ERS conducts a variety of market outlook activities
on the oilseeds complex. Details on major changes and
events in the world oilseeds market are published 11 months
of the year in ERS' Oil
Crops Outlook (previously published outlook reports
are also available). ERS also publishes the Oil
Crops Yearbook, which recaps the previous market year
for oil crops.
ERS—with the World Agricultural Outlook Board, Farm
Service Agency, Foreign Agricultural Service, and Agricultural
Marketing Service—develops USDA's monthly World
Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE)
report, which is coordinated by the World Agricultural
Outlook Board. WASDE provides current year estimates and
projections of domestic and global supply and utilization
for soybeans, soybean meal, and soybean oil, among other
commodities. Aggregate estimates are also provided for
domestic and global supply and utilization of total oilseeds,
oil meals, and vegetable oils.
 Long-term
(10-year) supply and utilization projections for the domestic
and international soybean complex are available through
the Agricultural Baseline
Projections briefing room. For example, the graph
below of crop acreage projections is from the briefing
room chapter on U.S.
crops. For further information on the supply and demand
issues underlying the baseline for soybeans, see:
