Russia and Ukraine are the world's major Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) producers. Affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, animal feed with wheat, corn and other Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) as the main raw materials is also in short supply in Italy, many cows face slaughter due to insufficient feed stocks
Corn, one of the main feed raw materials used in Italian animal husbandry, is mainly imported from Ukraine. Italy's National Association of livestock feed manufacturers said recently that due to the lack of timely supply, the inventory of raw materials required for feed production is only enough to maintain for 20 days to a month this also worries many Italian animal husbandry practitioners and operators.
Fosco, CEO of an Italian dairy company: the consequences of the shortage of raw materials have appeared in the farm, first of all, we should consider reducing feed. The more extreme method is , slaughtering some animals , so as to ensure the normal operation of the farm.
Michelle, acting president of the National Association of livestock feed manufacturers of Italy: after Ukraine stops exporting feed, Moldova, Serbia and Hungary will also stop exporting because of protecting their own production. In Italian ports, although ships from these countries arrive every week, but our feed inventory can only meet the supply of 25 days .
According to the latest data, Italy needs about 9 million tons of corn for making animal feed, but China's corn output is only 6 million tons, with a gap of about 3 million tons . According to the estimation of relevant departments, Italy needs to increase the planting area of at least 300000 hectares to meet the needs of China's animal husbandry.
Italy's National Association of livestock feed manufacturers warned that if alternative supply channels are not started, Italy's feed production will inevitably stop, which will have a serious adverse impact on the country's animal husbandry and lead to a shortage of beef, pork, poultry and dairy products
