am delighted to announce
that here at the Mills
Archive, we have been
successful in gaining a grant
from the UKs Heritage Lottery
Fund (HLF) for an exciting
project that is about to get under
way. Extending until 2018, we
will use the 68,200 grant to
preserve records of the history of flour milling, from its
ancient origins up to the present day, and to tell this story
to you and to people around the world.
Participatory elements in the project, From Quern to
Computer, mean that individuals and milling firms will
have plenty of opportunities to get involved, not only in
learning about the story (even the most knowledgeable
mill enthusiast may be surprised at what they discover)
but also in actively shaping the story for future generations
and ensuring that key moments in history are recorded and
not forgotten.

and hand-operated quern stones right up until the present
day. The story will therefore capture traditional windmills
and watermills as well as large roller mill plants such as
those whom this magazine reaches. Related industries
such as the firms that furnish these plants with roller mill
machinery will also have an opportunity to feature in the
story.
Bennett and Elton, attempted to tell the complete story
in their seminal 4-volume History of Corn Milling written
at the end of the 19th century. However, since then there
has been nothing of the same scope and scale. Their books
also reach only a limited audience. Things have moved
on over the last century, not only in terms of flour milling
technology but also the methods by which we can tell the
story and make it available to the public.
Modern website technology will allow this project
to record and display a detailed interactive timeline
covering eight millennia and enable the public and those
with involvement or interest in the milling industry to
participate in its telling.

The growing population is often
perceived as a threat for the
future. The challenges are there,
indeed. Yet, looking at the glass
half empty is not necessarily the
best approach. The future needs
to be looked at with a different
perspective than the past and the
present. Many things have to
change and evolve. It is true, but it was true a century ago,
too.
We should celebrate much more loudly than we currently
do the fact that, although there are still close to one
billion people hungry, an unprecedented number of six
billion people can eat enough every day. We also must
keep in mind that we achieve this performance in spite of
substantial food waste and inefficiencies in both production
and supply chains in many regions. If we need to change
how we operate in these two areas, it is also crucial to be
alert to adapt to a changing consumer market.
The growing world population is not so much about how
many people there will be in 2050 as it is about what
they will eat. The diets of the future will determine the
sustainability of food supply. Proper nutrition education
is an absolute necessity to get on the path of a sustainable
agriculture. The exciting part of feeding the future lies
in the dynamics of future food markets. The population
is growing but not everywhere in the same way or at the
same pace. Next to the growing number of people, their
economic situation also evolves at different paces between
the regions.
As the number of people joining the world middle class
increases, they will look at food differently... and so must
food producers. There are useful lessons to learn from
the evolution of food markets in Western countries after
World War II. Todays emerging countries show a similar
pattern. Food is not anymore a matter of daily survival
for their populations. Food is not just for the stomach
anymore but the psychology of food consumption evolves,
too. That is exactly what Maslow described with his
pyramid of needs. Once the physical need is covered, in
this case food security, other needs appear. The social and
emotional functions of food start to prevail. As they go up
in the pyramid, consumers become more demanding and
challenging. It is quite normal. It is how human nature
works. It also has the amazing ability of disrupting the
desire of the industry for well-standardized and costefficient processes; hence the frustration and the difficulty
to get on the same wave length.

feeding of
live insects
as a source
of protein for
broilers
ForFarmers and
WUR start joint trial
ForFarmers has launched a trial
together with the Department
of Entomology at Wageningen
University in The Netherlands, to
explore the impacts of live insects as a
source of protein in the broilers diet.
Leon Marchal, Nutrition and
Innovation Director at ForFarmers
says, The most important research
question is whether the chicks are
growing healthily and at a sufficient
rate in comparison to a traditional
diet.
We also want to look at whether
the broilers natural behaviour will
improve as a result of the addition of
live insects. If this project proves to
be a success, it will be an important
step towards further sustainability
within the industry.
ForFarmers have commented that
early observations have clearly shown
more lively foraging behaviours
amongst the broiler chicks, and that
it is known that more active Broiler
chickens have less leg disorders.
The trial is being conducted at
ForFarmers experimental farm in
Nijkerk, The Netherlands, where a
total of 1000 chicks are being fed
in four different groups. A control
group will be given a traditional
diet, while the remaining three will
be given 5 percent, 10 percent or 15
percent respectively of black soldier
fly larvae. The high protein content of
these larvae replaces up to 75 percent
of a protein like soya.
The larvae from this species are
truly omnivorous and are relatively
easy to grow, according to Albert
Dijkslag, Poultry Innovation Manager
at ForFarmers.
This will also result in profit for the
farmer and increased sustainability.
These larvae are grown on residual
flows from the food industry. These

