Soybeans and Soybean Products in Asia and Oceania During the last two decades a number of developing countries in Asia became markets for us. Soybeans for use in traditional Chinese and Japanese-type soybean foods. The demand for soybeans for food uses still exists in these countries, of course, but much of the market for these beans is being supplied by domestic production, as in South Korea, and by beans from other exporters, such as Mainland China. Today, these countries, plus Australia and New Zealand, are present and potential markets for increasing quantities of us. Soybeans for crushing into meal, or for meal as such. U.s. Soybean oil has met stiff competition and controls in this area - because of the availability of large quantities of palm, coconut, and other oils - but some still moves there under dollar sales. The new demand for crushing soybeans and for soybean meal stems for the most part from the spectacular increases in production and consumption of poultry meat now occurring throughout the area. Also important are the expanding egg and pork industries. Having discovered the production efficiencies that come with the use of modern mixed feeds containing soybean meal, these industries are demanding larger quantities of these feeds. Mixed feed industries have been Springing up to meet these demands. The developing poultry and livestock industries are also using new animal breeds imported from the United States and other countries.

Soybeans and Products The United States has long dominated this market and, in turn, has counted soybeans and soybean meal as top agricultural exports to Eastern Europe. In 1976, this country accounted for an estimated million tons of East European imports of soybeans and meal, for a -fold gain from 1971. Yet u.s. Ascendance in the market has been aggressively challenged by Brazil, which by 1976 was supplying around million tons of Eastern Europe's soybean and meal imports, compared with only in 1971. Estimates for 1977 show that country overtaking the United States for the first time - supplying tons, compared with estimated for the United States.

Soybeans and Vegetable Oils Hong Kong, Malaya, Singapore, and possibly Sarawak are growing commercial markets for u.s. Soybeans for use in Chinese-type soybean foods. Exports to these countries could increase rapidly to around a million bushels as compared with and bushels in 1959 and 1960. Practically no soybeans are grown in these countries; nearly all are imported from Mainland China, the United States, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Africa, and North Borneo. In Indonesia, however, supplies are now about equal to demand. Annual production is around metric tons and exports in 1959 were only 406 tons and in 1960 only 21 tons. In Burma, soybean production is probably slightly below total demand levels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Market for U. S. Soybeans and Soybean Meal in Eastern Europe The Eastern European countries covered herein include Bulgaria, czechoslovakia; -east Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Yugoslavia. Soybeans and soybean products are among the small number of u.s. Agricultural products that are now moving to these countries under developing dollar trade terms. This is because soybean meal has become a highly desired ingredient in the feeds used in their expanding poultry, hog, and other livestock industries. The acknowledged high quality of u.s. Soybean meal and the excellent results achieved with it point to the enlargement of the East European market simultaneously with the further development of these industries. If present trade conditions prevail, these countries could more than double their current imports of u.s. Soybeans and products in the next 5 years. Trade barriers are not a problem in this trade because the government import monopolies in East Europe are quite anxious to buy u.s. Soybean meal and soybeans. While import licenses are necessary in most of these countries, the government monopolies secure their own licenses. The necessary foreign exchange also is provided for because the imports are made in accordance with government plans. Nevertheless, availability of foreign exchange, which is limited and controlled, is often a problem, particularly this year in Czechoslovakia. To Eastern Europe's growing soybean and soybean meal market (excluding East Germany) the United States shipped the equivalent of metric tons of meal and beans, in terms of soybeans, in 1969; this was four times the average amount shipped in the 1960 - 64 period. Actual shipments were metric tons of meal and tons of beans; in terms of meal, the total was tons. During the 1960 - 64 period, an average of metric tons of meal and beans were shipped, in terms of soybeans, or tons of meal and tons of beans.

