Soybeans tradeExports minus imports, million tonnes, 2024

Summary

Countries reported exporting 179 Mt of soybeans in 2024, 3% more than in 2023. The largest net exporters: Brazil 98.0 Mt, the United States 51.7 Mt and Paraguay 8.0 Mt. The largest net importers: China 105 Mt, Mexico 6.6 Mt and Thailand 3.9 Mt.

184 countries and territories have a figure for 2024. 1 more reported a figure for one of the two years before but not yet for 2024; they are hatched on the map. Net trade is exports minus imports, as each country reports them to FAOSTAT; one country’s exports and its partners’ imports often differ. Flows on the map are the largest in 2023, as importers report them.
