Learn more about the historical volatility, recent fluctuations, and international influences on soybean prices.

The US soybean farming industry is navigating significant changes in the current period, with soybean prices determining the initial rise and recent decline in industry performance. These prices have been influenced by several key factors, including the growing demand for biofuels and mixed consumer perceptions regarding soy products. The demand for soybean oil in biofuel production surged due to supportive policies like the Renewable Fuel Standard and rising crude oil prices, creating a lucrative market for soybean producers. However, subsequent drops in fertilizer and crude oil prices, paired with record-high soybean production, have sharply dropped soybean prices, bringing revenue and profit down with them as farmers struggle to balance costs with lower incomes. Industry has shrunk a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.6%, with a decrease of 8.7% in 2025, reaching an estimated $44.2 billion. US soybean exports are facing mounting challenges due to competitive pressures abroad and quickly evolving trade policy. Brazil’s increased production and improved export infrastructure have strengthened its position as a major supplier, particularly to China, which is reducing its reliance on US soybeans. This shift threatens US exports and compels American farmers to reassess their strategies, focusing on market diversification and emphasizing quality and sustainability to remain competitive. Rising geopolitical tensions and newly imposed tariffs, such as those affecting key markets like the EU, Canada and China, have further complicated trade, impacting US farmers' access and pricing power in these vital markets. Through the end of 2025, soybean prices are initially projected to decline due to increased production and growing global supplies. However, as climate change impacts crop yields through extreme weather and pest challenges and supplies become limited prices will be pushed upward alongside rising global demand. Subsidies will continue to play a vital role in supporting farmer incomes amids these fluctuations, providing some stability to an otherwise highly volatile industry. However, the industry faces significant uncertainty due to the ongoing USDA funding freeze is creating significant uncertainty, particularly where government support and subsidies are concerned. This freeze is affecting a wide range of agricultural programs including conservation efforts, market development, research and technical assistance. Over the next five years, the industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.3%, with revenues reaching $47.1 billion by the end of 2030.
