2025 Global Food Trade: Soybeans Reflecting a "Fragmented" New Landscape

The year 2025 was once filled with optimism, with the International Grains Council (IGC) forecasting a record global grain output of 2.412 billion tons, notably driven by increases in corn and wheat. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) also projected an expansion in global coarse grain trade, primarily due to rising exports from the U.S. and Ukraine. However, the tumultuous landscape of geopolitics is now tearing apart this optimistic vision. Particularly in the soybean market, a profound structural transformation has already begun.

EU Releases Pinoxaden Risk Assessment: Deep Dive into Groundwater Impact and Metabolite Toxicity

On September 8, 2025, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) officially published its peer review report on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance pinoxaden, offering a detailed risk profile for this widely used herbicide in European agricultural fields. Pinoxaden, commonly known by its trade name "Axial," effectively controls graminaceous weeds in winter and spring cereal crops by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase). When the substance was approved in the EU in 2016, a crucial precondition was attached: given its subsequent formal classification as reproductive toxicant category 2 (H361d, suspected of damaging the unborn child), the applicant, Syngenta, was required to submit relevant risk assessment data for its specific metabolites M11, M52, M54, M55, and M56. With this toxicity classification officially adopted at the EU level, the confirmatory data assessment procedure, coordinated by Austria as the rapporteur Member State and led by EFSA, was initiated to fill the previously identified scientific gaps.
