1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current trading focus of the soybean meal futures is on the weakening of spot procurement sentiment, the decline of soybean inventory in domestic oil mills, the upcoming seasonal maintenance of oil mills, and the weakening of downstream inventory replenishment sentiment. In the short - term, the domestic market is affected by the possible recovery of Brazilian shipments, and the medium - term supply is expected to be large. The rapeseed meal futures are influenced by the decline of rapeseed purchase profit and the expected return of supply in the far - month, as well as the approaching of the aquaculture stocking season in South China and the increasing cost - effectiveness of rapeseed meal [1]. - In the near - term, the supply of imported soybeans at ports and in oil mills remains at a seasonal high, the oil mill crushing volume is rising, and the downstream feed mills are starting to replenish inventory. The warehouse receipts of soybean meal and rapeseed meal are decreasing. In the long - term, the cost of imported soybeans remains high, the import profit is falling, and the procurement is slowing down. The supply gap of rapeseed meal is expected to be alleviated. The downstream pig production capacity reduction is slow, and the South American soybean harvest is expected to be abundant [5][9]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Core Contradictions - **Soybean Meal**: Spot sentiment has declined, and procurement has weakened. The overall soybean inventory in oil mills has decreased, the domestic oil mill crushing volume has increased, but there are seasonal maintenance plans. The downstream inventory replenishment has led to a weakening of trading sentiment. The US - China negotiation in April has been postponed, and the external market is concerned about the biodiesel policy meeting and the end - of - month planting area. The domestic market is affected by the possible recovery of Brazilian shipments, and the medium - term supply is large. The rapeseed futures are also under pressure [1]. - **Rapeseed Meal**: The purchase profit of rapeseed has declined, and the far - month supply is expected to return. The aquaculture stocking season in South China is approaching, and the cost - effectiveness of rapeseed meal has increased due to the widening price difference with soybean meal [1]. 3.1.2 Trading Strategy Recommendations - **Base - price Strategy**: For un - priced basis, consider pricing when the Brazilian premium starts to decline. For priced basis, be vigilant about the subsequent sales rhythm. In the medium - term decline cycle, continue to consider fixed - price procurement [19]. - **Recent Strategy Review**: After funds left the high - level, near - month funds began to shift to far - month contracts. The bottom of the far - month soybean meal is around 2,900 - 3,000, and the near - month is around 2,800 - 2,900. Hold or partially take profit on the soybean meal inter - month reverse spread [20]. - **Month - spread Strategy**: Hold the soybean meal inter - month reverse spread [21]. - **Hedging and Arbitrage Strategy**: Take profit on the widening spread between soybean meal and rapeseed meal 2605 contracts [21]. 3.1.3 Industry Customer Operation Recommendations - **Price Range Forecast**: The price range of soybean meal is 2,800 - 3,300, with a current volatility of 15.9% and a historical percentile of 46.1% over three years. The price range of rapeseed meal is 2,250 - 2,750, with a current volatility of 22.4% and a historical percentile of 66.7% over three years [22]. - **Hedging Strategy**: Traders with high protein inventory can short soybean meal futures to lock in profits. Feed mills with low inventory can buy soybean meal futures to lock in procurement costs. Oil mills worried about excessive imports can short soybean meal futures to lock in profits [22]. 3.1.4 Basic Data Overview - **Futures Prices**: The closing prices of soybean meal and rapeseed meal futures contracts have declined to varying degrees. The price of CBOT yellow soybeans remained unchanged, and the offshore RMB exchange rate increased slightly [23]. - **Price Differences**: The price differences between different contracts of soybean meal and rapeseed meal, as well as the spot - futures price differences, have changed. The spot price difference between soybean meal and rapeseed meal remained unchanged, while the futures price difference decreased [23]. - **Import Costs and Pressing Profits**: The import costs and pressing profits of soybeans and rapeseed from different regions have changed [24][26]. 3.2 This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Attention Events 3.2.1 This Week's Important Information - **Positive Information**: The Brazilian soybean harvest progress is 75%, still lagging behind last year.

