Indian Soybean Outlook Steady

As soybean harvesters gear up for a record yield in India, market watchers are predicting a firm brace on the country's soy prices. 

Adequate rains and acreage for the crop will likely see bumper harvests for soybean this year, said Mr Sivakumar, Chief Executive Officer of the International Business Division of ITC Ltd.  But excessive rains in the next two weeks could also lead to crop damage, he said.
