Taiwan: Grain and Feed Annual
Taiwan is essentially completely reliant on wheat and corn imports, whereas domestic production accounting for approximately 90% of the total staple rice consumed. Wheat import demand for MY2016/16 and MY2016/17 will remain high with just a small increase of 0.4% to 1,360 TMT. The U.S. wheat share is anticipated to increase to 73.5%, at one million metric tons. Corn import estimates for MY2015/16 and MY2016/17 both are 4.1 MMT in line with an anticipated 2% recovery from animal disease outbreaks. The domestic rice production target remains at 1,144 TMT from 260 THA of land. The rice import forecast is constant at 126 TMT of which 56 TMT is U.S.-origin, as outlined in the WTO TRQ.
