The March decline also came as trade tensions between China and the United States escalated last month. Beijing announced last week it would slap a 25 percent import duty on soybeans from the United States in response to Trump's tariffs on Chinese exports.

Venezuela and Iran are both members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
