BRAZIL SOYBEAN EXPORTS HAVE BEEN SURGING THIS YEAR - BANCHERO COSTA
Banchero CostaBrazil soybean exports have been surging this year, thanks to a combination of strong demand from China, a bumper crop, and favourable exchange rates. In the first 4 months of 2020, Brazil exported at least 35.5 mln tonnes of soybeans by sea, according to vessel tracking data from Refinitiv, says Banchero Costa in its latest weekly research report.
 
The report further said, this represents a net increase of +30.6% y-o-y, compared to the 27.2  mln  tonnes exported in the same four-month period of 2019, and also +21.6% up from the 29.2 mln tonnes exported in the same period of 2018. Of these 35.5 mln tonnes, 66.8% or23.7 mln tonnes were destined for China. Volumes to China this year increased by +25.9% y-o-y. A further 4.4 mln tonnes, accounting for 12.4% of the total, were shipped to Europe – primarily the Netherlands and Spain.
 
Shipments to the Netherlands increased by +56.8% y-o-y, but to Spain increased by only +4.4%. 1.2 mln tonnes, or 3.4%  of  the total, were shipped to Turkey, and
0.8 mln tonnes, 2.2%, to Thailand. Shipments to Turkey this year surged by +69.2% y-o-y, the report said.
 
The report also noted that, the start of the year was not very promising though. On a single-month basis, January 2020 was down -41.6%  m-o-m from December 2019, and -31.7% year-on-year from January 2019 to just 1.5 mln tonnes,  due to unfavourable weather in Brazil and the start of the epidemic in China. However, things turned around in a spectacular fashion. Already in February, exports from Brazil increased to 6.7 mln tonnes, +332% m-o-m and +3.4% y-o-y.
 
In March 2020 loadings increased again to 13.0 mln tonnes, up +95% m-o-m and +38.7% y-o-y. April 2020 recorded a further surge to 14.2 mln tonnes, a +9.2% increase m-o-m and +57.0% y-o-y, breaking the record set in March. Among them, 9.2 mln tonnes (66%) of the shipments are destined for China and 0.9 mln tonnes (9%) are headed to unknown destinations.
 
April exports to China increased by at least 3 mln tonnes (+50%) from last year. Demand for soybeans in China remains robust, as the country has been recovering quite quickly from the virus emergency. China has also been slowing down its purchases of USA soybeans in recent months, as they are less price competitive.
 
The sharp depreciation of the Brazilian Real means that interior soybean prices in Brazil continue to increase relative to the U.S. Dollar while global export prices of Brazil soybean  remain competitive relative to its counterparts. Record high domestic prices and a bumper soybean harvest in 2019/20  (124  mln  tonnes according to Refinitiv Agriculture Research), will guarantee sufficient soybean supplies while restoring hog stocks should increase China's demand for soybeans. Soybean exports in the following months may decline gradually from April's peak, in line with normal seasonality (see graph below) but will remain strong relative to the same period of previous years.
 
The latest Williams soya line-up report (released on 05 May) indicates that 11.6 mln tonnes of soybeans are scheduled to ship from Brazil in May.
 
The big unknown however is if the rampaging coronavirus epidemic in Brazil can affect logistics and port operations in coming weeks.
