Market Overview

In North America, the global price benchmark for soyabean, prices climbed through 2025, rising from USD 0.417/KG in Q1 to USD 0.445/KG by Q4, a 6.7% gain, on firm export demand and healthy crush margins. The global average advanced from USD 0.413/KG to USD 0.435/KG, a 5.3% increase, with every reporting region finishing the year higher.

Soyabean is the world’s leading oilseed, crushed into protein-rich meal and edible oil. Animal feed in the form of soyabean meal is by far the largest demand driver, taking the bulk of global crush, followed by edible oil for food use, direct food products, and a growing biodiesel feedstock segment. Prices hinge on harvest size in the major exporting regions, crush margins, export demand from large importers, and freight and currency dynamics on a heavily traded commodity.

Soyabean Price Forecast for 2026

The balance heading through 2026 looks firm but not overheated. Old-crop supply has tightened after strong crush and export demand, supporting producer prices, while the prospect of a large South American harvest tempers the upside. Crush and feed demand remain healthy across all regions. The main upside risk is a weather setback in a key growing region or a surge in import buying; the main downside risk is a record harvest or a pullback in biodiesel and feed demand loosening the balance.

Region 2026 Price Range (USD/KG) Outlook
Global Average 0.405 - 0.466 Firm; tight old-crop supply and steady crush demand support prices
North America 0.416 - 0.478 Export-led firmness; crush margins and overseas demand underpin the band
South America 0.394 - 0.441 Harvest-driven; large crop caps upside but export pull lends support
India 0.411 - 0.473 Domestic crush and meal demand keep the band firm into 2026
Europe 0.399 - 0.472 Import-linked; landed costs and crush demand set the range

Soyabean Prices in North America

In Q1 2026, North American soyabean averaged USD 0.458/KG, up 2.8% from USD 0.445/KG in Q4 2025. Tight old-crop supply after a strong export and crush season kept the cost floor firm.

Soyabean Prices in North America

North American soyabean averaged USD 0.445/KG in Q4 2025, up 4.9% from USD 0.424/KG in Q3.

Soyabean Prices in South America

South American soyabean averaged USD 0.433/KG in Q4 2025, up 3.8% from USD 0.417/KG in Q3. Firm export demand and a weaker old-crop carryout supported prices ahead of the new harvest.

Indian soyabean averaged USD 0.431/KG in Q4 2025, broadly stable and down a slight 0.7% from USD 0.434/KG in Q3.

What was Soyabean Price in 2025?

Soyabean prices firmed over the course of 2025, with the global average rising from USD 0.413/KG in Q1 to USD 0.435/KG by Q4, a full-year gain of 5.3%. Three forces shaped the year: healthy crush margins that kept processors buying, firm export demand from major importing nations, and a gradual tightening of old-crop supply across the exporting regions. Every region finished higher, with North America and India posting the strongest gains.

Soyabean Prices in North America in 2025

North American prices opened Q1 2025 at USD 0.417/KG and closed Q4 at USD 0.445/KG, a full-year gain of 6.7%. The market firmed steadily through the year, dipping briefly in Q3 around harvest before strong export sales and crush demand drove a robust fourth-quarter recovery.

Soyabean Prices in South America in 2025

South American prices rose from USD 0.404/KG in Q1 2025 to USD 0.433/KG by Q4, a full-year gain of 7.2%.

Strong international offtake against a tightening old-crop carryout was the defining driver of the year.

Soyabean Prices in India in 2025

Indian prices firmed from USD 0.416/KG in Q1 2025 to USD 0.431/KG by Q4, a gain of 3.6%, before surging further in early 2026. Steady domestic crush and feed demand underpinned the market all year, with new-harvest arrivals keeping the second half range-bound. Robust domestic meal and oil demand was the dominant driver behind the firm trajectory.

Soyabean Prices in Europe in 2025

European prices moved from USD 0.416/KG in Q1 2025 to USD 0.432/KG by Q4, a full-year gain of 3.8%.
