China, the world's largest food consumer, is expected to become a major
grain importer by 2015, head of a global grain trader said in a recent
industry forum.
Sunny Verghese, CEO of Olam International Ltd, a Singapore-based grain
trader, said because of diminishing resources of land and water, China
is on the way to become a major importer of corm, wheat and rice by 2015.
Farmers have resumed planting rice for market only 15 kilometres
(nine miles) from Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
station.
It was the first time
since the March 2011 earthquake-tsunami-nuclear disaster that farmers
have gone inside the former 20-kilometre "no-go" zone around the doomed
plant to sow rice intended for sale.
Suffolk-based pig equipment specialists, Quality Equipment, has produced
a new brochure on feed handling systems. It provides pig farmers with a
wealth of information on all types of kit needed to transport feed
around the farm and to the pigs.
