India's Soyabean Production to Decline 8% Due to Erratic Monsoon
IN · Published Sep 11, 2026
India's soyabean production for the 2026/27 season is projected to fall by 8%, according to a report by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The decline is attributed to erratic monsoon rains and a shift in farmer preferences towards crops like cotton and corn.

Impact & Risks

The reduced soyabean production is likely to impact India's edible oil supply, leading to increased reliance on imports. Tight domestic supplies and high local prices could strain the market, affecting both consumers and industries dependent on soyabean products. Farmers in Maharashtra and other soyabean-growing regions may face economic challenges due to lower yields.
