Soybean plantings in 2020/21 season shrank for a third consecutive season as a consequence of the state taxation policy, to 1450 Th ha (-18% from MY 2019/20). The soybean crop was at a seven-year low of 2912 KMT (-35% from MY 2019/20).
The main feature of MY 2020/21 was strong demand for non-GM soybeans, high premiums exceeding USD 100/MT compared to GM soybeans. Soybean crush slumped by 30% (1.22 MMT vs. 1.75 MMT in MY 2019/20).
The planted area for 2021/22 season is (-7% from MY 2020/21). Soybeans hardly can compete with sunflower, whose planted area hit a new high. At the same time, the crop will recover by 10-15% due to more optimistic yield forecasts.
