Soybean exports reach new record for the year

Brazilian soybean exports reached a record volume for the month in September, driven by strong external demand, according to researchers at Cepea.

In September/25, the country shipped 6.5 million tons of grain, a historic record for the month and 6.6% above that shipped in September/24, according to partial data from Secex.

Compared to August, however, there was a decline of 30.3%, a typical trend in the second half of the year, when national stocks are lower. Furthermore, according to Cepea researchers, the greater availability of soybeans in Argentina limited some Brazilian shipments in September.

Even so, from January to September, Brazil exported 93 million tons, a record for the period. In addition to the strong demand for Brazilian grain, the weather remains on producers' radar.

The progress of sowing for the 2025/26 harvest in Paraná has contrasted with the still slow pace of activities in the Center-West and Southeast, due to the lack of rain.
