A loop between palm
oil and soybean meal is then identified: when production of soybean
meal in Brazil decreases, the amount of soybean oil in the
international market contracts too, which is again compensated by
the marginal supplier. This loop iterates till the flows trend against
zero, causing a net increase in production of palm oil in Malaysia
(þ25.27 g) and a decrease in production of soybean meal in Brazil
(3.44 g).
