The 40th edition of the Soybean Research Meeting will be held on June 10th and 11th, 2026, in Londrina, with the aim of deepening the technical debate on the main bottlenecks and advances in the oilseed production chain in the country. Established as one of the main scientific forums in the sector, the meeting is expected to bring together researchers, consultants, companies, and producers around strategic themes for the sustainability of the crop.
Organized with a strictly technical focus, the event seeks to promote professional development and the exchange of knowledge among different links in the supply chain, at a time when productivity, climate adaptation, and international competitiveness are becoming central issues for Brazilian agribusiness.
The program is structured around plenary sessions, lectures, and thematic panels led by experts, focusing on applied science and technology transfer.

The opening session will include a discussion on geopolitics and economics, addressing the impacts of the international scenario on the soybean market. The agenda addresses the growing influence of external factors—such as trade relations and commodity dynamics—on price formation and planting decisions.
Subsequently, the discussions move on to the technical challenges of production, with an emphasis on management, productivity, and efficiency of agricultural systems. Throughout the afternoon, the program unfolds in simultaneous panels that reflect the diversity of research fronts in the crop.
One of the central themes addresses genetic resistance to nematodes, a recurring issue in producing regions that demands integrated solutions between genetic improvement and field management. Another panel addresses the frontiers of biotechnology in soybeans, with discussions on new tools, genetic innovation, and advances in cultivar development.

Seed quality also emerges as a strategic theme in a panel that proposes to review technical concepts and clarify practices adopted in the field, highlighting the direct relationship between physiological quality and productive performance.
Concluding the technical program of the first day, the event presents a territorial overview of soybean cultivation, with an analysis of geographic expansion, regional dynamics, and land use trends in Brazil.
The expectation is to bring together around 500 participants directly involved with the production chain, reinforcing the role of the meeting in integrating public institutions, private companies, and agents in the sector.
Traditionally held in Londrina, a hub for agricultural research and home to Embrapa units, the meeting has become established as a space for scientific validation and dissemination of technologies that support the evolution of soybean production in the country.
