NOPA Aug US soybean crush seen at 171.325 million bushels
By Karl Plume
CHICAGO, Sept 13 (Reuters) -The monthly U.S. soybean crush likely fell by more than 6% in August as processors idled plants for seasonal maintenance and repairs ahead of the 2024 harvest, analysts said ahead of a National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA) report due on Monday.
NOPA members, who handle about 95% of all U.S. processed soybeans, were estimated to have crushed 171.325 million bushels last month, according to the average of estimates from nine analysts surveyed by Reuters.
If realized, it would be down 6.3% from the July crush of 182.881 million bushels but up 6.1% from the 161.453 million bushels in August 2023. It would also be the largest August crush on record, besting the prior mark of 168.085 million bushels set in 2019.
August is normally among the lightest crush months on the calendar because many processors idle facilities ahead of the fall harvest.
The average estimate implies a daily crush rate in August of 5.527 million bushels a day, which would be the slowest since last September.
Processors are anticipating having an ample supply of beans to crush in the coming months after the U.S. Department of Agriculture only slightly trimmed its forecast for a bumper 2024 U.S. soybean harvest.
Crush estimates for August ranged from 162.000 million to 178.000 million bushels, with a median of 173.000 million bushels.
The NOPA report is scheduled for release at 11 a.m. CDT (1600 GMT) on Monday.
Soyoil stocks held by NOPA members as of Aug. 31 were estimated at 1.356 billion lbs, based on estimates from seven analysts.
If the estimate is realized, it would be down 9.5% from 1.499 billion lbs at the end of July and the smallest end-of-month supply since November. But it would be up 8.5% from the 1.250 billion lbs of oil held by NOPA members at the end of August last year.
Oil stocks estimates ranged from 1.245 billion to 1.444 billion lbs, with a median of 1.350 billion lbs.
NOTE: Crush figures listed in millions of bushels and soyoil stocks are in billions of pounds.
