The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report helps to provide a common, timely, and unbiased understanding of current agricultural conditions with a globally comprehensive look at key agricultural markets.
The U.S. Soybean Export Council’s (USSEC) webcast aims to provide a deep dive each month into the most recent WASDE. This month, USSEC CEO Jim Sutter, USSEC CEO Jim Sutter; Ken Eriksen, Senior Vice President, IHS Markit; Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist, StoneX Group Inc.; and USSEC Regional Director – Americas Carlos Salinas joined me to provide perspective on the August 2020 WASDE.

During this virtual event, I presented the following slides to offer insight into the U.S. soy complex for the current (19/20) and upcoming (20/21) marketing years. As illustrated in the slides, overall demand for U.S. Soy remains strong both domestically and internationally. Exports and their continued growth are critical for the U.S. soy complex; currently, nearly 60 percent of U.S. soy products are exported. Long-term demand growth continues at a strong pace and U.S. Soy is well-positioned to serve the global market.
