MUMBAI, Dec 8 (Reuters) - India soybean futures may trade weak early in the session on Tuesday weighed by weak global cues and thin domestic demand, analysts said.
The January soybean contract NSBF0 on the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange last closed at 2,471 rupees per 100 kg, down 0.68 percent.
The benchmark January palm oil futures KPOc3 on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was at 2,547 ringgit a tonne, down 0.47 percent at 9:18 a.m.
Analysts said millers were not buying actively due to a sharp fall in oilmeal exports.
Soybean is crushed to produce soyoil and soymeal.
India's oilmeal exports halved to 346,859 tonnes in November, its first monthly fall in three months, as soymeal prices rose following a poor oilseed crop and as shipments to Vietnam, Japan and China fell, a trade body said on Dec. 4.
The Central Organisation for Oil Industry and Trade said India's output of summer-sown oilseeds fell 12.5 percent to 13.1 million tonnes in the crop year that began in July 2009, mainly due to lower groundnut and soybean production.
