Korea, having had the highest sales for a consecutive 25 years and holding about
80 percent of the market share. It also has about 180 stores in China, the USA,
Vietnam, Singapore and France.
Satake received orders for a 480 t/d hard wheat flour milling plant (A mill) in
2009 and for a 360 t/d soft wheat flour milling plant (B mill) in 2011. These mills
operate at full capacity.
To expand production capacity, construction of a 160 t/d hard wheat flour
milling plant (C mill) was planned in 2014. Satake received an order for the C
mill in December 2014 as a result of the success of the previous two and also due
to Satakes flour milling technology being highly rated.
The plant will be completed in December 2015. C mill is to be used for both rye
and durum wheat. These materials are used to make rye bread and pasta.

Mr Peter Mack
Milling News
Newington Mill internal arrangement
The mill is about 100 years old. The sweeps, which are in
fairly good condition, were last used twenty seven years ago
(1904). I think considerable repair would have to be done
for them to be used again. The shutters, of course, have been
dismantled. We used up to quite recently two pairs of stones,
one set of Derbyshire Peak and the other French Burr. We
now only use one pair (for grinding barley and farmers
corn). The other pair have been removed for an oat crushing,
maize kibbler and grinder combined. We make our own gas
(from anthracite coal) to drive the gas engine, which drives
a small flour plant, the stones and crusher all together. We
also have a bakery adjoining the mill in which we bake
bread. So you see we make our own gas, make our own flour
and produce bread from same. Our trade is a mixed one, of
course, as is the case with similar businesses, consisting of
corn, fodder, flour, bread, which is retailed at our two shops.
Mr Mack added that he had heard that the mill originally
stood on the old SE & CR Station site in the town and
was moved by the railway company to make room for the
line. This is a misunderstanding I think, for the Canterbury
millwrights tell me that the mill was erected on its present
site by John Holman. Prior to Mr Macks ownership, the
mill was in the Mascall family, for whom it was probably
built. Mr Macks assertion that considerable repair would
be needed to the mill is underlined by the sketch made
only six year later by windmill artist Karl Wood, whose
portfolio of 1500 windmill drawings is now cared for by
the Mills Archive.

Not only the world population
is growing but, as economic
prosperity increases in more and
more countries, so does the share
of animal protein in the overall
food consumption.
For a large part, feeding the
iconic number of nine billion
people by 2050 will be about
feeding the farm animals required to meet future demand
for animal products.
When supply and demand shows a strong imbalance
between two adjacent links of the value chain, business
always feels quite unfair for at least one of them.
Money actually enters a value chain only from the
consumer end, and that money needs to be distributed
among all the links. When agricultural markets are
turbulent, being caught between the rock and the hard
place is not the most comfortable.
The animal feed industry knows the feeling well. In most
cases, the pain is more of a result of a lack of preparedness
to adapt timely than because of just price variations.
Success in feeding a growing population will depend
mostly on the ability to foresee and to anticipate future
demand, both from a quantitative and qualitative point
of view. It is a collective exercise that requires the
participation of all the stakeholders. What seems a rock
and a hard place is also a bridge between vegetal and
animal productions. It puts the feed industry in an ideal
position to play a leading role in shaping efficient value
chains.
In terms of degrees of separation, the feed industry is the
one closest with the highest numbers of links. Towards the
consumer end of the chain, it has relatively easy access to
knowledge on market trends.
From the crop production end of the chain, the industry
follows agricultural commodities markets closely. By
bringing together knowledge from both the consumer end
and the crop production side -and thus helping the other
links to produce and supply the corresponding volumes
and quality that markets want- a lot of optimization all
through the chain is possible.
Lets face it, leading and organizing such an ongoing
optimisation and planning is no small task.
The information and the knowledge are available in many
formats and in many places, though. The rise of innovation
and of new technologies that allow the collection,
monitoring and processing of quantity of data never
seen before will be of great help to make markets more
transparent.
Optimising through long-term planning has many benefits.
One is to help coordinate forecasts and plans for both
vegetal and animal productions.

