Paranaguá. The export performance of soybeans and soymeal from the Latin American nation of Brazil continues to be robust. Demand remains strong in key importing countries, presenting exporters with a favorable opportunity to boost shipments.

According to official statistics, Brazil exported a total of 2.183 million tonnes of soymeal in April 2025; in contrast, during the period of April 1–17, 2026, shipments reached 1.483 million tonnes—representing 68 percent of the previous year's total. This pace of exports has been observed to be faster than that of the previous year.

Brazil's Secretariat of Foreign Trade states that if this current pace of shipments is sustained, the country's total soymeal exports for April 2026 will not only surpass the figures from April 2025 but could also reach a new record high for the month of April.

It is noteworthy that Brazil—situated on the South American continent—is the world's leading producer and exporter of soybeans, while it ranks second globally in soymeal exports, following Argentina. While Brazil exports these commodities to numerous countries worldwide, India specifically imports only soybean oil from the nation.
