VIEW PROFILE
The USA is the one of the biggest oils and fats producers as well as consumers in the world. Despite being the largest soybean producer, production is still insufficient to cater for domestic requirements and the USA needs to import oils and fats. Based on USDA’s Prospective Plantings report, farmers indicated that they would plant 84.6 million acres of soybeans in 2015/16 and if realized, this year’s acreage would exceed the 2014/15 record by nearly 1 million acres.

This paper will look at the USA’s oils and fats consumption in 2015 and the food consumption and market trends in the USA in 2015. We will analyse issues that will have impact on the changing pattern in oils and fats intake in the USA and how palm oil can play a role in complementing the USA’s oils and fats requirement in 2015.

Dear Mr. Raid, Thank you for your question. Canada is quite different from the US although they are bordering each other. Canada mainly produces rapeseed while the US are soybean producers. US oils and fats production in 2014 was 16.9 million MT while consumption was 19 million MT or 89% of the domestic requirement and thus they need to import the balance. Canada on the other hand produced in 2014 almost 4 million MT oils and fats and consumed 1.65 million MT. Canada also exported almost 2.7 million MT in 2014 making them a net exporter of oils and fats while the USA is a net importer.