Business abroad
by Chris Jackson, Export Manager UK TAG
Milling, and especially feed for livestock, plays a critical role in sustaining a safe and secure feed supply
using the diminishing land space to feed an increasing
population.
And the UK industry, where I work, has a lot to offer
the world - a fact often overlooked by nations seeking
to improve their agricultural outputs.
My organisation, UK TAG, was founded to help all
agritec companies get their message into the world
marketplace, sharing our expertise with a wider audience. We have extensive
knowledge of the needs of the agricultural world and help companies promote
themselves in the markets best suited to them.
Having just returned from a scoping visit to Assam in North East India, where
demand is high, we are now working on a strategy to help companies develop
this market. This was followed in March with the support of UKTI, the British
Embassy in Thailand, BPEX and EBLEX by arranging a British Pavilion at VIV
Asia, where more than 40 UK companies exhibited.
To enhance the UK companies and to re-launch British beef and lamb into the
Thai market we arranged two networking events a dinner at Plaza Athene Hotel
and a networking reception at the Pavilion. We were honoured by the presence of
the Thai Vice Minister, Dr Apichart Pongsrihadulchai, along with senior Government officials and Thai company chairman. From the UK side we were led
by our Ambassador Mark Kent accompanied by his commercial team headed by
Director of Trade Marcus Whinsley. From the UKTI London Rob Lalley, Head of
International Trade, Luis Mullet UKTI Agritec specialist, along with UKTI Trade
Directors and Managers from the region and from our industries John Cross
Chairman of EBLEX and Guy Kiddy Chairman of BPA
This bi-annual event is one of the most influential in the region and arguably in
the world.
Because of its preeminent role and location we are able to enlist the help of the
British Embassies and High Commissions in the region who identify visitors
from their counties interested in the UK companies products and services on
show.
This years event attracted over 700 exhibiters and more than 38,000 visitors. I
am pleased to support VIV Asia event as it is not open to the public and the vast
majority of visitors are professional decision-makers coming from every Asian
country - China, India, Africa and Russia as such it and is one of the few exhibitions that reaches out to the world.
In addition, the organisers run high-class technical seminars at which we had UK
experts speaking.
This year we had companies represented in all of the halls ranging from Aquaculture, Animal Health, Animal Feed, Housing Equipment and Genetics pigs, dairy
and goats. All of the companies were busy throughout the three days and reported
good meetings, which they hope to turn into successful business as they follow
up.
We had a successful British Pavilion at VIV Asia, which was very busy throughout the show, and hosted a reception at the Pavilion which was well attended by
invited guests, all of which was made possible by financial help from BPEX and
the British Embassy.
We are looking forward to taking more companies to our next events China

says. Local family companies that are well developed mostly own
milling companies in the milling sector.
These people have the will to develop, they have the market and
they are entrepreneurs, but they do not have the skills. Running an
operation efficiently is always an issue. Africa has good people,
it has educated people, its just that the skill for the miller is
missing, he told Milling and Grain when we visited Bhlers head
office in Switzerland at the end of the summer.
So this is where we said that if we, as Bhler, can contribute to
the development of the milling industry in Africa, to the wealth of
Africa and Africans and to educate and give them the skills to run
milling plants, we aim to train 24 next year and 48 the following
year so that they then pass on their knowledge in a sustainable way.

flow operation industry. Many large global mills operate 360 days a year.
Recent years have seen a huge expansion in the global flour market, both in terms
of production capacity as well as increased global demand. Flour, a fine or coarse
powder made by grinding grains, seeds, roots and a variety of cereals, is paramount
to the global food industry. The use of flour as a base product in a variety of foodstuff
makes the issue of quality and safety of raw materials a vital factor for the global
food industry.
Thus, the global flour and flour milling market mostly utilises raw materials
supplied by reliable sources that can guarantee excellent standards of food safety
and crop protection, coupled with independent inspections at the processing end.
Global import and export of food grains and a variety of flours is crucial to the
operation of the global food industry. The flour market serves the food industry at all
verticals: a bulk of it goes to larger food manufacturers and bakers, some amount is
sold to in-store bakeries and craft bakeries, and some portion of the total global flour
production is retailed directly to the consumers.
Rising urbanisation across the globe, increased health concerns related to highprotein flours, rising per-capita income of the global population, and changing
customer taste are some of the key trends shaping the current state of the global flour
market. The increased consumption of bakery and dough-based products to suffice
the mounting global population is also a chief trend driving the global flour market.
While changing customer preference has led to a global rise in demand for
previously regionally popular flours such as soya, corn, and rice flour, mounting
concern about allergies and health issues associated with the use of high-protein
flours has created significant opportunities for the market in the form of gluten-free,
low-protein alternatives of popular flours. Deregulation of flourmills by government
bodies across the world has also led to a flourishing market for privatised flourmills
in Asia Pacific.

