Feed Planet 83 - Şubat 2026

FEED PLANET • FEBRUARY - ŞUBAT 2026 68 SPECIAL COVER • ÖZEL DOSYA South America remains the EU’s dominant soybean meal supply region, with Brazil accounting for more than 52% of imports over the past five years. Market participants said EUDR compliance requirements could create operational challenges for South American exporters, particularly rela- ted to traceability systems and deforestation-free certifica- tion requirements. ASF AND AVIAN FLU: STRUCTURAL RISKS TO FEED DEMAND Animal disease continues to weigh on the European feed sector, with ASF affecting multiple EU countries throughout 2025. Market participants said ASF remains a key risk fac- tor for the pork and feed sectors, particularly in major pork- producing regions, including Catalonia in Spain. Spain, the EU’s largest pork exporter, reported an outb- reak on Nov. 28, 2025, with subsequent cases reported in wild boar populations in early 2026, according to market participants. The developments have renewed concern ac- ross feed and pork markets. Market participants in Spain’s animal feed sector said they are preparing for lower feed demand in the short to medium term. Although the full impact remains unclear, feed mills told Platts they have been “holding off” on purc- hasing feed ingredients for 2026. “ASF is potentially shaving 2026 feed demand. If ex- port demand for pork meat vanishes, demand for feed will shrink,” a feed mill buyer said. However, other market participants said the broader mar- ket structure remains relatively stable. Spain has prior expe- rience managing ASF outbreaks, and major pork importers Güney Amerika, son beş yılda ithalatın %52’sinden fazlasını karşılayan Brezilya öncülüğünde, AB’nin en büyük soya küspe- si tedarik bölgesi olmayı sürdürüyor. Piyasa katılımcıları, EUDR uyum gerekliliklerinin özellikle izlenebilirlik sistemleri ve or- mansızlaşmasız sertifikasyon şartları açısından Güney Amerika- lı ihracatçılar için operasyonel zorluklar yaratabileceğini belirtti. ASF VE KUŞ GRİBİ: YEM TALEBİ İÇİN YAPISAL RİSKLER Hayvan hastalıkları, 2025 boyunca birçok AB ülkesini etkile- yen ASF sebebiyle Avrupa yem sektörünü baskılamaya devam ediyor. Piyasa katılımcıları, ASF’nin özellikle İspanya’nın Kata- lonya bölgesi gibi başlıca domuz üretim merkezlerinde, domuz eti ve yem sektörleri için temel bir risk unsuru olmaya devam ettiğini söyledi.