The rapeseed meal futures followed the soybean meal. The key profitable seats in soybean meal and rapeseed meal have reduced long positions, and the bullish sentiment in the soybean meal options has declined. The futures month - spread of soybean meal and rapeseed meal maintains a B - structure, and the basis of soybean meal and rapeseed meal has declined [35][41][47]. - **External Market**: The external market is affected by the Middle East situation, the postponement of the US - China negotiation, and is waiting for the planting area report. The management funds in the CBOT have returned to a bullish position [58][64]. 3.4 Valuation and Profit Analysis 3.4.1 Production Area Profit Tracking - The pressing profit in the US soybean production area has increased, while the profits in the South American production areas of Brazil and Argentina have decreased due to the decline in product prices. The domestic pressing profit of Canadian rapeseed has slightly increased [70]. 3.4.2 Import - Export and Pressing Profit Tracking - For imported soybeans, if the Brazilian shipments recover, the estimated arrivals in April are 8.5 million tons and 10.5 million tons in May. The pressing profit of imported rapeseed from Canada has declined, but the supply is expected to improve [75]. 3.5 Supply - Demand and Inventory Deduction 3.5.1 International Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Deduction - **US**: The USDA March supply - demand report shows that the soybean planting area, harvest area, yield, production, export, and ending inventory in the 2025/26 season are the same as in February, with an increase in imports and crushing volume. The market expects an increase in the US soybean planting area in 2026 [96][97]. - **South America**: The USDA March supply - demand report shows that the expected soybean production in Argentina in the 2025/26 season has decreased, while the production and export in Brazil remain unchanged [98]. 3.5.2 Domestic Supply - Side and Deduction - The arrival pressure of imported soybeans in the second quarter will suppress the price of the main M05 contract. After the tariff reduction between China and Canada, the supply pressure of rapeseed is also expected to return [99]. 3.5.3 Domestic Demand - Side and Deduction - The domestic soybean supply in the first quarter is still abundant, and the pressing volume is expected to remain high. After the previous high - level inventory replenishment of domestic soybean meal, the subsequent consumption is difficult to increase significantly [102]. 3.5.4 Domestic Inventory - Side and Deduction - The domestic soybean inventory will decline in the first quarter and start to increase after the arrival of Brazilian soybeans in the second quarter, and the soybean meal inventory will follow [104].

Core Views of the Report - **Soybean Oil**: The main 05 contract of soybean oil was running strongly this week, closing at 8,688 yuan/ton on Friday afternoon, up 60 yuan/ton. After the final determination of the new renewable fuel standard, the market more reflected the fulfillment of bullish expectations and traded the bearish expectation of next week's area report. The tense situation in the Middle East continued, and crude oil continued to rise, which was beneficial to oils and fats. The volume of Brazilian soybean customs clearance and inspection increased recently, alleviating the near - term supply concerns. The bullish drivers for soybean oil continued, and the far - month contracts would still be supported by the cost side. It was advisable to consider laying out long positions for the 09 contract. The support level of the 09 contract was 8,460 - 8,500 yuan/ton, and the resistance level was 8,800 - 8,810 yuan/ton [3]. - **Rapeseed Oil**: The rapeseed oil futures fluctuated widely at a high level this week. The main 2605 contract settled up 0.37% at 9,692. Geopolitical uncertainties remained, and oil prices were running strongly, so the prices of oils and fats still had support. Fundamentally, Indonesia was considering restarting the B50 plan, which drove the market sentiment high. High - frequency data showed that the export of Malaysian palm oil in March increased significantly month - on - month, and the inventory in the main producing areas might continue to decline. In China, the demand side was still sluggish, and with the concentrated arrival of purchased ships, the domestic inventory pressure was still high. It was advisable to wait for the market to stabilize before considering adding long positions. The resistance level of the main contract was in the range of 10,200 - 10,220, and the support level was in the range of 9,400 - 9,410 [3]. - **Palm Oil**: The palm oil showed a volatile and slightly stronger trend this week. Geopolitical conflicts significantly pushed up diesel prices, the POGO spread continued to narrow, and Indonesia's consideration of restarting the B50 plan drove the market's bullish sentiment high. Fundamentally, the February MPOB report was overall bearish, but with the increase of export taxes in Indonesia in March, the export in March increased significantly month - on - month, and the main producing areas might continue to destock. The Indonesian president's speech temporarily increased the market's concerns about future exports. However, it should be noted that the recent energy price fluctuations had increased, and the subsequent evolution of the Middle East situation still had great uncertainties. It was necessary to be vigilant against the decline risk caused by the high - level correction of oil prices. It was advisable to wait for the market to stabilize before adding long positions. The resistance level of the main contract was in the range of 10,200 - 10,220, and the support level was in the range of 9,400 - 9,410 [4]. - **Soybean No. 2 and Soybean Meal**: This week, CBOT soybeans fluctuated and adjusted, and the prices of DCE soybean No. 2 and soybean meal fell significantly.

