The Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) is driven to deliver increased soybean demand through market development and new uses, farmer-focused research and results, timely information and policy initiatives enabling farmers and the industry to flourish.
The reason that Brazil is selling to China and America is not now at this point in time is that American geopolitics have Pissed off the Chinese and now they buy off their Brics partners now and now transactions are in their own currencies,America has no one to blame other than themselves,the world can see that and they laugh now at America,and at their Australian puppets who are also suffering.
An excellent video on the Problem with carbon intensity scores resulting in CARB preference for used cooking oil from China over soy oil for bio diesel/fuel. Just a ridiculous decision any way you look at it!
I congratulate you for this video. Thanks for posting it. I think the world has 8 billion people and in principle they need to eat at least once a day and the population keeps growing, meaning by that that there is no need to fear Brazilian competition. There is space for Brazil and the USA. Not only in the soy business but in the agribusiness in general. I am happy to see (to be frank I was pleasantly surprised watching your video) that you guys finally woke up to the Brazilian reality. I remember I was shocked to see, way back in say 2014 or perhaps 2015 a video, I think it was produced exactly by your association - maybe I am wrong about it - in which you guys, being professionals and more than capable of adding two and two, back then you became already worried with "Brazilian competition" and to help allaying your concerns, you asked Peter Zeihan to lecture you about Brazil. Do you guys rememeber that event? I was shocked with the amount of sheer stupidities Zeihan said, everything he said about Brazil was dead wrong and that because he introduces himself as a "geopolitical analyist". The guy is simply a total idiot. I remember that he told his audience that it should not worry with Brazil because Brazil was unable to produce any other thing than coffee and sugar, and hence Brazil would never pose a threat to the American dominance of the soy market (he said many other unbelievably indiotic things, and then I later found out that the same idiotic and groundless things he says about Argentina. Virtually whatever he says about Brazil and Argentina is dead wrong, you can take that for granted. And I was pleasantly surpirsed to see that you guys begun doing what Zeihan should have been doing before the decides to talk about any other country, that is, he should visit the country personally, which I am sure he never did to Brazil and Argentina. You are coming to Brazil, I am sure you were well treated, and I am sure your trip was very important for you to have a hands-on approach about what to expect from Brazil in the future. And I would most humbly suggest that the most intellingent thing to do, rather than complaining about Brazilian competition (as the French keep doing0 is to make partnerships with Brazil, because by doing that you would get the best of the two biggest grain producers on earth and I am sure the Brazilian farmers are open for business. In a nutshell, without being the genius that Peter Zeihan proclaims he is, that great geopolitical analysit that he is, I would explain to you what to expect from Brazil in the next 20 years: (1) The most important Brazilian achievement is that Brazil has mastered the tropics. That means that Brazil now is putting the tropics to work for it and not against it (you guys have understood that we produce grain all year around something that you cannot do because of your winter, we don't need to worry with that because we are in the tropics, and that will begin to exercise a very strong impact in global markets not only in the soy business, but in the corn business and in the wheat business. Mind you, soy, and wheat are not tropical cultures. But due to massive investment in science and technology Brazil was able to develop varieties of soy and wheat that can be grown in the tropics. Brazil began planting soy in 1960 and it took us 60 years for us to become the biggest soy producer, but USDA is projecting that by 2040 Brazil will be producing 300 million metric tons of soy. We are doing wonders in the wheat business. The wheat produced in the tropics has a higher protein contentent than the wheat produced in temperate climates and the productivity per acre is nearly double the one in temperate climates. So, in a matter of 20 years, we will become a major supplier not only of soy, but also of corn and wheat. But you have to take into account that Brazil is already a heavy weight in many other areas of the agribusiness and our production in those other items will continue to expand. (2) Brazil solved the critical problem of lack of water in 20% of the Brazilian territory, the North East, because it had a semiarid climate. We have just finished the construction of very big canals bringing water from perenial rivers and that was a major engineering achievement and the NorthEast will begin to join in the agribusiness, meaning by that that Brazil will add an extra 20% of its area which did not contribute to the agribusiness because it did not have water (an area equivalent to Alaska). (3) Brazil became self-sufficient in energy; (4) Brazil has developed a very sophisticated economy and finance with a Central Bank which is very competent, that knows its business and the Brazilian banks are packed up with money ready to finance good projects. The Brazil Stock Exchange is one of the best and most efficient in the World. You boys can expect that the Brazilian Stock Exchange will exercise on global markets the same type of influence that the CBOT has performed up to now. CBOT will not reign supreme from now on, with events hapapening in the Brazilian agribusiess exercising direct impact in the American grain business. (5) The revolution in logistics which is taking place (you made a slight comment on this, but I believe you don't understand the magnitude of what is happening right now). Brazil is criss-crossing the country with new, modern, efficient railways, and Brazil is simultaneously building 2 transcontinental rodas linking Brazil to the Pacific and 2 transcontinental railways linking Brazil to the Pacific. These transcontinental roads and railways will link Brazil to 6 different ports in Chile and in Peru, and these will be game-changers, because the Brazilian granany is the Brazilian Midwest, and the Brazilian Midwest is about 700 km away from the Pacific and 3000 km away from the Atlantic. That means in the next decade most of the Brazilian grain exports will be processed through the Pacific and that will exercise a very strong effect in the global grain business, because the Chinese grain carriers will no longer need to cross the Panama Canal to come to the Brazilian Atlantic ports to carry their grain, or come through the Cape (these are the two routes). A decade from now if not sooner than that, they will simply dispatch their grain carriers to the Chilean and Peruvian ports, and everything will be cheaper, more competitive. The Brazilian FOB price will be lower than what it is today, the logstics cost will be much lower, the time of transportation will be reduced by 20 days thereby reducing financial costs, etc. The Brazilian economists project that Brazil will double its GDP 10 years from now, and 10 years later it will double once more its GDP (2,5 Trillion today, 5 trillion 10 years from now and 10 trillion 20 years from now). And this is self sustainable growth because Brazill (just like the United States) is a major food supplier and there is permanent, strong demand for our food so we will not have problems to sell our produce. But again, I am sure there is space for the agribusiness of both countries, because none of them can supply all the food the gargantuan global population needs...
