# Chung Lien Halts Production, Cutting Soymeal Supply for Hog Feed; Ministry Announces Three Measures

> Chung Lien Oil, which holds about 40% of Taiwan's market, has suspended production and reduced soybean meal supply used in hog feed. Taiwan's Agriculture Minister said the ministry will coordinate producers with 60% of the market to raise output, have its livestock research institute reformulate feed to use less soymeal, and import soymeal with a 5% tariff waiver if needed. The ministry expects supply for the hog industry to be sufficient through the end of December.

## Why it matters

Taiwan imports most of its soybean meal, so a domestic processing stoppage raises import demand for soymeal and could add slight upward pressure on SBM prices. The import tariff waiver and feed reformulation should limit the effect.
