Algeria (ONAB) confirmed the purchased of 70,000 tons of maize on May dates.
Soya bean imports:
Soya bean imports (used for crushing and re-export) continue due to the drought and significant shortfall of the local harvest (2022-2023).
During March 2023 imports were 1,380,000 tons. Total processed was 2,110,000 tons.
This means that about 64 per cent of the soya beans processed at Upriver were imports.
The proportions of the imports are:
Paraguay 82.3 per cent (River barge)
Brazil 15.9 per cent (Ocean freight)
Bolivia 1.8 per cent (River barge)
This pattern will continue throughout the year, with a similar (tonnage wise) amount of imports expected to shore up the local shortfall.