Importantly, selenomethionine (the major dietary organic
form of Se) that is biochemically equivalent to methionine,
is not incorporated into selenoproteins and therefore, is not a
participant in the regulation of selenium homeostasis. There are
no known human or animal functionally active SePs that contain
selenomethionine.
Only proteins that are genetically programmed and perform
essential biological functions are classified as SePs. Some of
these SePs are enzymes such as the six antioxidant glutathione
peroxidases and the three thioredoxin reductases; the three
deiodinases are involved in thyroid function by catalysing the
activation and deactivation of the thyroid hormones.
Some SePs have direct roles in modulating immunity and
reproductive function, while other SePs facilitate tissue
distribution and transfer of Se.
Selenoprotein P, for example, functions as a transporter of
selenium between the liver and other organs. The functional
characterisation of many SePs remains to be delineated.

DON reduction in wheat flour using optical sorters
A typical fungus causing Fusarium head blight on plants of the
wheat family is Fusarium graminearum and the main toxin this
organism produces is Deoxynivalenol (DON). Fusarium fungus
also produces Nivalenol (NIV), believed to be of stronger acute
toxicity than DON.
It is necessary to reduce DON and NIV to prevent health
damage by removing Fusarium-damaged wheat kernels as well as
by applying proper agrichemicals or treatments.
In 2009, Satake conducted trials to remove Fusarium-damaged
wheat kernels and performed quantitative analyses for DON
and NIV reduction using a full colour belt sorter (Model Name
: CS300) which employed visible light, and an optical sorter
(Model Name: RMGS) which used a near-infrared light range
greater than 1400nm, both of which are made by Satake.
According to the resultant report, it was possible to reduce
DON contamination from 2.29 ppm to 1.1 ppm (the Japanese
provisional standard) and lower by removing Fusariumdamaged wheat kernels from the material wheat kernels using
the aforementioned optical sorters. This method was also able to
reduce NIV levels by 50 to 60 percent from 1.20 ppm.

difficulties. The last shipment to Svalbard Vault in Norway was
carried out from Syria in February 2014. This was extremely
difficult. For security reasons, main roads were too dangerous to
use. The routes taken to transport the seeds by road from Aleppo
were either to Lattakia to be shipped by sea or to Damascus, then
to Lebanon.
During the centre operations, unfortunate security
circumstances prevailed. The manager of the research station at
Tel Hadya and a leader of the group in Aleppo were kidnapped
twice but both were safely returned. A Syrian doctor of
veterinary medicine was kidnapped when moving sheep and
goats to Damascus. He was released from the first kidnappers but
currently remains unaccounted for.
All expatriates were moved out of Syria and relocated in July
2012. The centre still has 50 Syrian nationals who remain at work
in Syria, mostly in the Aleppo and Tel Hadya research stations.
Those working in the Tel Hadya main station were employed
from small villages. The employees that remain are kept under
close supervision with minimum mobility. Staff safety is a top
priority. ICARDA keeps in constant contact with them via mobile
phone.
Dr Solh explained that so far, the main buildings are still intact
but seriously affected. Equipment was moved from Tel Hadya
to be stored safely in expatriate vacated apartments in Aleppo
in June and July. Looting has occurred particularly in the small
ruminant research unit but all valuable equipment has been
moved out from Tel Hadya to Aleppo.

