What are the meteorological disasters for soybeans?

Disastrous weather for soybeans includes drought, floods, low temperatures, frost, hail and other meteorological conditions that cause diseases and insect pests.

The growth time of soybeans is 90-120 days, about 3-4 months. The growth cycle includes four stages: planting period, flowering period, grain filling period and harvest period. The main soybean producing countries in the northern hemisphere are the United States and China, sowing from May to June every year and harvesting from September to October; the main soybean producing countries in the southern hemisphere are Brazil and Argentina in South America, sowing mainly from October to December every year and harvesting from March to May.

Abnormal weather will affect soybean sowing, growth or harvesting, and a drop in yield will directly lead to a fall in soybean production, triggering market concerns about soybean production, which will lead to an increase in soybean prices.
