The UK feed industry has urged livestock producers to plan their feed needs through late spring 2026 because of pressure on supply this autumn. The pressure stems from geopolitical events, a challenging UK harvest and an exceptionally dry summer in some regions.
The AIC said the UK imports 46% of its 16 million tonnes of annual raw materials, mainly soya and other protein meals.
Tight UK supply of imported protein meals and a weak domestic harvest point to firmer protein meal prices and higher feed costs for buyers. Early forward buying could add to near-term price pressure.
After 1,079 past bullish weather events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.0%), and +0.9% over 20.
