Ecuador: Grain and Feed Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Uncertainty of government corn policies and price support mechanisms contributed to decreased production with farmers retiring or shifting to more profitable crops. Corn consumption is down as the livestock and aquaculture sectors continue to look for more cost effective feed alternatives. Wheat imports are up, due to increased use in the aquaculture sector. Rice production is up due to increased planting area, good weather conditions, and improved income exceptions. Rice by-products are increasingly being used in animal feed.
