Brazil increased the pace of soybean exports in October

Brazil’s October sales of last and current season’s soybean crop are strong thanks to competitive market prices, industry agency Safras&Mercado reported.

As of November 8, sales of the-2023/24 soybean crop are at 92.6% of projected production of 152.3 million tons (compared with 87.7% as of October 4), compared with average old crop sales of 92.9% over the past 5 years.

Sales of oilseed crop-2024/25 are estimated at 28.2% of the expected 171.8 million tons (24.8% at the beginning of October), while forward sales for the last 5 years for this period amounted to 33%. Experts expect to maintain the trend of stable prices for soybeans until December.
