The U S Soybean Market In The Republic Of China Taiwan Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The U. S. Soybean Market in the Republic of China (Taiwan) The Taiwan oilseed crushing industry has undergone a complete technological turnover since the end of World War II and particularly since 1955. The country now boasts 36 solvent-extraction plants, many of them with modern continuous systems. Although most of them are relatively small, the solvent mills are now capable of handling over tons of soybeans and other oilseeds annually. Technical changes are still going on at a fairly rapid rate as many mills are currently installing larger continuous solvent units. Total solvent capacity of over tons of soybeans is expected to be reached and used in the next 5 to 10 years. Taiwan crushers also plan to increase their refining and processing capacity for vegetable oils, and several are at the present time building hardening facilities for the production of margarine and shortening. Much of the equipment is being manufactured locally, and other equipment is being purchased abroad, particularly from J apan and the United States. Also, many feed-mixing plants that utilize oilseed proteins from the crushing mills have been built in recent years, and future expansion is expected to bring a consolidation into larger, efficient, and more productive units. Many of these feed plants have been built by the oilseed crushing mill operators. Per capita income is expected to double during the coming decade, creating a vast new market for meat and protein products. Correlated with this new demand will be a rising market for fats and oils, high-protein oilseed meals, and soybean foods; this points directly to larger soybean imports.