MARKETS OUTLOOK
Grain prices bounce as surplus starts to shrink
by John Buckley
Grain prices have steadied in recent weeks after their long drop amid further signs that 2015/16
supplies will be less loose than this seasons - if not exactly tight by historical comparison.
Several factors support this view. In the wheat market, analysts are looking for a decline in
this years Russian, Ukrainian and European crops, possibly the USAs too (less sown, more
winterkill, droughts etc). As we go to press the trade is also getting excited about a possible
major flood loss for Indias crop (the worlds second largest wheat producer and consumer).
How much may wheat production decline? The UN Food & Agriculture Organisation recently
suggested the next crop could still get to 720m tonnes just 7m short of last years record.
That might seem a bit optimistic given all the above factors (more detail on those below). The
International Grains Council meanwhile offered a preliminary assessment of 709m (it remains
more conservative on last years too at 719m) while the Canadian Wheat has just come out with
the lowest estimate of just 703.4m (versus last years 724.8m).
But does the world actually need another 720m tonnes-plus harvest? Probably not. Last years
consumption, after all, was estimated at less than 715m, resulting in a 10m tonne stock buildup
that will help cushion the impact of a smaller 2015 crop.
Until recently, that 2014/15 surplus had been weighing heavily on prices which hit five year
lows last autumn and recently seemed to be heading back in that direction again. Can we expect
another season of consumption growth pacing last years 10m tonnes (mainly in animal feeds)?
The IGC projects a mere 3m tonnes increase in next seasons total wheat consumption at 711m
which would reduce ending stocks by just 2m tonnes (from this years 198m. Its possible if
maize competition in feeds recedes a little (again, see below) and wheat prices are competitive
enough. If not, then wheat markets may be more or less in balance or need only a modest stock
drawdown. None of this is the stuff that bull markets are made of.
While the direction winter wheat output is taking is becoming a bit easier to pin down now,
most of the key spring wheat crops had yet to be sown as we went to press. Agriculture Canada
recently estimated a similar area to last years for its own spring wheat crop (the bulk of its
annual wheat harvest) while the countrys Wheat Board sees the total crop down from 29.3m to
28.7m tonnes. The EU is also expected to so somewhat less than last year. Russia and Ukraine,
whose winter wheat crops appeared to be floundering from the word go, would normally be
expected to make up expected any losses to these with more spring sown crops. But, as detailed
in our earlier reviews, both are under considerable financing restraints from their weak currencies
(expensive input) and credit difficulties (including soaring interest rates).
So how low might this years Russian wheat crop
go? The government has recently reiterated its view
that the total grain crop can make 100m tonnes
(versus last years 105.3m), maybe a couple of million
more as some winter crops came through in better
shape than expected earlier. That, western observers
say, would imply wheat around 55m tonnes. However,
not everyone agrees, give that the countrys ag
ministry recently estimated winter losses of almost
17% of the crop while acknowledging that 9% of
what did come through was in poor shape. Consultant
Sovecon suggests the grain total (including spring
planted crops) could be in a range of 85m to 92m
tonnes, with wheat contributing somewhere between
47m and 53m. Even lower forecasts have been aired
(75-78m grain total) although these are worst case
scenarios that are probably too pessimistic now.
Meanwhile, due to their recent export controls, both
Russia and Ukraine will have larger wheat stocks
to carry into the new season (about 6m more tha last year in
total). Both can therefore be expected to maintain a fairly active
presence on the world markets but probably nowhere near the
record levels of recent years. The CWB suggests both Russian
and Ukrainian wheat exports will drop by about 12% to 17.4m
and 9.7m tonnes respectively. It also sees Canadian wheat exports
falling by 11% to under 21m tonnes but expects the EU and US
to take up much of the slack with higher exports of Europes
rising t a new record 32.35m and the USAs from 24.5m to 27.6m
tonnes. (These are all interestingly precise forecasts for this early
stage in the year and, as in most years past, will doubtless be open
to a fair amount of revision as the season unfolds)
Europes wheat crop is expected to decline in terms of both area
and yield. Some early estimates had the total, including durum,
3m to 5m tonnes below last years giant 155m tonne harvest.
More recently, grain trader lobby COCERAL came out with a
10m tonne drop for soft milling wheat at 138.6m tonnes. The
EUs own crop forecasting unit MARS sees soft wheat yields
dropping by 4.8% to an average 5.29 tonnes per hectare. Dryness
has become a bit of a concern in Germany, the Czech republic and
Poland. German yields alone are seen dropping by 11.7% while
Hungary and Rumania are also expected to yield significantly less
than last year .
That supplies in the EU will still be more than comfortable is
underlined by the fact that (a) the EU will also carry in over 5m
tonnes more stocks this season than last and (b) various observers
including the EU Commission think these will actually rise again

