Oatly is working with US farmers and millers to bring oats into corn-and-soy crop rotations for food use. The company has set up a pilot program to incentivize growers and build a local oat supply chain.
The effort aims to add food-grade oat acreage in the American Midwest.
New contracted oat acreage in the Midwest could gradually increase domestic oat supply, which is mildly bearish for oat prices. The volumes involved are small relative to the feed market.
After 17 past bearish trade events, Oats moved a median +1.2% over 5 sessions (71% higher; middle half -4.2% to +5.0%), and -0.2% over 20.