As an essential part of Famsuns extruder machinery, the singlescrew extruder (for aquafeed, raw materials) is widely used in
feed plants. The removal of screws has always been a problem
in the operation of extruder machinery. Every manufacturer may
have its own removal tool kit, yet few can offer satisfactory
solutions.
To develop new efficient removal tool kits, the following three
factors should be taken into consideration:
To begin with, during peak production season, the machines have
to stay operational as long as possible to cut the costs incurred by
downtime. For instance, without an efficient method, removing
the screw head can take anywhere between 30 minutes and one or
two days with nothing but temporary tools at hand. Considering
the time consumed, it is of significant necessity to make
improvements in the removal process to meet the production
agenda.
Second, to lengthen the service life of the screw head, it is
necessary to minimise the damage done to the screw head when it
is being taken off.
Third, a high degree of automation is
necessary. So far, some of Famsuns raw
material extruders have been automatised
and these machines are more operationfriendly than they used to be. But simpler,
faster removal tools are still needed to
improve the competitiveness of Famsuns
machinery.
Currently, the removal tool kits available
are for raw material extruders. For
TPH/PHY200, TPH260/PHY260 series
extruder, the removal tool kit in use does
not deliver satisfactory results. Because
of its structure, the tool can only remove
Spilt
the first section of the screw. Besides,
locking
current removal tools also require specific
sleeve
screw leads. It also takes a lot of effort
and time to manually turn the screw lever,
especially when some screws havent
Pull rod set
been removed for years. For single screw
extruders for aquafeed, however, the
aforementioned method does not work.
Compared with earlier versions, the
up-to-date removal tool kit can remove
single screws of all types (TPH200/260;
PHY200/260; SJPS135/165/215/265), not
just the first section of certain types of screws.
The time needed to remove one section is less than 20 minutes.
Its structure and operating principles are as follows:

Time spent in removing one section of screw: 20min
Maximum thrust: 30TX2
Ability to remove each section of the screw: yes
Number of operators: two

Position-limiting mechanism:
The position-limiting mechanism is used to prevent the
spindle from being damaged by friction caused by the
spindle in the block and the main spindle (the current
structure of the extruder only has a limit screw to bear
backward thrust; without a limit screw to counter forward
force, the spindle can only take a little forward-pulling
force)

the inner wall of the spindle
The backplate is composed of two quartered pieces fixed in

The separation of the hulls and the bran can be through one,
or more stages. If the dehulling took place in one stage where
both the hulls and the bran are mixed, the oil content will be
low (below 10 percent), an economical separation of the oil is
not possible. However, the use of two stage rice mills, in which
the bran and the hulls are recovered separately, allows for an
economical extraction of oil.
The hulls (about 20 percent of the rice paddy by weight)
have no significant nutritional value as they consist mainly of
cellulose, lignin and select minerals. On the other hand, rice bran
(approximately 5-10 percent of the rice paddy by weight) is rich
in protein (14-18 percent) and energy; mainly in the form of the
oil it contains (10-20 percent). The percentage of oil in the bran
depends on the milling process, the contamination of the bran
with hulls and broken kernels and whether the bran is obtained

millets, such as ragi (finger millet), cumbu (pearl millet) and
foods like cassava, were important parts of regular everyday diets
but were eventually replaced, over several decades, with food
products derived from wheat, rice and/or corn.
As incomes rise, diets undergo faster and greater transformation
and in the race to be affordable and available, obviously some
food crops get sidelined.
Economists are conveniently blaming the countrys impressive
economic growth and claim that people tend to move ahead
to consume more food items that are perceived rich and less
of those foods that are perceived inferior - but by no means
nutritionally!
However, what these statistics do not reveal is the resulting
impacts on human health, nutritional wellbeing and eventually
productivity of the generation that misses out on important
sources of nutrients from these diverse food crops.

