ERS conducts a variety of market outlook activities
related to the oilseed complex. Details on major changes
and events in the world oilseeds market are published
12 months of the year in the Oil
Crops Outlook (previously published outlook reports
are also available). The Oil
Crops Yearbook provides a recap of the previous market
year.
ERS—with the World Agricultural Outlook Board,
Farm Service Agency, Foreign Agricultural Service, and
Agricultural Marketing Service—develops USDA's
monthly World
Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report,
which is coordinated by the World Agricultural Outlook
Board. WASDE provides current-year estimates and projections
of domestic and global supply and utilization for soybeans,
soybean meal, and soybean oil, among other commodities.
Aggregate estimates are also provided for domestic and
global supply and utilization of total oilseeds, oil
meals, and vegetable oils.
Long-term (10-year) supply and utilization projections
for the domestic and international soybean complex are
available through the Agricultural
Baseline Projections briefing room. For further information on the supply and
demand issues underlying the baseline for soybeans, see the chapter on U.S. crops and the following:
