Impacts of African Swine Fever on China's Feed Industry and Soy Demand

Impacts of African Swine Fever on China's Feed Industry and Soy Demand | ASIES | Scoop.it

In the short term, outbreaks of African swine fever will depress China’s feed consumption, especially hog feed. As a result of higher inclusion ratios in feed rations and a growing poultry sector, soymeal usage will only experience a modest decline. We expect China’s total feed/soybean demand to decline in 2019 – albeit significantly less than the decline in pork production – followed by a slight recovery in 2020. African swine fever will act as a catalyst to speed up feed industry upgrades – including, but not limited to, a diversified product mix, the higher adoption of commercial compound feed, and ongoing industry consolidation.

When it’s too late, we’ll realize the signs were obvious. We’ll look back at the staggering 83% decline in freshwater species populations – more than twice the rate of terrestrial and marine – and wonder why we didn’t take action to safeguard the rivers and lakes in which these species thrive.

What's at stake and at risk in the U.S.-Japan trade talks | ASIES | Scoop.it

More than two years after U.S. President Donald Trump walked away from a regional Asia-Pacific trade agreement, the U.S. and Japan — the world’s largest and third-largest economies — are negotiating a deal of their own. Both sides insist they want a “win-win” outcome, but as evidenced by the Trump administration’s tariff battles with China and the European Union, there’s also potential for serious economic damage if things go bad.
