Introduction: Bill Tierney, an agricultural economist at Kansas State University, told DTN subscribers on Thursday that, according to preliminary data from the export inspection report of the U.S Department of agriculture, U.S corn accounted for 67% of Japan's total coarse grain imports in the 2000 / 01 agricultural year Tierney said the data included imports of feed wheat Although the total is lower than that of the previous year, Tierney points out that in recent 1997, the share of the United States in Japan's coarse grain imports was only 63% Tierney said he expects Japan's total feed / feed wheat imports to be flat or slightly lower than in 2000 / 01, but the U.S share will rise to 68% - 70% It is believed that we should pay close attention to the situation in Japan, because it is found that dairy cows suffer from bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) What impact will this have on the Japanese cattle industry? Banning meat and bone meal in feed will definitely affect the demand prospect of Japanese feed corn and Wheat Import in the coming months.
