Pakistan: Oilseeds and Products Update 2014

Pakistan recently purchased 40,000 metric tons of U.S. soybean meal. This is the largest ever purchase of U.S. soybean meal by Pakistani importers and, if shipped, would be the first significant shipment since 1997. Larger importers continue to focus their buying interest on South American and potentially U.S. supplies of soybean meal. Smaller importers are likely to continue sourcing from India. Imports of sunflower seed and rapeseed have been strong as have imports of vegetable oil. Pakistan’s cotton crop, the largest source of domestically produced vegetable oil, is being harvested and is estimated at 9.8 million 480 lb bales.
