In 2020, the Maharashtra Government had directed the administration to begin operations at procurement centres by mid-October, in order to avoid exploitation of farmers by traders, once the Kharif harvest was ready. The soybean market in recent months has maintained a strong trend owing to reductions in domestic crop production estimates, increase in demand outlook and downward revisions in the carry forward estimates versus earlier projections. Strong upside rallies in edible oils had also favored the upward price action.
Soybean meal export demand has been moderate so far, but market participants are now expecting overseas purchase queries to emerge now since the Indian soy meal export offers are competitive versus its peer suppliers.
