· India’s SOPA is optimistic India could increase soybean meal exports to 2.5-3.0 million tons in 2018-19, up from 1.75 million tons in 2017-18. Soybean production is up and India has been campaigning to open exports of oilmeal to China. Recently 300,000 tons of soybean meal has been contracted for Japan, Europe, and Vietnam at around $370/ton.
· Univia estimates France’s rapeseed area will decline 150,000-200,000 hectares to 1.5 million hectares this year, in part to drought.

· Indonesia will leave its palm export tax unchanged at zero percent (will be left there as long as palm prices remain below $750/ton).
· Several bearish comments emerged out of a conference in Asia. One analyst thinks the price of crude palm oil when imported into Rotterdam will decline to $590/ton and soybean oil at $700/ton. Another thinks an ongoing trade war will reduce the price of soybeans below $8.00/bu.

The primary destinations were the Dominican Republic (9,500 MT), Guatemala (4,500 MT), Jamaica (3,000 MT), and Mexico (1,800 MT).
We think palm prices are nearing a bottom. Rising palm production and India’s import tariff on selected vegetable oils are bearish, but higher SBO and Brent Crude may eventually stop the medium-term erosion of palm prices.
