WINNIPEG, Jan. 18 (CNS Canada) – Indonesian corn production is up considerably on the year, which may limit the country’s feed grain imports in 2017. After importing 2 million tonnes of feed wheat and 840,000 tonnes of corn in 2016, the Indonesian Feed Association expects that the country’s feed imports may drop to zero by 2018 “at the latest.”
While Indonesia may be backing away from the import market, Mexico is reportedly looking to bring in more corn due in part to high local input costs, according to reports.
