After a break of over two years, Pakistan has resumed importing U.S. soybeans through Fauji Akbar Portia Marine Terminals Ltd. In the coming months, around 265,000 tonnes of soybeans are expected to arrive, offering vital support to the country’s poultry industry by ensuring a steady supply of premium feed.
Zain Mahmood, Chairman of the All-Pakistan Solvent Extractors Association, underscored the importance of this development, noting that the return of U.S. soybean imports will improve feed conversion ratios, ultimately boosting profitability for poultry farmers.
Furthermore, Mahmood pointed out that local production of soybean meal and oil will help reduce dependence on imported substitutes, promoting domestic value addition and strengthening Pakistan’s agricultural supply chain.
Industry experts agree that the resumption of soybean imports is expected to stabilize feed prices and foster long-term growth in the poultry sector, creating a more sustainable production cycle.
