The monthly supply side update also added 100k acres for a net production reduction of 59 mbu vs. August. The trade was looking for a 55 mbu cut. The demand side lost 45 mbu. That put carryout at 220 mbu, 25 mbu tighter than the month prior’s forecast. On the world stage production fell by 1.5 MMT, and global soybean carryout was 150k MT tighter to 119.25 MMT.
Abiove estimates Brazil’s 2023 soybean export of 99 MMT, +500k from their prior forecast. That comes off a 157.3 MMT production outlook.
