Abstract

This report is based on a study whose main objective was to collect information about the functioning of the EU markets for non-GM IP soybean and derived products. Data on volume of imports, on use by EU Member States and feed sub-sector, as well as on prices were collected from different sources. In addition, a survey to 360 operators in the soybean supply chain was conducted. Based on this study, we estimate that about 8.3% and 11.3% of the soybean and soybean meal imported by a group of 14 EU countries is segregated as non-GM. This represents about 2.7 million tonnes of soybean meal equivalent, mainly imported through the Netherlands, followed by Germany and France. However, the production for non-GM IP compound feeds is led by a different group of country that includes Germany, Hungary, France, United-Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Austria, by order of importance in absolute value. The demand for non-GM IP compound feed is driven by the poultry sector, followed by the cattle (for beef and dairy) and the pork sectors.
