Developments in the global animal feed industry, managing increasing volatility in raw materials prices & food safety issues are among the key topics addressed at the upcoming Global Feed Summit. This event is endorsed by the Indonesian Feedmills Association.
Poor harvests, protectionism and a variety of other factors are making their mark felt on the global feed industry.
In the Philippines, for example, Allaboutfeed.net reported that the government has decided to restore tariffs for feed wheat imports. The country has decided to restore a 7% tariff on feed wheat imports and extend a zero duty on imports of food wheat in July. In Vietnam, rising feed prices are putting farmers out of business according to Allaboutfeed.net.
Bloomberg (13/7/09) also reported on rising Global wheat prices, which are riding on speculation that U.S. farmers will withhold supplies after a slump in prices that began in early June. The same article attributed the rally in Corn prices on expectations that demand will improve from livestock producers.
In the mean time, in Kenya, the Nairobi Times (10/7/09) reported that local Animal feeds manufacturers are scouting for options as soya beans supply tightens in the global market, pushing up raw material costs. This follows poor harvests in India, and the decision by China to build its soya reserve to cushion its industries from an anticipated shortage.
The global feed industry also needs to contend with the European Union’s (EU) recently announced “zero-tolerance policy” for traces of unapproved genetically modified (GM) plants in imported feeds.
The Global Feed Summit in Bali on 9-10 November 2009 provides a platform for discussion, analysis and debate on the emerging trends shaping domestic and international feed markets covering supply, production and trade flows.
