The global soybean trade plays a crucial role in supporting food security, livestock feed, and biofuel production. Among the major soybean exporting countries, the United States, Argentina, and Brazil dominate the market, accounting for nearly 90% of global exports in 2024. Their strong production capacity and advanced supply chain not only shape international price trends, but also affect the supply-demand balance in Asia, Europe, and other major consumer regions.
In the future, global soybean exporting countries will continue to focus on the Americas, while the participation of emerging markets may gradually increase, but the overall impact on the market landscape is limited.

United States ($2.56B, 35.63%)
The U.S. is the world’s largest soybean exporter, mainly supplying China, the EU, and Mexico.
Argentina ($2.22B, 30.93%)
Argentina leverages the Pampas region’s agriculture to remain a major soybean exporter in South America.
Brazil ($1.56B, 21.65%)
Brazil, one of the largest soybean producers, continues to expand exports, especially to Asian markets.

Small and medium-sized exporting countries (such as Thailand, Paraguay, Canada, etc.) often rely on regional markets or specialty products to form supplements.
Emerging exporting countries (Nigeria, Russia) are increasing their production capacity and are expected to expand their international market share in the future.
The total exports of countries in the Americas (the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Canada, Bolivia) exceed 92%, highlighting the core position of the Americas in the global soybean industry chain.
