While too early to know whether India’s oil meal exports are rebounding, domestic demand is growing, especially for de-oiled rice bran (DORB).That open market price has risen to $167/MT, impacting the biggest user and pricing of two major products. Oil Meal Exports Higher but Slowing Soymeal prices in India remain lower and have been stable since December 2016. This has helped soymeal exports, which reached 241,250 MT that month versus 97,750 MT in November 2016. Although they dropped to 155,160 MT in January 2017, that was still significantly higher than the 7,707 MT exported during the same month last year.Exports of all oil meals (soymeal, peanut meat, rapeseed mustard, rice bran extraction, etc.) totaled 301,556 MT in December 2016.

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.