discourage farmers to take up any other crops unless there are
absolutely no choices.
There is an entrenched belief that minimum support prices
(MSP), that are increased every year for these minor crops, will
motivate farmers to take up cultivation.
Unfortunately, that belief has been proven wrong at least in the
case of pulses since domestic production has been languishing
despite significant increases in MSP up to 87 percent over the
last four years for some crops like pigeon pea.
If anyone claims lack of demand from the consumers for pulses
as the cause for the negligible growth in production, the numbers
speak by themselves. Indias pulses imports have grown over
the last four years from nearly 15 percent in 2010-11 of the total
demand to reach 21 percent in 2012-13 before falling to nearly
17 percent in 2013-14.
However, what limits creating more demand is clear lack of
innovations in developing novel food products using pulses as
ingredients and dwindling research and development (R&D)
efforts and investments in this front.
Pulses, unfortunately, are perhaps the most under-utilised foods
considering their rich nutritional profile. In the developed world,
new market segments currently being explored with significant
interest are protein-rich products targeted at athletes and body
builders, and the partial replacement of cereals with pulse-based
ingredients in extruded food products (eg noodles, pasta, etc).
Other popular foods, including granola bars and breakfast foods,
have significant amount of pulses.
However, In India, research on these fronts has long been in
its nascent stages. Maize (corn) has undergone such a phase of
growth and exploration of unimaginable kinds of use options
and has become almost ubiquitous in several every day food
products. Similar efforts are needed to create demand for
pulses.
In a different perspective, questionable policies on fertiliser
pricing, particularly for nitrogen against other fertilisers, may
be a limiting factor for increasing pulses cultivation. Urea is
the cheapest of all fertilisers and an average farmer, without
understanding nutritional requirement and soil health will
obviously go for the cheapest fertiliser thinking it would result in
bountiful harvest.
However, all these not only worsen the already awkward
N-P-K ratio of the soil but impact the ecosystem, flora and fauna
particularly marine life due to loss of excessive nitrogen through
run off and leaching.
By taking a rational policy on this front will not only result in
encouraging pulses cultivation but also can help enhance soil
health, which is important from sustainability perspective.

one of the main components used in monogastric diets and cattle
concentrates.
Moreover, corn silage is frequently used in cattle nutrition,
and may represent up to 80 % of the daily ration. Corn byproducts such as corn oil, corn gluten or corn germ meal are also
frequently used in animal nutrition. Since fumonisins are stable
in high temperatures and resist fermentation, they can be found in
processed feedstuffs.
Fumonisins chemically resemble sphinganine and sphingosine,
responsible for the synthesis of sphingolipids, structural
compounds of cell membranes and are present in different tissues,
especially in the nervous system. These mycotoxins are able to
disrupt the metabolism of sphingolipids, causing alterations in
cell growth and differentiation, apoptosis and necrosis (Merrill et
al., 1996; Norred et al., 1998).
The toxins are eliminated mainly through feces, but a certain
amount can be eliminated through eggs and milk in laying hens
and dairy cattle respectively when high doses of fumonisins are
consumed.
Swine and horses are the most sensitive species to fumonisins,
especially to FB1; while poultry and ruminants are apparently

while food waste mainly occurs at the end of the food supply
chain; in the store, at restaurants as well as at home. Possible
causes of food waste are summarised in Table I.
Food losses and waste amounts to roughly US$ 680 billion
in industrialised countries and US$ 310 billion in developing
countries. Industrialised and developing countries dissipate
roughly the same quantities of food -respectively 670 and 630
million tons. Per capita waste by consumers is between 95-115
kg a year in Europe and North America, while consumers in subSaharan Africa, south and south-eastern Asia, each throw away
only 6-11 kg a year (Figure 2).
The total amount of food waste in the European Union is about
90 million tons per year or 180 kg per capita per year excluding
agricultural food waste and fish discards. The European
Commission is referring to this as an unacceptable example of
unsustainability estimating that by 2020 without any effective
measures 126 million tons food will probably be wasted per year.
Almost 50 percent of edible and healthy food gets wasted in EU
households and supermarkets each year.
Food waste is expected to rise to about 126 million tons by
2020 without additional prevention policy or activities.
According to Rabobank, the European Food & Agribusiness
(F&A) industry is currently losing 60 billion Euros of value each
year through food that is wasted in the supply chain and never
reaches the consumer.
In spite of above information on food wastage, figures on the
exact amount of food waste in the manufacturing sector remain
heavily debated due to lack of a clear definition of food waste,
lack of proper data collection and methodological issues, such as
diverse and not consequent interpretation of by-products.

partners who see the benefit in reducing waste and have the
potential to benefit from the additional effects on the supply

Bread staling continues to be responsible for huge food wastes

fully elucidated. Despite new measurement techniques, such
as NIRS, NMR, and X-ray, which give novel and interesting
details on bread firming and also evidence of their importance
as complementary tools to traditional measurement techniques,
the real challenge still remains the knowledge of the precise
mechanism(s) of staling. Further efforts must be exerted
to explore and exploit the power of novel technologies in
bread processing, particularly the nonthermal technologies
(high hydrostatic pressure, ultrasound processing, pulse-light
technology, and others), and their effects on the retardation of
bread staling.
Whereas the points on avoiding food waste during processing
are relevant to all food and drink manufacturers, possible
solutions to reduce bread waste is cited in Table II.
However, during efforts to reduce bread waste constraints could
arise from legislation (e.g. requirement to sell bread at specific
weights) and cultural and standardisation constraints (consumers
traditionally buy specific types/weights of bread). The product
is offered in too big portions or the consumer makes impulse
purchases (people may be attracted to buy more than they can
eat). There are financial constraints through a lack of investments
and innovation by industry.
Final thoughts
Bread is the healthy basis of every day meals all over Europe.
The importance of bread is shown through the huge daily global
consumption, which results in inevitable waste. There is the need
to minimise food waste at all points along the food chain.
Among many possible solutions; extended shelf life of bread by
natural ingredients and food safety measures, increase in bake-off
production, shift from artisanal to packaged bread and raising
awareness and information to the consumers will be utmost
importance in prevention of bread waste.
both days, there was a lot of exciting and important subject matter
to see, touch and understand.
At Top House Farm, Graham and Paul were joined by John
Peck, head of technical management and stewardship, North
Europe, BASF plc; Louis Wells, agronomy manager, BASF plc;
and Rose Riby, variety specialist (north) from KWS. The farm
owners were also there to assist with information and share their
own perspective. Regarding the farms, a minority of the land
F
is for the trial partnership. Graham said, for
great biodiversity on a site, only 2 percent of
the land is required. This proves that the simple
steps taken at both sites is possible without
impacting the amount of land required to add
this value. Records are made at the start and
then regularly through the farms lifespan
over many years. An important point that
Graham and his colleagues were keen to stress
was that the data is gathered and recorded by
independent third parties so the whole value
chain has reliable, unbiased and trustworthy
information.
Firstly, travelling over to the East Midlands
was a very pleasant affair from the Milling
and Grain offices. With a timetable set for
the London and South East Millers Society
(LSEMS) to stick to, plenty of time was
allocated for travelling. There was time for
a quick call to Graham Hartwell before the
LSEMS programme got under way, it gave a
taster of what was to come later in the day and
discussion of another site BASF plc ran and
whether the opportunity to visit there could
be possible. It would make this article an exclusive as no other
journalist had yet visited both trial sites to report.
Attendees numbered around 30 for the The Moor and 22
at Rawcliffe Bridge. There was a strong representation of
the milling community, even though numbers were small.
Representatives from a wide range of companies such as Bhler,
Allied Mills and nabim joined the tours.

How we feed the worlds ever growing population is the big question for the
milling industry. Milling and Grain magazine goes in search of answers, on a
behind the scenes tour of the Van Aarsen-built, Kalmar Lantmn project - the
most modern feedmill in the world - to find out how the technology in this
new mill sets a standard for the future.

The CHALLENGE
F
Feed mill of the future. Harm looked at the trends that are
supporting shift in feed production 10 years from now. He
said new feedmill constructions, in general, will take place
in emerging economies, with only expansion or redesign of
feedmills and not outright builds likely in regions like Europe and
North America.
More and more feedmills in Europe, said Klein, will only
supply concentrates to livestock producers and, thus, the
production and storage process at feedmills by 2025 will have
undergone a radical shake-up.
How right was Harm Klein? With the one exception it will not
be in 10 years time, it is already here today.

Kalmar Lantmn
The FEEDMILL
Building in concrete was the preferred option, but was also the
most expensive choice, and was out of reach in the first designs;
however, with a saving of 30 percent on the building size, the use
of concrete became a reality.
With concrete there are no hidden gaps like you get with a
steel construction. Everything can be hermetically sealed. With
concrete floors in place a very special coating was applied; this
involved a handmade, hand applied process, involving many
layers including a primer, ground down sand and different layers
painted on making a very solid and hygienically manicured floor.
It gets tremendously cold in Sweden with snow and ice,
therefore there should be outside heated floors.
Feedmill
of the future
here today-built for tomorrow!
for feed the mill has over 50 recipes alone for cattle and over 200
recipes for feed in total of which more than 150 are active at any
given time.
Most of the Swedish farmers like to have their own mix and
with this new mill and the systems inside they can produce
bespoke mixes for every farmer even if the batch is only five
tonnes.
Not only can they deliver tailored feeds for every farmer, it
is all carried out in an extremely hygienic environment where
hygiene has been foremost on the minds of the millers. With their
high hygiene concept in place it allows for higher flexibility with
no contamination problems.
As with many plants and in particular their old plant they would
have to clean a line first before switching to a different recipe.
Their automated systems are superb, as is often required today