Américo Vespucci argued that there was a continent unknown to Europeans in 1501 after visiting Brazil, which he called the New World. You are not Americans, you are citizens of the United States. The Monroe Doctrine was created in 1823 so that you could think you were the owners of the continent. You Anglo-Saxons are not Americans at all. Since you exterminated your Americans to steal their land, you can't even say that there are Americans among the Europeans who live there.
I think brazilian farmers realized the famous american slogan Farms Here Forests There is not true for us. And now the brazilian people are aware we are the country which more respect the environment and preserve our Forests in the world and at the same time work to be the biggest food producer of world.
The U.S just imposed massive tariffs on various Chinese products. You should expect China to retaliate, you should have lobbied more than the big 3 auto corp managed to do. protectionism is what the declining empires do.
The competitors are trying to slow down the Brazilian agroindustry using the Amazon deforestation as a pretext. Brazil has one of the lowest forest and natural environment preservation index in the world. In terms of arable land, Brazil has only 8% of its land dedicated to agriculture. US has 18%. China 20%. France 58%. India 61%. Brazil’s ability to harvest two to three crops a year in the same plot of land makes it unique compared with other grain and soybean-producing countries. Brazil has about 12 per cent of the world's surface water resources and one of the most fertile lands in the world. Brazil is now a global agricultural powerhouse feeding one in every 4 people in the world.
Claro somos players, e temos muito orgulho disto, trabalhamos muito todo dia. Estamos muito apreensivos pois o Lula está prejudicando o Agro, parece absurdo mas está acontecendo. Lula não é um patriota prejudica todos q são contrário a ele. É um canalha, sem juízo.
E vc parece que costuma se embebedar com o Nove Dedos tomando cachaça, pois este sujeito deveria defender o agronegócio brasileiro, mas não chama a todos de fascistas. 😬 😬 😬

Monocropping is the answer for environmental issues? 😂 Monocropping is literally one of the worst things you can possibly do to the environment lol By the way Brazil uses 20% of the world's pesticides that's insane when you factor in China, India, America, Canada etc... Brazil output doesn't represent 20% of the world's lol
Monocropping with good practices are PART of the answer. Forests are better than monocrops for sure, but you can't produce competitive amounts of protein with it. About pesticides, Brazil is a tropical country, agriculture is different. The winter is too mild to control pests and low-till practices require using more herbicides. Tillage is really bad for tropical soils because it destroys organic matter and leave then more vulnerable to erosion.
@@pliniolsc There's no such thing as environmentally friendly monocropping. The nature of it is intrinsically bad. You have to destroy almost all biodiversity for millions of acres to grow just a few types of plants.
Most crop farming in Brazil is not done in the Amazon region. Most of Brazil isn't the Amazon lol In fact soils are poor and not very suitable for crops in rainforest climates. Most crops in Brazil are in central, and west central brazil which is a tropical Savanna climate and south brazil is a major producer states like São Paulo, Paraná, Rio Grande do sul. All these major agricultural regions aren't anywhere close to the Amazon
Digging for info here and it looks like 4.5 million acres a year are lost. So basically, cropping is pushing cattle grazing into the rainforest areas. Is this not correct?
@@agwhoneedsaphd2643 The biggest problem lies on illegal activities. In the Brazillian Amazon the law forces producers to keep up to 80% of their land with forests. Aside from that, around 20+% of the Amazon is either permanently protected with national parks and alike or indigenous territories, which are also not allowed to deforest. Keep in mind the current native forest cover of Brazil is not comparable with any northern farmer's country.
The competitors are trying to slow down the Brazilian agroindustry using the Amazon deforestation as a pretext. Brazil has the lowest forest and natural environment preservation index in the world.
