Oilseeds: World Markets and Trade United States Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service September 2021 Oilseeds: World Markets and Trade India Allows GE Soybean Meal Imports in Response to Soaring Domestic Meal Prices Soaring exports of India’s genetically engineered (GE)-free soybean meal, rising on strong demand from the United States and Europe, have created a perfect storm for India’s livestock producers. India’s total soybean meal exports in MY 2020/21 reached 1.9 million tons through May, more than double last year’s total. This dramatic increase has tightened supplies and boosted prices, negatively impacting feed margins. Domestic soybean meal prices diverged from global levels in early 2021 as supplies tightened and as exports continued. Prices at the end of August stood near $1,200/ton, roughly three-fold over average global prices. India’s poultry, egg, dairy, and aquaculture producers, who depend on domestic soybean meal for feed, pressured the Indian government to take historic action. On August 24, the Indian government relaxed its import policy through October 31 to allow up to 1.2 million tons of soybean meal only through Nhava Sheva port on the west coast and the Petrapole border crossing on the Bangladeshi border. On September 3, India announced these shipments could also arrive via three additional seaports – Mumbai, Tuticorin, and Visakhapatnam. India Soybean Meal Exports with Average Monthly Export Prices 400 $1,200 350 300 $1,000 250 $800 200 $600 150 $/MTs $400 Thousand Tons Thousand 100 50 $200 0 $0 India Exports* Brazil (Paranagua FOB) India (Mumbai FOB) Source: Ministry of Commerce & Industry of India; International Grains Council. *Trade data available through May 2021 India’s move to allow GE soybean meal imports stands to benefit livestock and aquaculture producers. However, the government action has been criticized by activists questioning its legality and environmental safety. Others argue the government’s action is too late, as India’s soybean harvest will start arriving in October, helping to soften domestic soybean meal prices. India’s initial announcement allowing imports of GE soybean meal through October 31 (7 weeks from now), via only two ports – one land and one ocean port primarily for containers – appeared to limit bulk shipments from the United States and South America. Initially, this would have constricted the volume of meal that can enter. However, the opening of three additional seaports widens the opportunity for bulk shipments and introduces the possibility to divert shipments in transit to other Asian markets to meet the deadline. Given this, there is a better chance of reaching the 1.2-million-ton limit through direct or diverted bulk shipments from the United States and South America, though the longer sailing time means the window is still short.

This more than offsets gains in soybean production in the United States and peanut production in India. Oilseed imports are down marginally as lower rapeseed imports more than offset higher soybean imports. Exports are fractionally higher as larger soybean exports more than offset reduced Canada rapeseed exports. Global crush is cut over 1 million tons primarily on lower rapeseed crush in the EU, Canada, and the United States. Global ending stocks are boosted over 2 million tons as much larger soybean and sunflowerseed stocks more than offset a nearly 1-million-ton drop in rapeseed stocks. Global production of protein meals is forecast at 362 million tons, down 800,000 from August, primarily on lower rapeseed meal production. Protein meal imports are raised almost 1 million tons primarily on higher India soybean meal imports. Protein meal consumption and stocks are mostly unchanged. Global vegetable oil production, trade, and consumption are slightly lower while stocks are up nearly 1 million tons on higher palm oil stocks in Indonesia and India more than offsetting reductions of soybean and rapeseed oil stocks. The projected U.S. season-average farm price for soybeans is down 95 cents to $12.90 per bushel. PROJECTION FOR 2020/21 Global 2020/21 oilseed production is forecast at 601 million tons. Production is boosted over 1 million tons from August on larger sunflowerseed production in Argentina, rapeseed production in Canada, EXPORT PRICES and peanut production in Senegal. Global oilseed imports are raised nearly 2 million tons on higher China soybean imports more than offsetting declines in rapeseed imports. Oilseed exports are up nearly 1 million tons on higher soybean exports from Argentina. Oilseed crush is down 1 million tons primarily on lower Argentina soybean crush. Global oilseed stocks are up 3 million tons on larger China and Brazil soybean and Argentina sunflowerseed stocks. Global protein meal production is down nearly 1 million tons on lower Argentina and U.S. soybean meal production. Protein meal imports are up about 700,000 tons mostly on higher India soybean meal imports. Global consumption and stocks are mostly unchanged. While global vegetable oil production is marginally lower, imports are cut nearly 2 million tons primarily on lower India palm oil imports. As a result, palm oil exports contract over 1 million tons on lower Indonesia exports with stocks raised 1 million mostly on higher Indonesia stocks. The projected U.S. season-average farm price for soybeans is down 15 cents to $10.90 per bushel.

