According to AgRurual, the Brazilian soybean planting is no 81% complete as of November 20. this is down from 86% a year ago at this time, and there are some concerns over irregular rainfall in Mato Grosso and Goiás states.
Yesterday’s export inspections for soybeans were 799k tons which was down from last week’s 1,205k and down from 2,120k a year ago. Top destinations were to Bangladesh, Algeria, and Taiwan.