PROCESS FLOW
As raw materials come into the raw material intake, and because
of the unique location of the Kalmar Lantmn feedmill, there are
several ways in which this takes place. They can be supplied by:
a) Ship
b) Trucks; with raw materials unloaded into one of two intake pits
where the trucks reverse in and dump their contents
c) Pneumatic unloading; minerals, such as lime stone and salt are
blown into the storage silos
d) Micro ingredients such as vitamins are supplied in big bags
e) Liquids arrive in tankers at the mills dedicated liquid terminal
When materials arrive they are checked for foreign objects
using a magnet system and cleaner.
The mill has the ability to grind raw materials in two ways; the
most common is using one of two hammer mills with automatic
screen exchange, which can deposit the ground materials into one
of the 52 raw material silos.
The raw materials can be ground to any desired size.
What makes this particular operation so special is the hammer
mills are operated with low harmonic frequency controllers with
a low harmonic, so when the system is slowed down, i.e. the
brakes are applied the waste perpetual electricity is siphoned
off and re-used back into the building utilising a two-stage
controller: Another example of energy saving. This coupled with
the automatic screen exchange, which allows for three different
screens, which means the hammer mill need not be stopped
a screen change can take seconds as opposed to the previous
process, which took a good 20 to 30 minutes.
In addition to this energy efficient set up of the hammer mills,
each hammer mill is hermetically sealed in its own soundinsulated control room reducing the noise to a maximum of
55db. Even though the building itself has been built with a sound
insulated concrete construction, additional measures have been
taken to reduce further the more noisy equipment.
Hammers are also prone to producing sparks, which when
coupled with dust can become a potential explosion risk. In the
Kalmar Lantmn mill all the bins after the hammer mills are
equipped with an explosion relief system.
For other feed products, such as specific chicken feed, the recipe
has the possibility not to be transported through the hammer mill
but is able to go through the roller mill instead.
Dosing
Liquid Intake
Located at the feed mill there are the following silos for storage:
72 small ingredients silos
96 finished feed silos
52 raw material silos
Each of the 52 silos holds 85 cubic meters; the silos have been
constructed round to maximise flow. This makes up the most
modern automated dosing system in operation.
All 52 silos sit on scales with a capacity of three cubic meters or
F
Mixing
2000kg for each scale. Between all the silos, this is one largescale system which all work together.
Therefore, if you had a recipe that included 10 or 12 different
raw materials all the silos would start dosing down to its scales
simultaneously. At the bottom of each silo is either a doublescrew or triple-screw depending on the need for accuracy. I
observed 10 stainless-steel triple screws which were designed for
more aggressive products, of course in these cases the silos are
also stainless steel.
In addition to all this control and automation, all the doubleand triple-screws are frequency controlled. This efficient system
allows for all ingredients of a recipe to be dosed simultaneously
allowing for 30 batches an hour of four tonnes each.
Each of the silos are 4mm stainless steel with the cones of the
silos being 5mm, at the bottom of each silo are three load cells,
which weigh exactly how much material is inside.
In fact if I stood, as I did on one of the 52 scales, it is
automatically picked up in the control room and an alarm is
raised.
And, whilst it has never happened, should the wrong dose ever
be measured -because they are using long bridge scales with eight
products in one scale - the operation can simply be stopped and
the unused (wrong dosed) ingredients can be sent back to their
original silo for re-use.
In older feedmills this would have simply been waste. Though
this is an added insurance policy and avoids any contamination,
one hopes it is never used.
With all these sensors and scales, the software supplied by Van
Aarsen (Cofely) allows for many multiples and variations of
adjustments and different parameters, with over 900 load cells the
system offers a complete automated approach to the whole mill,
allowing the whole operation to be dealt with by just one man
in the control room, which significantly cuts down man hours
required.
As the whole factory was built in concrete, planning was critical
as the whole flow of the mill in relation to the piping and its silos,
etc, had to be pre-cut out of the concrete before each level was
build, this included pre-drilling and cutting all the holes for the
possible sixth line that can be added in the future.
It was important to add in the possibility of a sixth line as to
increase an existing mill is not easy and whilst this new mill has
many innovations that put it significantly ahead in terms of design
and automation, the possibility of a sixth line and the ability to
move equipment and machinery between the floors with the 10
tonne lift make the mill to all intents and purposes, future proof,
when taken in context of the average life cycle of a feedmill.
Each mixer holds four tonnes / 8000 liters. As with the silos,
each mixer is on load cells, allowing the control room to
consistently monitor, in real time, the exact weight of ingredients
in each. The ingredients are mixed in fast homogeneous blending
paddle mixers. There is a mixer for each species line of feed
to avoid contamination; even spillages around the mixer are
protected from cross contamination as each is hermetically sealed
away from each other.
All the mixing is dry mixing. Ingredients such as molasses
is processed, preheated before adding in doses. A dry mix is
much more preferable as with liquid mixes, there is always a
clogging of the paddles, which would require some down time for
someone, once a week to enter the mixer and clean it out.
With dry mixing, you do not need to clean so often and you
keep your lines running more efficiently.
And the innovations do not stop here; all the waste heat
generated by the mixers is re-used and is filtered off to the
compressor system to heat up water for the boiler.
Processing at 13 tonnes per hour the re-used heat can pre-heat
the water to between 80 to 90 degrees, which in the winter the
temperature of the water can start at the intake as low as seven
degrees.
Feedmill
of the future
here today-built for tomorrow!
Cooling
The coolers suck in air from the outside via a HEPA filter,
similar to what you have in your car to clean the air of pollens,
etc.
The intake is a large corridor probably 20 meters long, with a
mesh to stop birds and animals coming in. Once in the corridor
there are three intake filters with a much finer mesh to filter out
smaller bugs and particles before going through the HEPA filter.
The coolers have been set up with a double deck configuration
for a quick product change over and two of the lines are equipped
with special meal coolers.
Also, as the winters can be very cold in Sweden, there is the
possibility to warm up the intake air so it is not too cold. The
same goes for any waste air pumped back into the atmosphere, it
is carefully filtered to make sure there is no dust contamination
and that any pollutants are below 3mg per cubic meter.
F
Loading and distribution
Once the process has finished, the final product goes into one
of the 96 finished product silos, trucks will enter the mill on the
north side where there are three separate loading lanes inside the
building.
In each loading station there is a double robot-weighing outlet,
which moves along the gantries, collects the desired feed and
positions itself automatically over the truck for loading.
It was clear to me that this project had succeeded by using the
very highest levels of automation available in todays market.
The overall project consisted of smart engineering by making
the building 30 percent smaller whilst maintaining all the five
lines with space for an additional line.
Then installing high quality machines allowing the production
of a low cost per tonne of feed. Outside of these key points, and
the many others I have mentioned above, it ultimately succeeds
because of its automation.

