ORGANIC
GRAIN DEMAND GROWING RAPIDLY
Acreage in the United States is not increasing
fast enough to keep up with consumption
by Arvin Donley

R

apidly growing demand for organic feed ingredients in the United States has created a tightening
supply of organic corn and soybeans, attendees at
the Organic & Non-GMO Forum learned on Oct. 30 at
the Hyatt Regency Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.
3HWHU *ROELW] SUHVLGHQW DQG FKLHI H[HFXWLYH RI¿cer of Agromeris, discussed the impact of imported
organic grain on U.S. prices and supply on the second day of the two-day conference, which examined
a broad range of topics related to organic and nonGMO industries.

Golbitz said the organic poultry industry in the
United States is the primary driver of organic feed demand. Organic poultry production more than doubled
from 2015 to 2016 and grew another 50% in 2017.

growth over 2017," Golbitz said, noting that the compound annual growth rate in organic poultry production
over the past four years is 46%.
Although end users of organic corn and soybeans in
the United States are still heavily dependent on foreign suppliers, that trend appears to be slowing someZKDWDVLPSRUWVLQDUHVKRZLQJUHGXFHGJURZWK

soybean imports may end up at 25% less than in 2017,"
he said. "With domestic production increasing and imports leveling off or in decline, we are likely to see reduced dependence on imports going forward. But that
depends on how fast demand grows and U.S. production can increase."
Golbitz noted that imports from Turkey, which was
the top supplier to the United States in 2017, have
dropped substantially this year due to a leading supSOLHUIURPWKDWFRXQWU\KDYLQJLWVRUJDQLFFHUWL¿FDWLRQ

"In May 2017, fraud was uncovered in the import
