# Rapeseed cake – a cost-effective alternative: UFOP  : The Daily Digest

> UFOP reports that decentralized German oil mills are supplying regional markets with rapeseed cake, a GVO-free protein feed higher in fat than rapeseed meal. Rapeseed meal fell to new lows as demand stayed slack, while soybean meal stayed relatively expensive and recently surged on firm forward prices and a weak euro.

## Why it matters