including blockages and the fitting of unsuitable or wrongly
sized filters, can cause faulty operation. Most powders form hard
compounds when mixed with water from the atmosphere, further
exacerbating the problems at the top of the silo.
Other industrial areas are further ahead in dealing with this issue.
For example, the Mineral Products Association (MPA) publishes
comprehensive guidelines for silo protection systems in UK
quarries and cement works. But worryingly there are little or no
such recommendations for powder silos used in a broader range of
industries, including food and beverage, grain, starch, sugar, and
animal feed. The primary principles are the same for protecting any
pneumatically-filled silo, yet the issue is being routinely overlooked.
Even with guidelines in place, the benchmark for the
effectiveness of any silo safety protection system can only relate to
the last time all the components were fully tested.

MARKETS OUTLOOK
Crop weather scares receding
by John Buckley
GRAIN and oilseed markets saw a surprise but, in the event, unsustainable run-up in prices
during the period since our last review. Mostly this hump in costs was due to crop weather
scares and funds making the most of these in hope of an easy profit. Many of these events were
probably over-played, trading off uncertainties rather than major crop damage so are now
receding in importance. That said, one or two key questions still need to be resolved, notably
the final size of maize and soya planted acreages in the USA, the worlds largest grain and
oilseed producing country. There is also an unusually wide range of US yield forecasts for
both crops. Markets also need to see the outcome of a European heat-wave, already trimming
millions of tonnes off the maize crop, some changeable conditions at the tail end of an already
weather-challenging season in Russia and Ukraine and, not least, the extent to which drought
has reduced Canadas wheat, durum and canola crops.
All of these factors have the potential to disturb prices further in coming weeks. However,
there are also some important-price restraining factors at work on both the supply and demand
side of the ledger. For the wheat market, these are led by better than expected crops (so
far) in Europe and the Black Sea region (Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan) and, perhaps even
more importantly, the USDAs decision to make a big downward revision in its Chinese
consumption forecasts (down 6m tonnes for 2014/15 and another 5m for 2015/16). The latter
changes along with one or two other reassessments, have resulted in the USDA adding a hefty
16.5m tonnes to its forecast for global wheat ending stocks for 2015/16 (ends next June 30).
Because these are inside China, these stocks are effectively off-market. They might also be
considered a slightly academic number, based on as many guesstimates as facts. Nonetheless,
they do put a slacker slant on the global wheat supply situation and, if these really are
anywhere near correct, they will have some influence on Chinas maize consumption and
import needs.
For maize and soyabeans, which we count with wheat as the three main market movers, there
are some some further bearish developments, led by larger than expected South American
crops. Looking at whats emerging from local/national sources, some of these Lat-Am numbers
are probably still being under-estimated by the USDA - and other official analysts both for
the 2014/125 season nearing completion (August 31) and for the new 2015/16 marketing year .
Assuming the weather doesnt suddenly turn nasty for the second half of the Northern
Hemisphere wheat harvest or the remainder of our maize/soya growing season, the outlook
remains much as we summed it up in our last issue: another year of large production, backed
by comfortable (mostly larger than average) carry-in stocks from last year. That ample supply,
moreover is set against no more than moderate growth of global demand.
Without a fresh weather scare ( and it would have to be a big one coming sooner than later for
now rapidly maturing crops) there is nothing much here to excite the speculator into another
round of betting on grain price rises. Indeed, one or two of the banks that like to forecast
agricultural market price trends are estimating grain values will fall below the levels indicated
by the forward futures price curve. At this stage, its hard to disagree with that.
Wheat stocks to stay high
Apart from the larger Chinese wheat stocks mentioned above (estimated to cover about 40% of
world supplies), inventories are looking pretty comfortable in some of the market-influencing
centres too. The EU is reckoned to carry in about 14/15m tonnes this year and, assuming
a crop somewhere around the 146/148m tonne level, it will leave 2015/16 with a similarly
large ending stock. This assumes the EU consumes something close to last years volume of
wheat, say around 124m tonnes, and again exports about 31m (which would be its third largest
achievement, comfortable keeping Europe in the role of worlds leading exporter).
US wheat output, despite a number of weather problems, is expected to rise by about 3.3m
