 MARKET

Bad corn growing weather, stormy economic forecasts and USDA accounting magic

     A poor US harvest and dry Latin American weather exert upward price pressure but the EU debt crisis weighs heavily
     on the market. Amidst this market volatility, the USDA balances American corn deficits and foreign corn supplies in a
     most coincidental manner.
 

Soy's market outlook turns bullish: Should you take a gamble on the weather?

     While a poor American harvest is offset by bloated South American inventories, corn is pushing up soy's cost and a Latin
     American drought could be on the horizon.
 

Why feed crop subsidies don't mix well with Thaifeed and livestock

     exports.
  

New markets and pricier cuts: Australian beef adapts to intensified competition

     seeking out fast growing, emerging markets. Although the sector faces another challenging year, the long-term picture 
     is bright.

     under the import onslaught? 
 

Philippine swine recovers strongly on back of import protection

     their industry up to world standards?
 

ICC: Leveraging yeast to optimize livestock health and performance

     Synthetic supplements are falling out of favour and natural, organically produced enzymes are becoming an essential
     component of livestock performance. Glycon Duarte Santos, president of Brazil-based ICC, elaborates on how yeast's
     diverse functionalities can boost animal health.
 

 CHINA

China's hyperinflating B vitamin markets

     The vitamin B7 (biotin) market is notoriously volatile while prices for B6 (pyridoxal phosphate) tend to be constant.
     This time, the cost of both vitamins skyrocketed.
  

 INDUSTRY

Evonik focuses on Asia for methionine

     Currently building a fifth methionine plant in Singapore, Evonik seeks to become even more global as it focuses on Asia
     as a region with a large current demand and big future consumption growth for DL-methionine, and prepares to increase
     total production capacity to 580,000 tonnes by 2014.
