It is estimated that Japan's soybean meal imports will be 600000 tons in 2002 / 03

Introduction: Agriculture counselor of the U.S Department of Agriculture reports Soybean meal and rapeseed meal are the main protein raw materials of Japanese mixed feed About 90% of soybean meal is used as feed, and the rest is used as seasoning Rapeseed meal and fish meal are only used as feed and fertilizer The total output of meal decreased Due to the weak demand, the market demand for livestock was insufficient, which led to the decrease of feed consumption In September 2001, the first case of BSE was found in Japan, and the demand for plant meal increased The emergence of the disease forced the Japanese government to ban the use of meat and bone meal as raw materials for cattle breeding In addition to government regulations, the livestock industry and feed factories are not willing to use animal meal as feed, but use oil meal instead of animal meal Therefore, it is expected that the total demand for meal in 2002 / 03 market will reach the level of 2001 / 02 As the domestic soybean meal production can not meet the demand growth requirements, it is expected that the meal import volume will remain at the current level in 2002 / 03 It is estimated that in 2001 / 02 (October to September of the next year), the soybean crushing capacity in Japan was 3.813 million tons, the initial storage capacity of soybean meal was 385000 tons, the output of soybean meal was 2.941 million tons, the annual import volume of market was 610000 tons, the total supply volume was 3.936 million tons, the annual export volume of market was 0 tons, the consumption of domestic industry was 300000 tons, the consumption of domestic food was 60000 tons, and the consumption of domestic feed was 3.174 million tons The total domestic consumption is 3.534 million tons, and the ending inventory is 402000 tons It is estimated that in 2002 / 03 (October to September of the next year) Japan's soybean crushing capacity is 3.8 million tons, the beginning storage capacity of soybean meal is 402000 tons, the output of soybean meal is 2.9 million tons, the market annual import capacity is 600000 tons, the total supply capacity is 3902000 tons, the market annual export capacity is 0 tons, the domestic industrial consumption capacity is 300000 tons, the domestic consumption capacity is 60000 tons, the domestic feed consumption capacity is 3.32 million tons, and the domestic consumption capacity is 60000 tons The total consumption is 3.56 million tons, and the ending inventory is 342000 tons.
