    .
    However, the prospects for soybean production in South America are bright, and China's demand is uncertain, restricting the rising trend of the oilseed market
    .

      Rapeseed continues to play a leading role

    Tight supply and strong demand have prompted speculative funds to continue to increase their holdings in the rapeseed market on the ICE exchange, pushing prices to new highs
    .
    The rapeseed market needs to increase prices to ensure that farmers have a variety of rapeseeds next year, replenish depleted stocks, and at the same time limit current demand to avoid the depletion of rapeseed supply
    .
    According to data released by the Canadian Grain Council on Friday, during the 14th week of the 2021/22 season, from November 1 to 7, Canada’s rapeseed exports were 247,900 tons, which was higher than the 111,500 tons a week ago

    soybean exports remain faltering
     
      The US Department of Agriculture's weekly export sales report shows that for the week ending November 4, 2021, US soybean net sales for the year 2021/22 were 1,289,400 tons, a decrease of 31% from last week and a decrease of 25% from the four-week average
    .
    So far this year, the total US soybean export sales have reached 33,293,400 tons, a decrease of 33.

    7% month-on-month and a year-on-year decrease of 41.
    2%, which is also the lowest since March 2020
    .
    The reason for the decline in imports is that the meager profit of domestic soybean crushing has slowed down demand from oil plants, and Hurricane Ida interrupted the operation of U.
    S.
    Gulf export facilities for several weeks, which also restricted U.
    S.
    soybean exports to China
