USDA analysts have lowered the global production forecast for oilseeds in 2024/25 by 5.1 million tons to 682.2 million tons, primarily due to a decrease in soybean production in the USA. The reduced production is offset by increased forecasts for Brazil and Argentina. The global consumption forecast has also been lowered, but world exports are expected to increase, primarily for Canada and Brazil. The ending stocks forecast has also been reduced, particularly for the USA, Brazil, and Argentina. The production forecasts for rapeseed, sunflower, peanuts, and sunflowers have also been adjusted downwards.
