Brazil's new soybean crop is in good condition with improved soil moisture, leading to fast and homogeneous germination and emergence. The USDA estimates soybean production at 169 million tons and exports at 105.5 million tons. In contrast, Argentina's weather is erratic, with only 8% of the planned soybean area sown. Global market highlights include an increase in MATIF canola prices, a reduction in canola production forecasts for Australia and the EU, and a decrease in US soybean production forecasts. Russian farmers are expected to harvest large crops of soybeans and rapeseed, compensating for a weaker sunflower harvest. Turkey's new sunflower crop is estimated as the weakest in eight years.
