The global grain and oilseed sector in September 2026 faces shifting trade routes, import tenders, and weather-driven crop adjustments.

Pakistan has issued a 750,000 MT wheat import tender to fill domestic supply gaps, while Kenya has opened 3 Million MT of duty-free maize imports.

Conversely, Saudi Arabia cancelled its 535,000 MT wheat tender due to high prices and Red Sea constraints.

In oilseeds, India's soybean production is forecast down 8% to 9.6 MT due to El Niño, driving higher import requirements, while EU soymeal imports surged to 547,500 MT under stricter EUDR compliance.

Traders are advised to monitor rising freight costs, secure contracts early, and diversify supply origins.
