  1. International Danube Soy Symposium 2012Europe needs a Protein Strategy F.Fischler Vienna, 5th September 2012

  2. Why do we need an European Strategy? • Europe has specific consumer patterns • Europe is heavily import-dependend and the world protein markets are increasingly volatile • Europe needs production diversification • Protein production creates smart and green jobs

  3. The Demand of Plant Oil andProtein continues to grow rapidly • Fast growing plant-fat demand in the developing countries • Rapidly increasing animal protein-demand in emerging countries • Slightly growing plant fat and protein-demand in industrialised countries

  4. Global Production Development of Oil Seeds Mio to 1982/ 1992/ 2004/ 2009/ 1984 1994 2005 2010 Soy beans 90 124 216 250 Cotton seeds 29 32 45 40 Rape seed 15 28 46 59 Sunflowers 17 22 25 31 Peanuts 13 25 34 31 source: LK – O.Ö. Soybean production is key

  5. Worldproduction of Soybeans

  6. Exports of Soy Products(in Mio. t)

  7. The Biggest Importers of Soybeans and Soymeal(in Mio. t)

  8. EU – Domestic production and Self sufficency In 1000 to protein domestic self 2010/11 content production sufficency Soybean meal 46% 385 2.6% Rapeseed meal 33% 3853 93.6% Sunflower meal 29% 1117 72.0% Protein crops 23% 658 103.2% Dried fodder 16% 650 100.0% Others 1827 ca.80.0% Total - 8490 34.4% Source: EU Commission DG Agri

  9. Some comparative advantages of Soybeans • Highest Protein content (46%) • Best balance of essential Amino Acids (Lysin) • Best digestability • Valuable element in crop rotation Nitrogen collection

  10. Incentives to increase Soybean-production • Public investment in the soybean breeding • Research on optimization of soybean production management • A processing concept • Contract production • Measures against price volatility • Incentive to more crop rotation (maize monoculture) • Better standards • GM-free soybean plantation accepted as Ecological Focus Areas • Actions against deforestation of rain forests

  11. Comparative Advantages of Soybean Production in the Danube Regions • Partly good clamatic condition • Reduction of cereal export dependence of land locked cxountries • Experience in crop management from the past • Regional usage in the pig and poultry production sector

  12. Enforcement of Soybean Production in the Danube Region • Breeding of regional protein or fat rich varieties • Transnational masterplan for processing, contracting and logistics • A Danube Soybean Products Brand

  13. Limits to the EuropeanSoybean Strategy • Blair House Agreement and WTO restrictions • Climatic conditions • Relativly low profitability

  14. Other Protein Potentials in Europe • Corn and wheat gluten • Protein plants and dried fodder • Protein from waste and residues • Protein from hydroculture • Synthetic proteins

  15. Elements of an overall European Protein Strategy

  16. R & D is Key • Cropbreeding • Cropmanagement • Processing • Riskassesment (soil, groundwater,environment, biodiversity…) Protein strategy – a prioritywithinthe 8th Framework Programme

  17. Standardisation • Quality standards • Better definitions of „GM free“ • Labelling • Sustainability effects • Origin

  18. Good Economic Environment • Measures against price volatility • Strengthening of the production chain • Investment incentives

  19. Thank you for your attention!
