Sustainability,
poultry
modernization,
feed
costs
optimization
and

nutrition
took
center
stage

U.S.
Soybean
Export
Council
(USSEC)’s
signature
Chickenomics
event
in
Kathmandu,
Nepal.

South
Asia’s
poultry
industry
continues
to
show
a
preference
for
U.S.
Soy,
using
it
as
a
key
feed
ingredient.
With
its
high
energy
and
protein
levels,
U.S.
Soy
consistently
provides
superior
quality
while
lowering
feed
costs
and
improving
profitability.
This
event
comes
at
the
opportune
time
as
U.S.
Soy’s
prices
are
competitive
in
the
global
marketplace.




U.S.
Soy
has
achieved
some
significant
milestones
in
the
region
in
recent
months. Pakistan
reopened
trade
after
a
two-year
pause
easing
market
access.
In
Nepal,
key
poultry
producer
Valley
Group
has
signed
on
to
use
the
Fed
with
Sustainable
U.S.
Soy

label
on
its
packaging,
underscoring
the
value
it
places
on
sustainability.
According
to
data
from
USDA,
U.S.
soybean
imports
to
Bangladesh
are
up
by
36.2%
compared
to
last
year.
India
also
has
111,500
MMT
of
outstanding
sales
for
U.S.
soybean
oil
reflecting
U.S.
Soy’s
growing
presence
in
the
region.




Commenting
on
this
surge
in
U.S.
Soy
imports,

Kevin
Roepke,
USSEC’s
Regional
Director
for
South
Asia
and
Sub-Saharan
Africa
(SAASSA)

added,
2025
has
started
strong
for
U.S.
Soy.
We
are
grateful
for
our
customers
across
the
region
who
recognize
the
potential
that
U.S.
Soy
holds
in
advancing
the
region’s
food
and
nutrition
security.
We
are
confident
that
this
will
be
a
turning
point
in
strengthening
our
partnerships
with
the
industry.




While
speaking
at
the
event,
U.S.
Soybean
farmers
Dennis
Fujan,
Director,
American
Soybean
Association
(ASA)
and
Kyle
Durham,
Director,
United
Soybean
Board
(USB)
highlighted
their
sustainable
farming
practices.
Sustainability
remains
a
key
differentiator
for
U.S.
Soy,
which
has
the
lowest
carbon
footprint
compared
to
soy
from
other
origins. 




Reflecting
on
his
time
in
Nepal,

Durham

also
added,
While
I’ve
had
the
privilege
of
hosting
delegations
from
South
Asia’s
poultry
industry
at
my
U.S.
Soybean
farm
in
Missouri,
it
is
incredible
to
be
here
in
the
region
and
meet
our
customers
firsthand.
I’m
inspired
by
the
insights
and
the
things
I’ve
learned
from
the
people
I’ve
met
here
.” 




USSEC
continues
to
partner
with
South
Asia’s
poultry
industry
to
unlock
its
profit
potential.
