> Taiwan's Agriculture Minister told reporters at a legislative committee review of the 2027 budget that the ministry has launched measures to address concerns over a soybean meal shortage. The measures include expanded production by industry peers, feed formula adjustments, and imports with a 5% tariff exemption. The ministry said supply will be sufficient through the end of the year.

## Why it matters

Taiwan's hog and poultry feed depends on imported soybean meal, so the government's import incentives may support demand for SBM. Because the government says supply is secure, the effect on prices should stay limited.