In this current research, we have focused on the molecular and physiological basis of root system variation in canola (Brassica napus L.). Genome wide association mappings in a diverse canola germplasm panel with ~37,500 and ~30,200 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were conducted under greenhouse and field conditions, respectively. A total of 52 significant SNP markers associated with different root architectural traits were identified in the greenhouse study. Majority of the markers were distributed on five chromosomes, A01, A02, A04, C03 and C06, of B. napus. Twenty-two candidate genes related to root growth and development were detected within 50 kbp upstream and downstream of the significant markers.

  • How Rapeseed and Soy Biodiesel Drive Oil Palm Expansion
    www.theicct.org BRIEFING JULY 2017 How rapeseed and soy biodiesel drive oil palm expansion This briefing paper reviews a recent study by Santeramo (2017) estimating the degree of substitution between various oils and fats and explains what its results mean for the greenhouse gas performance of biodiesel. Santeramo (2017) finds that an increase in the price of rapeseed oil in the European Union (EU) and of soybean oil in the United States (U.S.) both lead to increased palm oil imports to those regions. These results are important because they indicate that rapeseed biodiesel production in the EU and soybean oil production in the U.S. will contribute to high land use change emissions associated with oil palm expansion. This effect limits – or even reverses – the climate benefits of policies supporting food-based biodiesel. BIOFUELS, LAND USE CHANGE, AND PALM OIL The role of food-based biofuels in climate mitigation policies has long been controversial because of their impact on food prices and land use. Biofuels do not categorically deliver greenhouse gas (GHG) savings compared to petroleum; the biofuel crops must be grown somewhere, and that land use is associated – directly and indirectly – with GHG emissions. If a forest is cut down so the land can be used to grow biofuel crops, the GHG savings from avoided petroleum use will not offset the amount of carbon that is released from disturbed vegetation and soils within a reasonable timeframe. That is why direct land use change on forest land to produce biofuels is prohibited in biofuel policies in the EU and the U.S.

  • A Marine Waste Biorefinery
    A Marine Waste Biorefinery A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at Newcastle University by Ahmed Said Hamed Al Hatrooshi November 2019 Abstract Biodiesel is a renewable alternative to ‘petro-diesel’. There is already an established, conventional production technology based on refined vegetable oils. However, this is always more expensive than producing petroleum-based diesel, mainly due to the feedstock cost. Use of a cheap, non- edible feedstock, such as waste shark liver oil (WSLO), would reduce the biodiesel production cost and make the process economically viable. WSLO is obtained by exposing sharks’ livers to the sun until they melt and collecting the oil produced. Sharks’ livers comprise 25-30% of their body weight. Historically, the discarded WSLO was used for waterproofing wooden boats. However, this application is no longer required, as modern boats are made of fibreglass. The excess WSLO derived from these discarded sharks’ livers has great potential for being further processed into valuable products, including biodiesel, squalene and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA). The glyceride components of the WSLO can be converted into biodiesel using existing biodiesel processing technologies, while the squalene, EPA and DHA may be extracted and sold as value-added products through biorefinery processes. This study investigated the production of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from WSLO using both acid (sulfuric acid, H2SO4) and base (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) catalysts. Due to the high levels of free fatty acids (FFA) in WSLO, homogeneous alkali-catalysed transesterification was less effective than the acid-catalysed process, resulting in a maximum WSLO to FAME conversion of only 40% after 15 min at a 60°C temperature, a 1.5 wt.% of NaOH catalyst and a 6:1 molar ratio of methanol to WSLO.

    CB(1)1370/99-00(01) 香港食品委員會的信頭 Letterhead of THE HONG KONG FOOD COUNCIL (Governing Body of The Hong Kong Food Trades Association Ltd.) 2000 April 13 The Hon Margaret Ng Chairman Bills Committee on Trade Marks Bill Legislative Council Legislative Council Building 8 Jackson Road Central Hong Kong Dear the Hon Margaret Ng, Position Paper on Parallel Imports We write with reference to recent debates on parallel imports. The Council’s position has always been that we will support whatever will lower costs for our consumers in the strongest belief that the lower the cost the lesser the burden and therefore more consumption and this must be good for everybody. In food however, we need to be more cautious less:- (1) our food safety standards will be compromised and; (2) we make HK/China a laughing stock to the world. On (1) food safety standards:- Bring trade mark owners into the picture Please understand that different countries have different food safety standards. Ingredients being used and considered safe or requiring no mention in labeling in one country may be considered dangerous and are banned in another countries (the recent incident with preservatives in oyster sauce which got into trouble in America is a case in point). Our concern is that parallel imports in food when “liberalized” will greatly increase the introduction of such possible non-compliance food in our system. We are concerned that our existing monitoring system in government will not be able to cope, should parallel trade becomes the norm rather than the exception (as is under our current system).