It was expected that the downward adjustment space of CBOT soybeans was not large, and the subsequent trend was still bullish. The downside of South American basis was limited, and China's soybean import cost continued to rise, restricting the further decline of soybean No. 2 and soybean meal prices. The far - month cost side support continued. It was advisable to consider laying out long positions for the 09 contract after the correction, and it was not recommended to go long on the near - month contracts for the time being. The support level of the main 09 contract of soybean meal was 2,960 - 2,980 yuan/ton, and the resistance level was 3,080 - 3,100 yuan/ton. The support level of the main 05 contract of soybean No. 2 was 3,650 - 3,680, and the resistance level was 3,800 - 3,830 yuan/ton [4][5]. - **Rapeseed Meal**: The rapeseed meal futures fell continuously this week. The settlement price of the main 2605 contract decreased by 4.46% week - on - week to 2,315. Geopolitical uncertainties remained, oil prices were running strongly, and Canadian rapeseed remained at a high level. After the improvement of China - Canada relations, domestic ship purchases increased continuously, and there was a large expected increase in supply. With the warming of the weather, the demand for aquaculture had a certain increase. After the crushing profit of Canadian rapeseed on the futures market continued to decline to a low level, the subsequent import cost might have a certain support. The short - term rapeseed meal price might continue the trend of fluctuating and bottom - hunting. It was advisable to wait and see for the time being and wait for the opportunity to go long after the stabilization. The support level of the RM contract was 2,280 - 2,300, and the resistance level was 2,500 - 2,510 [5]. - **Soybean No. 1**: The main futures price of soybean No. 1 fell this week. Recently, the local reserve of domestic soybeans was frequently put on the market, and some local reserves failed to be sold at auction, changing the previous situation of premium transactions. The auction volume on the 26th increased to 100,000 tons, with a transaction rate of 62.4%, but the premium of 0 - 30 yuan was significantly lower than before. This reflected that in the context of the high valuation of domestic soybeans, the market's expectation for the future price was not very optimistic. At present, domestic soybean sources were mainly concentrated in the middle and upper reaches. The middle and upper reaches once held back sales at high prices, which led to a significant increase in domestic soybean prices. The downstream had an obvious resistance to high - priced soybeans, and there was an obvious game in the industrial chain. With the increase in temperature, the storage difficulty of domestic soybeans increased, and the reserve supply increased. The price - holding mentality of the middle and upper reaches slowed down, the trading volume of domestic soybeans gradually increased, and the price fluctuated downward. At present, the valuation of soybean No. 1 was high and the bullish drivers were weakening. It was expected to fluctuate and decline in the short term. It was advisable to consider lightly shorting the main 05 contract of soybean No. 1. The resistance level of the 05 contract was 4,740 - 4,760 yuan/ton, and the support level was 4,400 - 4,450 yuan/ton [6]. - **Corn and Corn Starch**: The futures prices showed a trend of rising first and then falling this week. The market had great differences between bulls and bears, and the short - term futures prices might fluctuate repeatedly. In the external market, the ending inventory of US corn was at a high level, which suppressed the price. However, the supply - demand situation of the new season continued to improve. Coupled with the recent upward shift of the crude oil price center, the cost - side support was strengthened, and the net long positions of CFTC increased. It was judged that the US corn futures prices would generally continue to move up. In the domestic corn market, the emotional disturbance continued, and the futures prices were expected to fluctuate repeatedly. In terms of supply - demand, the concentrated selling pressure of rural farmers and the increase in wheat supply, and the news of rice auctions recently, had a certain suppression on the price. However, the low channel inventory and the tight supply of high - quality grain sources limited the decline space of the futures prices. In the corn starch market, the demand returned to