India soybean imports hit 7.77 lakh tonnes by end-June; SOPA sees 9 lakh tonnes in 2025-26
India's soybean imports surged to 7.77 lakh tonnes by end-June versus 2,000 tonnes last season as domestic arrivals and supplies lag, prompting SOPA to lift full-year import expectations to 9 lakh tonnes. Soymeal export estimates were cut as higher local prices and firm feed demand redirect supply to the domestic market. The data point signals tighter regional balance sheets and stronger import-linked demand for soybeans in the near term.
