Brazil's soybean planting is going well with 66% of the planned area planted, thanks to favorable rainfall, and there is potential to reach a record 169 million tons in 2024/25. Argentina is also starting its soybean planting. However, the Chicago Stock Exchange's November soybean futures fell 1.2% to $371/t due to weak demand from China, which is considering withdrawing from buying US soybeans due to a potential trade war resumption with the US. In Ukraine, purchase prices for GMO soybeans in ports have decreased due to a decrease in demand, leading to a reduction in the volume of soybean processing. Pakistani authorities have allowed the import of GMO soybeans from the US, ignoring the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, and 42 importers have been licensed for this purpose.
