05/04/13: Food safety in South East Asia; damaged feed and digestibility; CME grain trading hours cut

Food safety and traceability are becoming as important as quality and price in South East Asia, according to one of the region's biggest flour milling organisations. In an interview with ABC Rural, Alex Lee Kim Teck, CEO, Interflour, Malaysia describes the growing focus on a transparent supply chain.

Storing and protecting feed properly is essential for any successful farm. If not stored properly, the quality can deteriorate rapidly. This article looks at the effects of heat damaged sunflower meal and cotton seed meal on amino acid digestibility in pigs.

CME, the owner of world's largest grain trading market, will cut its grain trading hours next week in response to customer demands. From next week, electronic trading will be reduced from 21 to 17 hours a day from 5 p.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday to Friday on the Chicago Board of Trade. Buyers had complained that long trading hours reduced liquidity and weakened enthusiasm.