a moderate state, the spot price increase slowed down, and the geopolitical sentiment support still existed. The futures prices were expected to fluctuate repeatedly. It was advisable to pay attention to the opportunity of going long on dips. The support range of the 2605 contract of corn was 2,280 - 2,300, and the resistance range was 2,480 - 2,500. The support range of the 05 contract of corn starch was 2,670 - 2,680, and the resistance range was 2,880 - 2,900. It was advisable to consider selling out - of - the - money put options for option operations [6]. - **Hogs**: The spot price of hogs was generally stable with a slight upward trend over the weekend, and the prices in some low - price areas stopped falling, but the decline of the prices of culled sows and piglets widened. The national average price of standard hogs was 9.50 yuan/kg, up about 0.02 yuan/kg compared with last Friday. In the middle of the month, relevant departments of the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs organized a symposium for hog - breeding enterprises to analyze and judge the price situation and arrange market regulation work. It was expected that the purchase and storage efforts would increase. The slaughter volume rebounded significantly week - on - week last week, but slaughtering enterprises still suffered losses. At present, the number of breeding sows was 39.61 million, a decrease of 1.16 million, a decline of 2.9%, and it was currently 101.6% of the normal inventory, still higher than the green range. In March, the price of piglets fell against the season, the loss of self - breeding and self - raising expanded, the slaughter weight continued to rebound, and farmers were forced to hold back sales. At present, the far - month contracts of hog futures showed a premium over the near - end spot and near - month contracts. The near - end spot pressure was relatively large, and the month - to - month relationship remained weak in the near term and strong in the far term. In the medium term, waiting for further confirmation of capacity reduction, the far - month premium might continue to widen. Cautious investors could hold the arbitrage strategy of shorting near - month contracts and going long on far - month contracts. The 2605 contract was expected to fluctuate in the range of 9,500 - 10,200 as support and 10,300 - 10,600 as resistance. Aggressive investors could wait for the release of spot pressure in the medium term and lightly go long on the 2607 contract near 11,000 points. For options, it was advisable to hold a covered call strategy combination, that is, hold long futures positions + sell deep out - of - the - money call options [7][8]. - **Eggs**: The spot price of eggs continued to rebound over the weekend, terminal consumption improved, farmers' enthusiasm for culling hens decreased, and the age of culled hens rebounded. The egg futures prices rose first and then fell recently. The far - month contracts in the industry increased their positions and declined to repair the excessive discount to the spot. The national average spot price was about 3.25 yuan/jin, up 0.05 yuan/jin compared with last Friday. At present, the average cash cost of eggs in the industry followed the prices of corn and soybean meal and rebounded to 2.95 - 3.05 yuan/jin, and the breeding once again showed seasonal losses. In terms of production capacity, after farmers continued to suffer deep losses since the fourth quarter, the culling of hens also increased. At the same time, the number of newly - opened laying hens from February to March was relatively small, which led to a certain relief of the supply pressure. The supply - demand pressure might continue to improve. In terms of futures prices, the far - month peak - season contracts of eggs maintained a large premium over the current off - season spot. Cautious investors were advised to wait and see. Aggressive investors could go long on the 05 contract below 3,400 points in the short term. It was necessary to be cautious about shorting near - month contracts in the historical low - price range. The support level of the 2605 contract was 3,400 - 3,450 points, and the resistance level was 3,500 - 3,550 points [8]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The short - term trend of soybean meal is expected to continue a slight adjustment, and attention should be paid to the release of the estimated planting area of US soybeans at the end of the month. The increase in the estimated planting area of US soybeans and the recovery of Brazilian soybean shipments put pressure on US soybeans, and the easing of the Middle - East situation also exerts downward pressure on the entire commodity market [1][2]. - The decline of the oil sector is relatively restrained. Future attention should be focused on the US biofuel blending obligation volume and the development of the Middle - East situation. The social media message of Trump led to the decline of the crude oil and oil sectors, but the Iran issue is still ongoing and the US biofuel policy is about to be announced [2][3]. 