Uruguay to increase soybean production in 2026/27 season
In Ukraine, UkrAgroConsult reported that soybean production in Uruguay is expected to rebound sharply in the 2026-2027 season.
The industry is projected to fully recover from the dry previous season, according to a report from the USDA Foreign Agricultural Information Service (FAS).
Experts expect a significant increase in gross harvest and yield: soybean production will rise to 3.1 million tons (compared to 1.95 million tons in the 2025-2026 season). The cultivated area will expand by 50,000 hectares to 1.3 million hectares, and yields will return to the national average of 2.4 tons per hectare, according to the report.
Uruguay plans to increase export shipments to 2.8 million tons, an increase of 700,000 tons compared to last year.
The report noted that China will remain the leading purchaser, accounting for 80-90% of Uruguay’s total soybean exports.
