Oilseeds Soymeal Inventory Contracts Again with Modest Decrease Fluctuating demand at the regional level due to the varying impacts of African swine fever (ASF), which has resulted in some regions not being able to ship out hogs due to quarantines and an upswing in live chicken prices in other provinces, has caused wild swings in estimated regional soymeal inventories. For example, those stocks in Shandong Province fell nearly 39 percent in just seven days two weeks ago but then reversed course last week and climbed 20,900 MT (+37.0 percent) to 77,400 MT. Similarly, soymeal inventories in Guangdong Province were down 1.7 percent two weeks ago, but they increased 26,000 MT (+44.8 percent) to 84,000 MT last week. The largest declines last w...

Illuminating the value of technical research
On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
