So what’s behind the soybean oil slump? Exports have taken a nosedive as prices spiked. For those keeping score (which has been a painful exercise for Gator football fans), July soybean oil exports were down 87% from January’s peak—yep, that’s a full-on Rob Gronkowski jersey number collapse.

But don’t tune out just yet. The Environmental Protection Agency is teeing up proposed biomass-based diesel requirements for 2026 and 2027 as shown above. If those stick, soybean oil demand could see Gronk-sized gains that reshape the field.

This summer’s commodity market has had more ups and downs than a Netflix reboot season—but that’s where we come in. At Datum FS, we help partners turn volatility into opportunity with data-driven forecasts and innovative contracting tools.
