USSEC Korea provided technical assistance to Korean feed mills that received shipments of U.S. soybean meal in January.  The two Panamax loads and one combination shipment were contracted between Korea Feed Association member feed mills and ADM last September.
The feed mills are using or are about to use the U.S. soybean meal in their feed formulation. USSEC Korea’s animal utilization technical director shared nutritional recommendations to the feed mill staff based on the data provided in USSEC’s whitepaper, “The Nutritional Value of U.S. Soybean Meal”.  So that the staff would most effectively use U.S. soybean meal in their feed formulation, USSEC compared the digestible amino acids and energy in U.S. soybean meal with competing soybean meals from different origins.
USSEC will continue to support Korean buyers of U.S. soybean meal.