3. Summary by Related Content Soybean Meal - The expected planting area of US soybeans in 2026 is 86.1 million acres, higher than 81.2 million acres in 2025 and the 85 million acres predicted by the USDA in February. The expected planting area of US corn in 2026 is 94.4 million acres, lower than 98.8 million acres in 2025 but slightly higher than the 94 million acres predicted by the USDA in February [1]. - China has agreed to abandon the zero - tolerance policy for weeds in soybean shipments at ports, but the specific implementation depends on further bilateral negotiations. From March 1 - 20, 2026, the soybean export volume in Brazil was 9.5 million tons, with a daily average export volume of 633,435 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 17.9%. The average export price of soybeans so far in March is $408.0 per ton, a year - on - year increase of 5.4% [1]. Oil - The US EPA is in the final stage of issuing the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) biofuel mandatory blending rules and will complete the decision by the end of the month. The US President will announce new biofuel blending quotas on Friday. The proposed mandatory blending volume of renewable fuels in 2026 is about 24.002 billion gallons and 24.46 billion gallons in 2027, higher than 22.33 billion gallons in 2025 [2]. - From March 1 - 25, 2026, the export volume of Malaysian palm oil was 1,389,549 tons, a 51% increase compared to the same period last month [2].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Views Corn - The expected planting area of US corn in 2026 is 94.4 million acres, lower than 98.8 million acres in 2025 but slightly higher than the USDA's February forecast. The EPA is in the final stage of issuing biofuel blending rules and will make a decision by the end of the month. The ongoing US - Iran conflict boosts international oil prices and freight rates, which is positive for the international corn market and also benefits the domestic market. In the domestic market, as the corn purchase price in the Northeast region rises, the willingness of grain - holding entities to sell increases. High - temperature environments increase the risk of mildew, and the supply of high - moisture grain is rising. Drying towers are cautious in purchasing, and the inventory of processing enterprises has slightly increased, putting pressure on price increases. The trading volume and price of government - supported wheat auctions have declined this week, enhancing the feed substitution effect of wheat. Feed enterprises have increased wheat procurement, diverting the demand for feed corn. There are rumors of a rice auction in April, which may have a negative impact on corn prices. Corn futures prices are oscillating at a high level, and short - term trading is recommended [2]. Corn Starch - The supply of raw - material corn has increased recently, leading to a rise in the operating rate of corn starch enterprises. The industry's operating rate has increased month - on - month, and the supply - side pressure has increased. The industry's inventory pressure has also slightly rebounded. As of March 25, the total starch inventory of national corn starch enterprises was 1.217 million tons, an increase of 14,000 tons from last week, with a weekly increase of 1.16% and a monthly increase of 1.59%, and a year - on - year decrease of 10.71%. However, supported by the favorable price of raw - material corn, the starch spot market performs well. Recently, the starch market has maintained a relatively strong oscillation [3]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an overall industry investment rating, but it indicates that the oil and粕 market is in a weak and volatile state [1][4] Core Viewpoints - The soybean meal market shows a marginal destocking trend but remains at a relatively high level in the same period of history. The near - month futures of soybean meal have strong support for auction transactions, while the far - month contracts are