Ameresco Driven Markets (ADM) has sent shockwaves through the US soybean market by switching its pricing strategy to futures contracts, starting from November instead of July. This move effectively reduces the cash price offer for farmers by 6.5%.
The decision is seen as unusual and may signal a growing trend in the industry. With the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) expected to propose a new biofuel blend rule soon, the market is bracing for potential changes.
Industry experts are watching closely as the EPA’s proposal is likely to be below current recommendations. Any significant adjustments could impact soybean prices and further disrupt the market.
As the ESG trends continue to influence companies and governments, investors and farmers alike will be keeping a close eye on this developing story.