Number 1 producer and exporter of Soybeans in the world. And Brazil recently became the world number 1 exporter of Corn overtaking the US. By far the biggest producer of sugarcane. By far the biggest producer of coffee and a major producer of cotton and wheat. How are they behind if they beat the US in both Soybean and Corn exports? 😂
90% of the amazon still there, farms in Brazil only cover 10% of the country land mass, depending on the state you need to put aside 80% of your land for conservation some are (10%), Brazil invested heavily in farming technology and that is where the difference is biting into the American advantage. You hear people talking about the Amazon are interest groups that keep pushing into to undermine the Brazilian market. They been undermining the Brazilian market since forever, one case in example was in 1996 when foreign markets spread lies about Brazilian cows having mad cow disease something they never had, but that cost Brazil a huge contract with the Canadian market. Brazil does have a major problem with miners and loggers coming down from other countries to harvest Brazilian goods. Try again!!
The land shown in the video is mostly land that stay under water for most of the year another reason why cattle is rotated through there, to take advantage of the growth after the yearly floods. Try to understand that biomes from different countries are going to behave differently from what YOU are used to.
The competitors are trying to slow down the Brazilian agroindustry using the Amazon deforestation as a pretext. Brazil has the lowest forest and natural environment preservation index in the world. Please spend a little time doing research about this topic.
@@RandomNPC001It's already game over when it comes to america's two biggest crops. Brazil has recently overtaken the US in both Soybean and Corn exports. Brazil overtook the US in Corn in 2023
Thanks for comming down to Brazil. Even though, farmers go through a lot of challenges such as logistics, taxes and lack of government incentives. Farming industry in Brazil is one the most important agent in environmental preservation due the environmental regulations and No till as the main farming practice in row crops. Notill has an important role to the development of the brazilian agriculture.
clearing Brazil is what's causing climate change I read in a farm magazine 30 years ago when they started clearing the rain forest it was going to change the climate
Well it depends on the region. Southern Brazilian states like for instance Rio Grande do sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná have pretty good soils, the regions that are borderline temperate/sub tropical have better soils than tropical central Brazil. Majority of the crops are in central brazil and west central in places like Mato Grosso which produces 26% of Brazil's soybeans, that state alone. And a lot of places plant three crops per year. Near Brasilia around that region they plant Soybeans, which is actually not their cash crop and yields aren't that great and then right after they harvest soybeans they plant Cotton which is their cash crop and then they plant corn. In the southernmost state the climate is cool enough to grow Wheat and Barley, almost all the Barley and most of the wheat crops are in Rio Grande do sul.
By the way, Brazil uses 20% of the world's pesticides that's an insane overrepresentation when you factor in all major agricultural producers like China, the states, canada, India etc..There's no way that Brazil represents 20% of the world's crops
President Xi spent alot time with hard working Chinese farmers and he knows that farmers is the backbone of a country! That is why he appreciates famers around the world 🙏
China can dumped American soy bean American corn, pork, beef worth hundreds of billions of dollars costing American farmers billions. The only people picking a fight with china is America. we are mad at there success. You can not replace the chinese market. AMERICAN COMPANIES NEED THE GLOBAL SOUTH MARKETS WITH 85% OF THE GLOBAL POPULATION. BRICS.
In 1985 president xi i belive spent a week in mesquite Iowa. He was part a chinese delegation that came to learn about America and farming. He stayed with an American family who after 40 years president x still call old friends. He also went to Iowa to see his old friends every time he came on state visits. THE CHINESE PEOPLE DO NOT HATE US. THEY ARE SHOCKED AT OUR HOSTILITIES AND MILITARY AGGRESSION. This relationship led to iowa and American farmers having total accesd to the worlds largest market. china. Over the years American farmers have made hundreds of billions in trade with china. This was a win win relationship. my company imports building materials from china which makes my homes affordable. AMERICAN POLITICIANS AND WASHINGTON HAS BECAME SO TOXIC THAT OUR POLITICIANS ARE WILLING TO HURT AMERICAN BUSINESS TO USE CHINA AS THEIR BOGGIE MAN FOR THEIR FAILED POLICIES. China is the worlds largest middle class. There are around 280 American companies operating in china grossing over 400 billion annually. Economic decoupling from china will devestate the American economy and cause needless pain for the already suffering American consumer. CHINA IS NOT OUR ENEMY. THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX AND THE NEO CONS ARE. THEY NEED AN ENEMY FOR THEIR ENDLESS WARS.
Tell the American goverment that they block China from entering US market in many fields but want China to open their market to US products. It goes both ways.
what kind of american patriot are you. You know you need to tow the line that China is bad. China is evil. Your government isnt going to like pro China sentiment.
COME ON MAN its bad enough BILL GATES is buying out the farmers now we as citizens have to worry about china taking away more and more farm lands as well as its TECH cant blame them really cant DEPEND on the demonrat party or this CORRUPT GOVERNMENT they dont care about you and i .... something is up they are not telling its citizens
President Xi has more respect for Americans than All the Racist US Gov't politicians, who spread their hate & supremacy with manufacture lies, hate, slander, & propaganda.
