Why are Soybean Meal Prices so high?
09-12-2025 - Over the past month, the price of Soybean Meal (CME) has decreased from 312.7 ¢/t to 303.6 ¢/t, indicating a downward trend in the raw material market. This decline suggests potential changes in supply or demand dynamics. The forecast for Soybean Meal (CME) is 303.0 ¢/t, a slight decrease of 0.2% from the current price of 303.6 ¢/t, indicating a generally stable trend with minimal risk due to the negligible price change.

Recent market data shows a significant increase in Brazil's soybean exports, with November 2025 shipments rising by 64% year-over-year to 4.2 million metric tons. This surge is due to a record harvest and occurs before China's seasonal shift to purchasing U.S. soybeans. The increased supply from Brazil is likely to exert downward pressure on global soybean prices, supporting the forecasted decline in CME soybean prices over the next month.
