Taiwan: Grain and Feed Annual
Rice supply in Taiwan is forecast to continue to outstrip demand despite government efforts to reduce production and dispose of excess stocks. Rice stocks are reported to have reached 830,000 tons on a brown basis after harvest in December 2018. Corn imports and consumption are forecast to remain stable next year. New animal feed rules and biosecurity rules aimed at preventing the spread of African Swine Fever (ASF) have promoted the use of commercial feed over food scraps, balancing out downward pressure from lower pork production.
