Rabobank's 2017 food commodity outlook expects record US meat production to test consumer demand and exports to face headwinds from China trade tensions. For seafood, the bank forecasts global salmon production to grow about 4% after a sharp supply contraction, and it sees lower fishmeal prices.
Lower expected fishmeal prices reduce feed costs for aquaculture and livestock rations, while US meat oversupply and China trade risk could pressure livestock and feed grain demand.
