought, Post estimates that Argentina will need to import a record 11 MMT of soybeans to achieve a crush of 29.5 MMT. This reduced crush would lead Argentina to export only 18.75 MMT of soybean meal, potentially losing its position as the world's largest exporter of soybean meal. (continue)

Oilseeds and Products Annual

Post forecasts that Brazilian producers will expand soybean planted area at a slower pace, to 42.5 million hectares (ha) in 2022/23, up from the estimated 40.7 mn ha planted in the 2021/22 season. Post forecasts 2022/23 soybean production at 139 million metric tons (MMT), up from the estimated 124.8 MMT harvest this season, assuming return to normal weather conditions.

Oilseeds and Products Update

Post increased its forecast for soybean planted area to 40.5 million hectares for 2021/22, up from 39 million hectares in 2020/21. Brazil continues to expand its area because of high domestic soybean prices. Post forecasts a record harvest at 145 million metric tons (MMT), with planting starting earlier this year. For 2020/21, Post maintained the production estimate of 137 MMT. Soybean exports in 2021/22 are forecast at 92 MMT, up from 2020/21 exports estimated at 85.3 MMT. With ample supplies, Post revised imports downward, now forecast at 400,000 metric tons (MT) for 2021/22. For 2021/22, Post revised the soybean processing forecast up to 47.5 MMT based on available supply. The crush estimate for 2020/21 is unchanged at 46.5 MMT, constrained by high domestic oil prices.