expected to remain volatile. The oil market is in a weak trend, and after the negative factors of palm oil and rapeseed oil are gradually realized, the market may enter a volatile phase again. The delay of the US biofuel policy may prolong the period of weak and volatile oil prices, and there is no upward driving factor in the short term [2][4] Summary by Related Content Soybean Meal - NOPA data shows that the US soybean crushing volume in November decreased by 5.1% from the record high in October but increased by 11.8% compared with the same period in 2024. As of last Thursday, the sown area of soybeans in the 2025/26 season in Brazil reached 97% of the expected area, with good rainfall in most producing areas [1] - As of December 12, 2025, the domestic main oil mills' soybean meal inventory was 110.36 million tons, a decrease of 5.73 million tons from the previous week. The second batch of imported soybean auctions in China sold 513,883 tons today, with a transaction rate of 62.88% and a transaction volume of 323,118 tons. The premium level in Shandong and Tianjin regions decreased significantly compared with last week [2] Oils Palm Oil - From December 1 - 15, 2025, Malaysia's palm oil exports decreased by 15.89% compared with the same period last month, and the production decreased by 2.97% compared with the same period last month. Palm oil is in a stage of strong supply and weak demand in the short term and will maintain a weak trend [3][4] Rapeseed Oil - Due to the strong foreign production increase expectation and the arrival of Australian rapeseed, the premium of rapeseed oil has significantly retreated. After continuous decline, the market has returned to rationality. Future attention should be paid to rapeseed purchases in the next quarter and the possibility of restarting purchases of Canadian rapeseed [3] Soybean Oil - The domestic soybean oil market is in a period of loose supply and demand, with no obvious driving force. The US biofuel policy has been postponed to the first quarter of next year, and the buying power of US soybean oil will remain weak before the policy is implemented [3]

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. government's decision to delay the import biofuel subsidy reduction plan from 2026 to potentially 2027 or 2028 has caused significant market reactions, particularly affecting soybean farmers and the biofuel industry [1][3][34] Policy Reversal Impact - The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) initially planned to halve the Renewable Identification Number (RIN) credits for imported biofuels starting January 2026, which would have reduced the competitive advantage of imported waste cooking oil, pushing refineries to buy more domestic soybean and canola oil [5][9] - The sudden policy change is primarily driven by concerns over rising fuel prices, as the biofuel industry heavily relies on imported raw materials [7][9] - The postponement of the subsidy reduction has led to a 2% drop in Chicago soybean oil futures, reflecting immediate market reactions [13][16] Market Reactions - The delay in policy implementation is expected to result in a reassessment of planting strategies among soybean farmers, as the attractiveness of soybeans compared to corn and cotton diminishes without policy support [15][22] - The U.S. biodiesel industry will continue to depend on imported waste oils and animal fats, easing competitive pressures on suppliers from the EU and Southeast Asia [16][22] Long-term Trends - The EPA's long-term goal remains to reduce import dependency and enhance domestic biofuel competitiveness, aligning with the "America First" energy policy [23][28] - Future biodiesel blending quotas are likely to increase, indicating a growing demand for biofuels despite the current policy delay [26][31] - The existing biodiesel production capacity significantly exceeds the proposed quotas, suggesting that large refineries may control output to stabilize RIN prices [31][33] Strategic Considerations - Investors should recognize that policy variables are critical in the oilseed market, often more influential than weather or inventory levels [28][30] - The interplay between energy transition, inflation pressures, and political maneuvering will continue to shape the market landscape for U.S. soybean farmers and related industries [34][36]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating. 