GLOBAL - Strong price volatility in the grain & oilseed market, stagnating feed and animal protein demand in the EU, and the consolidation of global G&O traders have increased the pressure in the value chain.This has resulted in the geographical expansion of European compound feed players and the ongoing consolidation of the animal protein industry in the EU, according to the new Rabobank report "Where Is the Upside in the European GrainstoPork Value Chains? Leveraging Country Strengths".These factors will not weaken in the coming decades, forcing the industry to re-evaluate its position.

　　谷物和油籽市场强烈的价格波动，欧盟停滞不前的饲料与动物蛋白质需求，全球G&O贸易商联合，都增添了价值链的压力。根据荷兰拉博银行(Rabobank)报告“欧洲猪肉与谷物价值链风险管理在何处?利用国家力量”，压力导致欧洲配方饲料员工地理扩张和动物蛋白质产业团结一致。上述增添价值链压力的因素在未来几十年不会削弱，迫使行业重新改变自己的立场。
