Soybean crushing in Mato Grosso hit a record high in May, with a volume of 1.04 million tons, marking a 4.97% increase from April. This surge is attributed to an improvement in the gross margin of the industries and strong foreign demand, particularly for soybean meal. The state is expected to maintain this crushing pace throughout the year due to a decrease in supply from Argentina. Mato Grosso has been supplying countries like Cuba, Egypt, Ghana, and Ivory Coast with by-products.
