In an assessment for Miller Magazine, IGC Executive Director Arnaud Petit clarifies that while tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have heightened concerns over energy, freight and fertilizer markets, the disruption does not mirror the systemic grain supply shock seen in the Black Sea.
Escalating tensions around the Strait of Hormuz are rapidly repricing risk across shipping, insurance and energy, pushing up landed grain costs, tightening fertilizer availability and raising food-security concerns in import-dependent markets.
İDMA İstanbul 2026 aims to bring professional visitors from more than 140 countries to İstanbul as the Turkish milling machinery industry seeks to showcase its manufacturing strength and export performance on a global stage, Muhammet Ali Kalkan, Chairman of HAGE Group, said.
According to the latest data shared by the Turkish Feed Manufacturers’ Association (TÜRKİYEMBİR), Türkiye’s compound feed production rose by 4.8% in 2025, reaching 30.7 million tons. The strongest growth was recorded in cattle and sheep feed, while poultry and aquafeed saw more modest increases.
Europe’s food security depends on a stable supply of specialty feed ingredients, yet high import dependency leaves the sector vulnerable to geopolitical risks and market shocks.
Once regarded as a niche solution, feed enzymes have moved to the centre of discussions around animal performance, feed efficiency and environmental sustainability. Yet much of the biological potential offered by key enzyme groups such as phytases and NSPases remains underutilised. Re-examining this potential could open the door to a new phase in animal nutrition.
The 4th European Sorghum Congress, held in Budapest, brought together a wide audience—from researchers and producers to industry leaders and policy-makers—to examine sorghum’s rising profile across feed, food and energy value chains.
Mycotoxins remain a serious and persistent challenge in animal farming. These toxic fungal metabolites contaminate feed and raw materials, posing a substantial risk to animal health, productivity and food safety.
Türkiye’s leading pet food exporter, Lider Pet Food, produces not only pet food but also ‘the recipe for happiness for our companion animals’ at its 70,000-square-meter technology hub in Manisa, Türkiye.
Volatile raw materials, rising energy costs and tighter quality demands are putting feed mills under pressure. Andritz outlines how predictive control can help operators stabilize drying, reduce energy use and improve yield.
EFSA’s newly appointed Executive Director, Dr. Kriz, sets out a new roadmap for the Authority built around speed, innovation and cooperation. Positioning feed safety as the starting point of the food chain, EFSA frames the transformation of scientific risk assessment and stronger international coordination as strategic priorities.
France’s largest cereal producer, Intercéréales brings together farmers, storage operators, and processors to safeguard quality, drive innovation, and promote sustainable practices across the sector. Its collaborative approach ensures French cereals remain competitive at home and in international feed markets.
Geopolitics, regulation, animal health risks, and cost pressures are setting the tone for animal protein and animal nutrition markets in 2026. This market outlook explores how these forces are reshaping production, trade flows, feed economics, and sustainability strategies across global supply chains.
Europe’s feed market is moving through the 2025/26 season under uncertainty, driven by regulatory developments, animal disease risks and shifting global supply dynamics.
Poultry performance is inseparable from the functional integrity of the gastrointestinal tract, yet the concept of “gut health” has expanded to a point where it no longer offers sufficient precision for modern production systems.
The international trade of agri-commodities is essential factor in food security in a world of incr...
Flake technologies enable a controlled physical and biochemical transformation of starch-based grains, improving energy utilization efficiency in ruminant nutrition.
Volatile input costs, rising energy prices and shifting regulations are forcing feed mills to rethink how and where they invest. Growth is no longer measured by capacity alone, but by efficiency, flexibility and the ability to operate reliably under pressure. Across markets, investment decisions are becoming more selective, more strategic and more closely tied to long-term resilience. The question facing the industry is no longer how much to build, but how wisely.
Transboundary animal diseases (TADs) are emerging as a defining risk for the global livestock and aquaculture economy, threatening a sector worth up to USD 3.3 trillion. With annual losses already reaching hundreds of billions of dollars, countries are under growing pressure to reinforce cooperation, sustain prevention efforts and protect food security from escalating animal health threats.
As transboundary diseases spread faster and funding walls close in, the livestock sector is edging toward a dangerous tipping point. The world’s feed and protein supply chains are now exposed to system-wide shocks that no single country or institution can contain alone.