This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The U. S. Soybean Market in the Republic of China (Taiwan) The Taiwan oilseed crushing industry has undergone a complete technological turnover since the end of World War II and particularly since 1955. The country now boasts 36 solvent-extraction plants, many of them with modern continuous systems. Although most of them are relatively small, the solvent mills are now capable of handling over tons of soybeans and other oilseeds annually. Technical changes are still going on at a fairly rapid rate as many mills are currently installing larger continuous solvent units. Total solvent capacity of over tons of soybeans is expected to be reached and used in the next 5 to 10 years. Taiwan crushers also plan to increase their refining and processing capacity for vegetable oils, and several are at the present time building hardening facilities for the production of margarine and shortening. Much of the equipment is being manufactured locally, and other equipment is being purchased abroad, particularly from J apan and the United States. Also, many feed-mixing plants that utilize oilseed proteins from the crushing mills have been built in recent years, and future expansion is expected to bring a consolidation into larger, efficient, and more productive units. Many of these feed plants have been built by the oilseed crushing mill operators. Per capita income is expected to double during the coming decade, creating a vast new market for meat and protein products. Correlated with this new demand will be a rising market for fats and oils, high-protein oilseed meals, and soybean foods; this points directly to larger soybean imports.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supply and Marketing of Soybeans and Soybean Products The acreage devoted to soybeans in Illinois averaged percent of the total land in crops in the three-year period 1929-1931 and was surpassed by com, oats, tame hay except soybean hay, and all wheat in the order named. During the same period the aggregate value of the soybean crop of the state represented percent of all crops and was surpassed by corn, oats, tame hay, and wheat. The average gross value of an acre for soybeans was sur passed only by com at an acre and was followed by tame hay at all wheat at and oats at an acre. In response to the need for an outlet for the increased supply of soybeans in Illinois, oil-extracting mills have been developed at various points. Soybean cake or its pulverized product, meal, resulting from the crushing process, has been utilized recently as a protein ingredient of mixed feeds. Manufacturers of such feeds have become important users of these products. More than 45 percent of the 1928-1931 crops of gathered soybeans produced in Illinois have been utilized by the crushing and feed manufacturing industries.

Book excerpt: The recent escalation of world food prices – particularly for cereals - prompted mass public indignation and demonstrations in many countries, from the price of tortilla flour in Mexico to that of rice in the Philippines and pasta in Italy. The crisis has important implications for future government trade and food security policies, as countries re-evaluate their reliance on potentially more volatile world markets to augment domestic supplies of staple foods. This book examines how government policies caused and responded to soaring world prices in the particular case of rice, which is the world's most important source of calories for the poor. Comparable case studies of policy reactions in different countries, principally across Asia, but also including the USA, provide the understanding necessary to evaluate the impact of trade policy on the food security of poor farmers and consumers. They also provide important insights into the concerns of developing countries that are relevant for future international trade negotiations in key agricultural commodities. As a result, more appropriate policies can be put in place to ensure more stable food supplies in the future. Published with the Food and Agriculture (FAO) Organization of the United Nations

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents frontier knowledge on the drivers of agriculture productivity to derive pragmatic policy advice for governments and development partners on reducing poverty and boosting shared prosperity. The analysis describes global trends and long-term sources of total factor productivity growth, along with broad trends in partial factor productivity for land and labor, revisiting the question of scale economies in farming. Technology is central to growth in agricultural productivity, yet across many parts of the developing world, readily available technology is never taken up. We investigate demand-side constraints of the technology equation to analyze factors that might influence producers, particularly poor producers, to adopt modern technology. Agriculture and food systems are rapidly transforming, characterized by shifting food preferences, the rise and growing sophistication of value chains, the increasing globalization of agriculture, and the expanding role of the public and private sectors in bringing about efficient and more rapid productivity growth. In light of this transformation, the analysis focuses on the supply side of the technology equation, exploring how the enabling environment and regulations related to trade and intellectual property rights stimulate Research and Development to raise productivity. The book also discusses emerging developments in modern value chains that contribute to rising productivity. This book is the fourth volume of the World Bank Productivity Project, which seeks to bring frontier thinking on the measurement and determinants of productivity to global policy makers.

This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we produce and consume food has a bigger impact on Americans' well-being than any other human activity. The food industry is the largest sector of our economy; food touches everything from our health to the environment, climate change, economic inequality, and the federal budget. From the earliest developments of agriculture, a major goal has been to attain sufficient foods that provide the energy and the nutrients needed for a healthy, active life. Over time, food production, processing, marketing, and consumption have evolved and become highly complex. The challenges of improving the food system in the 21st century will require systemic approaches that take full account of social, economic, ecological, and evolutionary factors. Policy or business interventions involving a segment of the food system often have consequences beyond the original issue the intervention was meant to address. A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System develops an analytical framework for assessing effects associated with the ways in which food is grown, processed, distributed, marketed, retailed, and consumed in the United States. The framework will allow users to recognize effects across the full food system, consider all domains and dimensions of effects, account for systems dynamics and complexities, and choose appropriate methods for analysis. This report provides example applications of the framework based on complex questions that are currently under debate: consumption of a healthy and safe diet, food security, animal welfare, and preserving the environment and its resources. A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System describes the U.S. food system and provides a brief history of its evolution into the current system. This report identifies some of the real and potential implications of the current system in terms of its health, environmental, and socioeconomic effects along with a sense for the complexities of the system, potential metrics, and some of the data needs that are required to assess the effects. The overview of the food system and the framework described in this report will be an essential resource for decision makers, researchers, and others to examine the possible impacts of alternative policies or agricultural or food processing practices.
