With their focus on field activities for the 2025/26 season, some Brazilian soybean farmers are staying away from negotiating lots for delivery on the spot market, according to a survey by Cepea.
According to the Research Center, this behavior increased domestic prices for the oilseed and sustained export premiums in Brazil.
Domestic sellers expect Chinese demand for Brazilian commodities to grow in the last quarter of this year, based on uncertainties in the trade relationship between the United States and the Asian country, as researchers explain.
On the demand side, the country's crushing industries are quite active in purchasing soybeans, but many are already indicating difficulties in acquiring new lots on the spot market, according to Cepea.
