Brazilian soya export registers up

Brazilian 2005/06 (February-January) soyabean export registrations rose 12 percent to 24.5 million tonnes by December 15, from nearly 22 million a year earlier, Brazil's Vegetable Oils Industry Association (Abiove) said on Monday.
Soybean and product export commitments must be registered with the government's foreign trade office.
They don't necessarily represent actual shipments but give an indication of the pace of exports. Registrations are also required for some forms of producer credits.