tones to 58.5m. Allowing for say 2/2.5m more domestic consumption, it can still export (if it
can find enough markets for its relatively expensive grain) about 3.5m tonnes more than last
season and, even then, end up with a larger stockpile than last
year of almost 23m tonnes (20.5m). The only real caveat is a
potential quality one after the soft red winter harvest got hit
by untimely rains but at this stage that seems to be having
little impact on US or overseas prices, mainly because there is
so much cheaper soft wheat available on the world market at
harvest time. In fact, US soft red wheat for export is near its
seasonal (and five-year) lows at around $206/tonne fob as we
go to press. Even the US hard, higher protein milling wheats are
relatively cheap by past comparison (see chart) but often, still
not cheap enough to compete on the world market. The main
driving factor her is a stellar yield forecast for the US spring
wheat crop maybe even a record high which is good news
for millers seeking to use these to beef up the quality of their
grists.
Looking at the other major wheat suppliers, the Canadian picture
has been less encouraging after a drought hit the western half of
the Prairie wheat belt. The countrys Wheat Board has just come
out with a forecast of around 25m tonnes compared with 27.5m
from a recent USDA report, last years 29.3m and the previous
seasons record 37.5m tonnes. It will reduce Canadas export
role by about 5m or 6m tonnes (from 24.2m last season) maybe
a little more or less depending whether or not recent improved
rainfall gives the crop a late boost. Canadas problems might
be to the advantage of US exporters later in the season or the
gap might simply be filled by other suppliers - from the former
www.andritz.com
August 2015 | 77
at 77m tonnes and, for the second year running it has huge
carry-over stocks to supplement its exports. The worlds
second-largest corn supplier is already harvesting and shipping,
undercutting US prices - as is its neighbour Argentina and the
two main CIS exporters, Ukraine and Russia.
On the global demand side, the biggest factor outside the US is
China, expected to consume 4m tonnes more maize next season
than this. But Chinas own crop is estimated to have jumped
by over 13m tonnes and its surplus stockpile is seen ballooning
from an already huge 80m to as much as 92m tonnes, almost
half the worlds total corn stocks so no big imports needed
there.
World corn demand is expected to grow by a moderate 8.5m
tonnes in total. Apart from China and the EU (+2m), a few other
countries including Brazil, Argentina, Egypt and Canada will
consume more next season than this. However, most of these are
self-sufficient/in surplus, so the consequent impact on import
demand will be modest. Overall there should not be much need
for maize stock drawdown perhaps 4m or 5m tonnes, leaving
the total well above the low levels that fuelled big price rises on
the global maize/feedgrain markets three or four years ago.
So, assuming the US crop comes through within the ballpark
of recent estimates and no other weather disruptions occur, the
world should be adequately supplied with corn to meet its needs
at todays or perhaps cheaper prices. Despite that, the CBOT
futures market still has corn costs pointing North to the tune
of about 8.5% into mid-2016. However, a number of private
analysts think that over-rates the impact of slightly lower global
stocks. EU corn futures meanwhile suggest a more modest 2-4%
price increase going into latter 2016, despite the domestic crop
upset. That also seems to suggest confidence in adequate foreign
supplies to fill the gap.
Soya surplus continues into 2016
Like the grains, soya products jumped in price during June as
the Chicago market reacted to concerns about rain delaying and
downsizing US plantings. For European importers of beans and
meal, the price strength was enhanced by the weakness of the
Euro as the Greek monetary crisis flared.
However, since mid-July, the US market has been in steep
retreat with improving US weather and persistent market
ideas that soya acreage there might have been under-rated.
Crop condition ratings are below last years when yields and
production reached record levels but there is still plenty of time
for improvement. So while the next US soya crop will likely
be down from last years 108m tonnes it will probably not fall
much and should still be the second largest ever.
Demand for US soya will rise somewhat from domestic crushers
while exports will probably slip under intense competition
from the Latin American suppliers. At this stage, the outcome
is expected to be substantial growth in US surplus stocks, from
under 7m to about 11.5m tonnes.
However, even that is eclipsed by what is happening down
South. Brazil and Argentina have not only already produced
record crops for 2014/15 (recently harvested). Both are also
carrying in record stocks of over 34m and 21.5m tonnes
respectively. Moreover, both are now expected to plant large
crops again this autumn for harvest in 2016. On present
pointers, the USDA expects total 2015/16 soyabean supply to
approach 400m tonnes compared with the past seasons 381m

