Taiwan: Grain and Feed Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Taiwan CY2015 hog and poultry production are estimated to decrease 3% and 6%, respectively, due to ongoing disease issues. Barring unforeseen disease resurgences, Taiwan’s hog and poultry sectors are expected to fully recover by CY2016. Taiwan corn imports for MY2015/16 are forecast to recover to 4.50 MMT from the estimated 5% reduction in MY2014/15 due to local animal disease outbreaks. Taiwan’s wheat import demand for MY2014/15 is projected lower to 1.265 MMT due to food safety concerns with no anticipated feed wheat imports. Wheat import forecast for MY2015/16 remains high at 1,360 TMT, with the United States maintaining a significant market share of 78%. A lingering drought in Taiwan has, thus far, minimally impacted Taiwan’s total rice supply due to sufficient stocks. U.S. rice export forecast for MY2015/16 is 56 TMT on a milled basis.
