Industry Outlook & Drivers

Global Soyabean Market Outlook

The global soybean supply has been witnessing a steady growth of 6.7 percent CAGR during 2013 –2018 crop years. The crop supply for 2018/2019 is expected to improve by 3.5 percent against the current crop year 2017/2018
The anticipated increase in supply is primarily due to high-ending stocks for 2017/2018
Tight soybean meal has been witnessed lately and has been supporting the soybean demand in 2017/2018 and could also be observed in H1 2018/2019

Contract Structure

Large buyers, such as crushing mills (~85–90 percent of the global soybean supplies) procure soybean in three months contracts
The feed and food industry buyers are small scale buyers and usually opt for medium to long-term contracts

Price Benchmarking

Soybean prices and contract structures are majorly fixed by the suppliers using CBOT futures. The basis and freight costs are added to the CBOT prices based on the destination. Usually, the basis is calculated as the difference between cash and futures prices
The profit margin depends on the time of buying and selling, which is driven by the supply scenario of the given crop-year

Global Soybean Supply–Demand Analysis

The US and Brazil remain the largest soybean producers, accounting for about 70 percent of the global production

Market Outlook – 2017/2018

The global production and consumption of soybean from 2013 – 2014 to 2017 – 2018 grew at a CAGR of 4.5 percent and 5.5 percent, respectively
Soybean consumption is expected to grow by 4.5 percent in 2018 – 2019 crop year, and the production could improve compared to the previous year
The major soybean producing regions are the US, Brazil, and Argentina, which consist of about 82 percent of the global soybeans produce

Global Soybean Trade Dynamics

Brazil and the US are the largest soybean exporting countries, accounting for about 86 percent of the global exports, while China is the largest importer of soybean.

Procurement Insights

Best Sourcing Months

Based on the seasonality of soybean, the prices of soybeans are expected to witness the lowest levels during the months of October, November, and December in the crop-year
The soybean prices are the lowest high arrivals of soybeans crops during these months

Best Sourcing Regions

The best sourcing regions for soybeans are the US, Brazil, and Argentina
Although the prices of soybean are the lowest in Argentina (this is due to currency devaluation), there are a lot of political uncertainties in the country, which limits the sourcing preferences. Brazilian soybeans are the most expensive, and hence the US is a viable option to source soybeans

Benzoic Acid Supply Scenario Contract Structures

Soybean prices and contract structures are fixed by the US suppliers by adding CBOT Futures, basis, and freight costs. Basis is the difference between cash and future prices. Profit margin depends on the time of buying and commodity selling
