Taiwan: Oilseeds and Products Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

MY2018/19 and MY2019/2020 soybean imports are forecast at 2.7 million tons on continued strong demand. An important change in the livestock industry was Taiwan’s ban on feeding non-heat treated food scraps to pigs in order to prevent the spread of African Swine Fever (ASF). This is helping to stabilize demand for soybeans and commercial animal feed despite downward pressure on animal herds. U.S. soybean market share in Taiwan jumped 31 percent in CY2018 to 86 percent due to trade tensions with China and the shifting trade flows that have resulted.
