A Rabobank report says China's government is pursuing a soymeal reduction campaign to cut dependence on imported soybeans. Rabobank expects lower soymeal inclusion in Chinese feed rations even as feed consumption grows at a low single-digit rate.
It argues this will open opportunities for insect and microbial protein startups, though most remain in development.
Lower soymeal inclusion in Chinese feed would reduce demand for soybean imports and soybean meal, which is bearish for soy complex prices. Demand for alternative protein ingredients such as fishmeal could rise if those replacements gain share.
