Turkey’s Ag-PPI up 18.81% annually in July: Grain and livestock trends signal shifting cost dynamics
Turkey’s Agricultural Producer Price Index (Ag-PPI) rose by 18.81% year-on-year in July, driven by strong annual gains in raw milk and cattle categories. For compound feed and flour millers, a 2.47% monthly pull-back in grain and oilseed prices offers temporary cost relief, whereas poultry and egg producers face severe market pressures.

Energy efficiency in the feed industry: Sustainable and low-cost production strategies - 2
In this second installment of our three-part guide focusing on energy efficiency and low-cost manufacturing in feed mills, we examine the pelleting and conditioning processes, which account for the largest share of total energy consumption. Through empirical case studies, we analyze how technical parameters ranging from efficient steam conditioning and direct-drive presses to die-roller optimization and ration pelletability can yield improvements of 10–25% in electrical consumption and 5–25% in press throughput capacity.

Strategies for reducing the “Farm-to-Fork” carbon footprint in sustainable livestock and feed production
In the delicate balance between food security and the climate crisis, the livestock sector and its lifeblood, the feed industry, stand at a critical turning point. By addressing the entire supply chain extending “From Farm to Fork” with a holistic approach, from regenerative agricultural practices in the field to green steps in logistics, and from energy efficiency in feed mills to next-generation smart additive technologies that increase digestibility in the ration, reducing the carbon footprint in animal production is no longer a commercial preference but an ecological imperative.

Energy efficiency in the feed sector: Sustainable and low-cost production strategies - 1
Energy consumption, which constitutes the largest operating expense in compound feed production after raw material costs, has become the most critical agenda item for feed mills in line with narrowing profit margins and carbon emission targets. In these facilities where electrical and thermal processes are intensively carried out, correct engineering optimizations to be implemented in grinding and pelleting lines, which hold the vast majority of total energy consumption, both unlock the door to sustainable production and radically reduce operating costs.
