Israel: Grain and Feed Annual
Link to report:
Israel is almost completely dependent on imports to meet its grain and feed needs. In recent years, dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and corn gluten feed (CGF) imports have increased significantly. FAS Tel Aviv (Post) forecasts Israel’s imports of wheat - primarily feed wheat - in market year (MY) 2020/21 to reach 1.79 million metric tons (MMT), up 11 percent from Post’s MY 2019/20 figure. In MY 2019/20, U.S. wheat accounted for 11 percent of the market, up 4 percent from the previous year. Post forecasts Israel’s imports of corn in MY 2020/21 to reach 1.74 MMT, of which 147 thousand metric tons (TMT) are expected to be of U.S.-origin. In recent years, corn imports originate mainly from Ukraine, Argentina, and Brazil. Post forecasts this increase in grain and feed imports due to expected demand by the feed sector in the Palestinian Authority (PA).
