VIEW PROFILE
The total global soybean production in 2013 season was expected to be 288 million MT. Out of this amount, the production from the G3 soybean producers, USA, Brazil and Argentina plays a crucial role. These three countries together produced 233 million MT or 80% of the global production.

The most interesting development in 2013 was the production by Brazil which came to 89 million MT, thus overtaking the USA as the biggest soybean producer in the world. The USA has historically been the biggest soybean producer in the world and the performance by Brazil was certainly impressive. Among the reasons for this development was the favourable weather in South America prompting higher plantings and harvesting in Brazil and farmers in the USA preference for corn as opposed to soybean due to better prices.

This paper will look into the various aspects in the prospects of the development of soybean production in the G3 countries in 2014. An overview of previous production patterns will be presented and will give our forecast an the role the G3 soybean production will play in the global oils & fats development in 2014.
