India soybean extends losses on tepid demand
Fri Feb 5, 2010 11:36am IST
MUMBAI, Feb 5 (Reuters) - India's soybean futures extended the previous day's losses in early trade on Friday, tracking weak overseas leads and sluggish spot demand due to weak meal exports, analysts said.
At 10:51 a.m., the March contract NSBH0 on the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange was down 0.31 percent at 2,090 rupees per 100 kg.
The benchmark March palm contract KPOc3 on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange eased 0.04 percent to 2,509 ringgit per tonne by mid-day break.
India's oilmeal exports slumped 44 percent to 395,663 tonnes in December from 708,631 tonnes a year earlier, the Solvent Extractors' Association of India said last month. See [ID:nBMA006705]
The market is seeking cues from January meal export figures, which the trade body is set to release on Friday afternoon.
Oilmeal exports fall 32% in Jan

Our Bureau
Chennai, Feb. 5
A 50 per cent fall in soyameal exports pulled down overall oilmeal exports in January by 32 per cent compared with the same period a year ago.
According to the Solvent Extractors Association, oilmeal exports in January totalled 3.84 lakh tonnes (lt) against 5.69 lt, a year ago. Of this, soyameal shipments dropped to 2.74 lt (5.55 lt).
A drastic fall in the exports was prevented by rapid rise in shipments of rapemeal, rice bran extraction and castormeal.
Rapemeal exports touched a five-month high, while ricebran extraction shipments touched an eight-month high. In the case of castormeal, it was the highest this fiscal.
Overall oilmeal exports in April-January were 26.70 lt against 46.39 lt a year ago. Soyameal exports, according to the Soyabean Processors Association of India data, were 17.47 lt against 36.41 lt.
The Solvent Extractors Association said exports were weak due to lower crushing, disparity in prices during the last four months due to speculation in soyabean futures and depreciation of the dollar.
It said China, Vietnam, South Korea and Japan were the major importers.
Dip in demand
However, the volume of imports by countries such as Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia were lower compared with last year.
The value of soyameal exports dropped to $413 a tonne in January from $442 in December, while that of rapeseed slid to $260 from $262. Rice bran extraction price increased to $174 from $171, while that of castormeal was stable at $78.
Mustard Crop in India May Be Bigger Than Forecast on Weather
By Pratik Parija
Feb. (Bloomberg) -- The mustard seed harvest in India may be higher than forecast last month, helped by favorable weather and good quality seeds, according to an industry executive.
Production may exceed 6 million metric tons, compared with a forecast of 5.5 million tons, Devi Prasad Khandelia, managing director of Khandelia Oil & General Mills, said from Rajasthan, the nation’s biggest producer of the oilseed.
“The crop has been good so far on the sown area and the weather has been conducive,” Khandelia, who’s been surveying mustard fields in the northwest state, said in an interview. “The good news is there’s no damage to the crop this year.”
A bigger-than-forecast crop of the winter-sown oilseed may increase edible oil supplies, paring the need to buy cooking oil from abroad. Malaysia exported 137,550 tons of palm oil to India in January, up 53 percent from the previous month, according to Societe Generale de Surveillance. Palm oil makes up more than 80 percent of the country’s total edible oil imports.
The Solvent Extractors’ Association Ltd., which represents 800 Indian oilseed processors, is scheduled to release its final estimate for the mustard crop on Feb. 7. Khandelia is chairman of the mustard committee of the Solvent Extractors’ group.
Mustard seed production may total 5.7-5.8 million tons in the March-April harvest, down from 6.2 million tons a year ago, Govindlal G. Patel, who’s been trading edible oil for over four decades, said last month. He is chairman of the crop committee of the Central Organization for Oil Industry & Trade, India’s biggest group of oilseeds processors.
The crop, planted in October and November, makes up more than 70 percent of India’s winter oilseeds. Its yellow-colored oil is the third-most used cooking fat in India after palm and soybean oils.

Respite For Refined Soy As Prices Surge From Contract Lows
India's vegetable oil imports in December rose 5.6 percent from a year earlier as the weakest monsoon rains in 37 years hit the domestic oilseed crop, a leading trading body said on Thursday.
Vegetable oil imports in December were at 787,423 tonnes, including 761,835 tonnes of edible oils, against 745,563 tonnes a year earlier. Vegetable oil imports by India, the world's second-biggest buyer, were at 1.5 million tonnes in the first two months of the oil year that began in November, up from 1.3 million tonnes a year earlier.
The undertone in the Malaysian CPO futures, to say the least, has been bearish to mixed and even as prices timidly consolidate around MYR 2400 per tonne mark, unless crude gets back above $80 soon, the CPO futures are unlikely to soar.
NCDEX Refined Soy oil futures for March fell to a fresh contract low of Rs 443.75 per 10 kg and hit a high of Rs 453.25 per 10 kg today, with prices moving up after breaking above Rs 450 barrier. Watch out for further gains and intraday buying is recommended with a test of Rs 555.80 possible.
Mustard Seed may gain on lower sowing
NCDEX April Mustard seed futures fell sharply in the morning hours. However, it could not sustain lower levels on short covering and some fresh buying at lower levels.
Lower sowing acreage of mustard seed this year as compared to last year also provided support to bulls.
India’s rape/mustard seed production for the crop year that began Oct. 1 is expected to decline to 5.5 million-6 million metric tonnes due to lower area under cultivation.
The area under Rapeseed/Mustard Seed, as on 28 January, is reported down at 64.36 lh against 66.49 lh in the corresponding period a year ago.
Technical Analysis
Candlestick formed bullish engulfing pattern on Daily charts, which shows bullish market sentiments.
Prices closed below its 10 Day & its 20 Day EMA. 14-Day RSI is at 24.00, which is in oversold zone.
Daily MACD is in negative territory, which indicates bearish market sentiments.
Outlook
Mustard Seed prices are expected to trade lower on account of market poor demand from millers and weakness in other domestic oilseeds (for short term). However, in the long term, overall it is expected to trade lower on account of higher global oilseeds output and huge import of edible oils may provide support to bears.