r Mohamed Taleb has joined Delacon as Sales Manager Middle East. Located in Cairo,
Egypt, he will be responsible for sales in Egypt and the Gulf region and reports directly to
Bernard Paumelle (Area Sales Manager Italy, Middle East, Africa).
Dr Mohamed Taleb has sound experience in health and nutrition management in poultry
and large animals. Furthermore, his knowledge about the Middle Eastern area will help Delacon
to establish phytogenics as the reliable alternative to antibiotic growth promoters, says Bernard
Paumelle, Delacons Area Sales Manager Italy, Middle East, Africa.
Mohamed Taleb
The Middle Eastern poultry and large animals market is growing steadily and shows huge potential. Antibiotic growth
promoters have been banned in some Middle Eastern countries and are imminent to be banned in the rest of the Middle
Eastern countries. Most customers are aware of this situation and demand phytogenic feed additives, explains Dr Taleb.
Before joining Delacon, Dr Taleb served as Marketing Manager for Gozl Trading in Saudi Arabia. Prior to that, he worked as
a Product Manager at Delacons Egyptian distributor IFT, at whom he was responsible for the product launch of Biostrong on
the Egyptian market. Dr Taleb holds a doctors degree in Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from Cairo University.
oerg Seifert has been appointed as the new EU Association of Specialty Feed Ingredients and
their mixtures (FEFANA) Secretary General
Mr Seifert is of German nationality and holds university degrees in food technology and
in business administration. He has gained major professional experience through working at
technical director level with the trade association representing the global dairy sector and partnering
with many other livestock sectors since 1998.
Joerg Seifert
He succeeds Didier Jans who has left the association earlier in April after fifteen years. Dorothea
Schiemann who has been serving the association as ad interim Secretary General in the meantime
will ensure a smooth handover.
In the words of FEFANA President, Marco Bruni: Joerg is fully motivated to lead the association through forthcoming
changes to build a stronger FEFANA effectively addressing our industrys challenges of today and of the future.
Joerg Seifert strongly believes that the European Specialty Feed Ingredients industry has a vital role to play in the feed and
food chain for achieving sustainable food security and that FEFANA is the only organisation that can defend an appropriate
policy and regulatory framework in the EU to secure product innovation and growth of the industry.
