Thus, on all counts – be it the output, the global price level and
the global competitive pressure -- for India, it is going to be an
excellent year full of promise and wholesome performance.
Out of the total Indian oil meals exports, Soybean meal exports
constitute almost 90%. Last year Soybean meal exports
contributed Rs. 4070 crores to the exchequer and this year it
will go up further. This is important since almost two-thirds of
India’s annual production of Soymeal is being exported. The
Soybean Industry also contributes another Rs. 3500 Crores by
way of import substitution of Edible oil to the domestic Edible
Oil pool.
GLOBAL SOYMEAL TRADE
World Trade - 52.98 Million MT (Approx.)
Presently we are supplying only 4.196 Million tons out of the huge demand
of 52.98 million tons. A vast potential exists for further increase in Indian
Soybean Meal exports especially to Asian countries where India should be
the largest soymeal supplier in 2007-08.
India - A key Supplier to Asian Countries
Our two neighboring SAARC countries - Pakistan & Bangladesh, both represent markets
with potential of exports of 0.5 Million tons per year.
In the recent years, the major markets for Indian Soyameal have been - Vietnam, China,
Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Thailand and Philippines. This year provides an
opportunity to consolidate our hold, capitalizing on other favourable factors as well of
lower freight advantage and containerized cargo shipments of smaller consignments,
competitive price and vastly improved port and shipping facilities.

Export from India by surface (Rail/Road) to neighbouring countries are 300,000 to 5000,000 MT in

Statistics just shown illustrate clearly that it is vital to
sustain the strength in our traditional markets in East Asia
and monitor in particular changes going on in major
consuming countries like China and Vietnam: An alert eye on
continuing presence in Middle East and Africa is also
required. We also need to constantly review our globally
competitive position and the way in which we could capitalize
on the unique advantage of protein rich Indian Soymeal of
Non GMO variety. Non-GMO variety can emerge as a
reassuring factor whenever diseases such as bird flu in
poultry and blue ear in pigs crop up.

The focus has come on tapping the tremendous scope for expanding
cultivation of soybean and other oilseeds and steady increase in output as
well as productivity. COOIT is playing a proactive catalytic role in regard to
increase in productivity per hectare which is very low compared to the global
average. This is a field in which coordinated push by industry, government
and research agencies is called for. Higher production and productivity would
enhance industry’s competitive strength. It has become imperative to
increase both production and productivity to take advantage on a
competitive basis of enormous global demand for Soymeal and other meals
as well as steadily increasing domestic demand.
MNC’S INTEREST IN INDIA
While the sickness syndrome may have dampened the spirits in
past years, the industry is now back on its growth track.

Over half a million tonne Indian Soymeal has already been contracted till mid
September 2007. Most of the trade has taken place on the basis of premium
over December CBOT Soymeal quotes ranging from US$ 10 to US$ 22 per
short tonne. On this basis, the average price realization so far is estimated at
US$ 300 per metric tonne FOB Indian Port, which is almost 40% higher
compared to the previous two years.
It is expected that the premium may further rise in case the ocean freight
rates from South America and North America to Asian destinations do not
soften. In such an event, the supplies from these origins would mostly be
destined upto European continent especially for soymeal.
3rd Stage: Jan., 2008 onwards
Soybean sowing and crop development in South America would be the key
and ocean freight rates to Asia would impact the Soymeal prices. If there is
no increase in production prospects and ocean freight rates hover around the
same high level, then there would be a high draw down on the Indian stocks
due to continued buying expected from Asian countries for Indian Soybean
Meal. China could be a star buyer taking away a major chunk of Indian
Soymeal exports. Hence we can be assured of a bright and buoyant
marketing scenario for Indian Soybean meal, and can clock a billion US dollar
of export earning much earlier than we could have normally anticipated. This
could well turn out to be a really solid booster dose.
STRATEGY FOR THE FUTURE:
To sum up, the oil meal scenario has both challenges as well as
opportunities in equal measure. We need to concentrate our
attention especially on the following:
