According to data from the German Federal Statistical Office, soybean meal exports from German oil mills reached only 741,000 tonnes during the period from July to November 2025, representing an 11% decline compared with the same period in 2024.
At the same time, the volume of rapeseed meal placed on the world market also fell, dropping 22% to 537,000 tonnes.
Investigations by Agrarmarkt Informations-Gesellschaft show that most rapeseed and soybean meal produced in Germany was exported to other EU countries.
The ports in the Netherlands remained the main recipients for global shipments, as in previous years. From July to November 2025, Germany sold around 200,000 tonnes of rapeseed meal to the Netherlands, representing a 30% decline from the same period the previous year.
Denmark received around 87,600 tonnes, 2% less than the previous year, although it moved back up to second place among the most important recipients. Rapeseed meal exports to Sweden, Finland and Switzerland also remained below the previous year’s levels. German deliveries to France dropped to 42,000 tonnes, a marginal decline compared with the first five months of the 2024/25 marketing year.
Soybean meal was also shipped mostly to other EU countries. The Czech Republic was the largest recipient, with Germany delivering 148,300 tonnes in the period from July to November 2025, almost the same volume supplied in the reference period. In contrast, deliveries to Poland increased from 96,000 tonnes to 106,000 tonnes.