2. Core Views of the Report - The report anticipates a differentiated trend in the oil and fat market and suggests waiting for opportunities for supply - demand resonance. It provides investment advice on unilateral trading, basis trading, inter - month arbitrage, and cross - variety spread trading for different types of oils [1][2]. - Palm oil is expected to be short - term volatile and long - term bullish; soybean oil is short - term bearish and medium - term neutral; rapeseed oil shows a near - strong and far - weak pattern with a wait - and - see approach for unilateral trading [8]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Review - In Q3 2025, the futures prices of the three major domestic oils showed differentiation. Palm oil prices were volatile from July to September, affected by Indonesia's policies and Malaysia's inventory and demand. Soybean oil prices were range - bound due to factors like US soybean production and potential biodiesel demand. Rapeseed oil prices strengthened due to supply shortages and inventory depletion [9]. 3.2 Global Oil and Fat Supply - Demand Overview 3.2.1 Global Oilseeds - In the 2025/26 season, global oilseeds are expected to be in a tighter situation. The ending inventory is estimated to be 143.08 million tons, with a stock - to - consumption ratio of 16.1%, down 0.13 percentage points year - on - year. Demand growth exceeds inventory growth [12][13]. 3.2.2 Global Oils and Fats - The global oil and fat market is becoming increasingly tight, mainly driven by the growing demand for biodiesel. Production is expected to reach 234.69 million tons in 2025/26, up 2.47% year - on - year, while demand is expected to reach 229.28 million tons, up 3.04% [14]. 3.3 Palm Oil Origin Situation 3.3.1 Malaysia - The traditional palm oil production reduction season in Malaysia is approaching in Q4, and there may be an early reduction in September due to abnormal precipitation and floods. Exports in September are expected to increase before the Indian Festival of Lights, and inventory is expected to decline slightly [17][21]. 3.3.2 Indonesia - In 2025, Indonesia's palm oil production is expected to increase, with cumulative production from January to July reaching 33.496 million tons, up 3.35 million tons year - on - year. Domestic consumption is increasing due to the implementation of B40, and exports have not decreased as expected [25][30]. 3.4 Soybean Origin Situation 3.4.1 Brazil - In the 2024/25 season, Brazil's soybean production is estimated to be 171.47 million tons, up 13.3% year - on - year. Exports are expected to be 106.65 million tons, up 8% year - on - year. The implementation of B15 in 2025 will increase the demand for soybean oil. There is a high probability of a La Nina event in winter 2025, which may affect new - crop yields [35][38]. 3.4.2 United States - In the 2025/26 season, the US soybean planting area is estimated to be 81.1 million acres, down about 7% year - on - year. As of September 21, 2025, the good - to - excellent rate was 61%. The total production is estimated to be 4.301 billion bushels. The new RVO proposed by the EPA will increase the demand for vegetable oils [40][55]. 3.5 Rapeseed Origin Situation 3.5.1 Canada - In the 2025/26 season, Canada's rapeseed planting area is expected to decrease by 2.0% year - on - year, but production is expected to increase by 4.1% due to higher yields. Exports have been poor due to China's anti - dumping measures [58][64]. 3.6 Major Consumer Countries' Situation 3.6.1 India - In August 2025, India's imports of palm oil, sunflower oil, and rapeseed oil reached a peak due to pre - festival stocking. In September, imports decreased slightly but remained at a high level. After the Festival of Lights, consumption will enter a seasonal off - season [69][70]. 3.6.2 China - For palm oil, imports are expected to weaken in Q4, and inventory is expected to remain around 500,000 tons from October to November. For soybean oil, imports are affected by Sino - US trade frictions, and supply is increasing. For rapeseed oil, production is affected by raw material shortages, and inventory is expected to decline rapidly [73][90]. 3.7 Spread Situation 3.7.1 Basis - Palm oil basis is expected to be weak in Q4; soybean oil basis is expected to oscillate weakly; rapeseed oil basis is expected to strengthen [93]. 3.7.2 Inter - month Spread - For the 1 - 5 spread in Q4, palm oil has a positive arbitrage logic, soybean oil has a reverse arbitrage logic, and rapeseed oil has a positive arbitrage logic [100]. 3.7.3 Cross - Variety Spread - In Q4, it is recommended to go long on palm oil or rapeseed oil and short on soybean oil [102].
