Overview

Excerpt from The Market for U. S. Feed Grains, Oilmeal, and Vegetable Oils in Greece Soybean meal enjoys a well-sustained, expanding market _for use in poultry feeds. Greek imports of soybean meal should increase to over tons by 1965. The United States may be expected to supply about 10, 000 tons of this amount in direct shipments. The remainder will probably be supplied by Israel, Italy, or other adjacent processors of U. S. Soybeans. Many of these countries appear more suited to supply on a continuing, timely basis the small lots of soybean meal for which Greek importers have been contracting. Feed-grain consumption in Greece has been increasing steadily but slowly. Total con sumption was metric tons in 1960 and in 1961, and the forecast for 1962 is Domestic production has not been sufficient to meet this increasing demand; there fore the government has been obliged to meet the deficit through imports of corn, barley, and relatively small quantities of grain sorghums. Feed grain imports in 1960 were 82, 000 metric tons; in 1961 they were and plans for 1962 are for the importation of 135, 000. Increased production in 1961 reduced the 1962 import requirements. Increases in animal-product output will also continue at a slow but steady rate. Poultry production, which has shown a phenomenal increase in the last 5 years, is expected by some important producers to level off about 1963. Feed - grain production will not increase at a rate fast enough to meet livestock feeding requirements, and for at least the next 5 years, Greece's feed-grain imports will range from 100, 000 to 150, 000 tons.
