Soybeans are one of the world's most traded agricultural commodities, used for animal feed, vegetable oil, and a wide range of food and industrial products. Prices are primarily driven by crop production in the United States, Brazil, and Argentina — which together account for the vast majority of global supply — along with demand from China, the largest importer. Weather conditions during planting and harvest seasons, biofuel policy, and currency movements in major producing nations are key price influences. The quoted price is in US cents per bushel.
