A European Commission feed protein balance sheet shows the EU produces about 78 to 80% of its animal feed protein needs, out of 85 million tonnes of crude protein consumed annually. Oilseed meals supply almost a quarter of feed protein, and the EU produces only 26% of its oilseed meal requirement.
The EU's heavy reliance on imported soybean and rapeseed meal means its feed protein costs remain tied to global oilseed meal prices and import flows.
After 250 past neutral report events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