the US price by about $8 to $10 per tonne and, along with last
years record US and (though down) still relatively large CIS
crops, helping to keeping the world export cost of maize at
relatively cheap levels compared with recent past years.
During early April, all eyes were on the US planting intentions
report from the USDA its first survey-based forecast for the
new season. The trade had been expecting US maize area to fall
by 2m to 3m acres from last years 90.6m. On top of that a repeat
of that crops record (171bu/acre) yield was also thought unlikely.
In the event the USDA forecast a decline in area of just 1.4m
acres which, along with a higher than expected estimate for US
March stocks immediately sent US prices lower. The effect might
be short-lived, however, as current wet conditions in the US
southern states are holding up early planting and making a switch
to soyabeans which can be planted later more likely in this
region. So does the corn/soya price ratio which has increasingly
favoured the latter crop.
EU maize putput is expected by COCERAL, the grain trade
lobby, to drop 10% to 66m tonnes from last years 74m. Within
the CIS countries, tight finance and weak currencies boosting
input costs are also expected to lower maize planting and
production. As we go to press, the Ukrainian consultant APK
Inform is forecasting its crop will decline by almost 15% to24.3m
tonnes. On the face of it, all this points to a smaller world maize
crop in 2015 but how much smaller? Estimates range from a
30m to a 40m tonnes drop or more. But against that have to be
counted this seasons larger carryout stocks
Based on its global maize forecast for 2015/16, the IGC has
calculated a potential drop in world carryover stocks for the new
season of about 20m tonnes to 171m. That sounds quite a fall but
it would still leave them at their third highest level since Y2K
hardly a signal for runaway maize prices.
Global feed demand for maize, the largest single outlet, is
expected to show an increase of just over 24m tonnes for the
current season, ending August 31 compared with 55.4m in
2013/14. That suggests other uses are more or less stagnating
after a 33m tonne increase in these sectors in the previous season.
A large chunk of that is clearly down to the dramatic slowdown
in growth of corn ethanol production amid the collapsing price of
crude mineral oil.
Recent maize price trends have been erratic, waiting on more
concrete new crop pointers and subject to fund money ebbing
and flowing in tandem with macro-economic factors like the
strength of the US diollar, the weakness of the euro and attempts
to rally the collapsed price of crude oil. These factors seem likely
to continue creating volatility into second half 2015.

WHEAT
Traders are still debating how far this years Russian wheat
crop will decline after a dry start, a higher risk of frost damage
and difficulty financing spring sowings. A 10-15m tonne fall
would probably encourage the government to keep some sort
of controls on exports, probably an extension of this seasons
temporary duty. Ukraine may also be a more cautious seller
if its crop declines somewhat as expected. Both at least have
larger stocks to carry into 2015/16 but Russia particularly may
want to conserve more of these until its domestic food price
inflation (and its troubled economy) settles down. A smaller
role played by Russia and Ukraine in the world wheat export
market wouldnt mean tight supplies but it would keep prices
off the floor set by these two traditionally cheap sellers in
recent years.
Condition ratings for the key US winter wheat crop are not
great but at last better than last years. That suggests better
yields to compensate for a slightly lower planted area. The
total US wheat crop size wont reach the levels seen in the past
but given importers increasing preference for other, cheaper
origins, it should be adequate to meet demand.
European crops are mostly looking good, especially the key
French crop, which could set a new record. Some analysts
even see the EU wheat total approaching last years all-time
peak (versus a 5m to 7m tonne drop expected earlier). Along
with large carryover stocks, this spells an abundant EU wheat
supply to meet both domestic and export needs although, as
always, the summer months will decide how much of it comes
up to adequate milling specifications.
Among the other key exporters, Canada expects to sow a
similar crop to last years. Right now, its spring planting
weather will be the key to success. Australia meanwhile seems
to be getting some needed rains just in time before its main
planting season.
World stocks of wheat carried into 2015/16 remain hefty, a
cushion against any crop weather problems in the months
ahead.
The drop in wheat values close to or, for some farmers below,
cost of production remains an issue that may affect future
sowing plans.
Global feed consumption of wheat is expected to rise by about
9m tonnes this season, if remaining below the high levels of
three years ago. But will ethanol use of wheat reach expected
levels in Europe under the low oil-price scenario?
COARSE GRAINS
How much maize will the US sow in 2015? Current forecasts
suggest a cutback but still enough for another large crop which,
with large carryover stocks from 2014, should keep this market
well-supplied.
Ukrainian and Russian maize crops will decline this year but
F/V/G(Island):2015 28/10/14 09:46 Page 1
remain very large by comparison
with the previous decade,
keeping Ukraine especially in
the van of international export
competition.
Along with ample maize
supplies from Latin America,
this should maintain the more
competitive global export market
for maize that weve seen in
recent years maybe not at quite
the same frenetic pace but still
likely to demand some restrainr
from world maize prices.
A record domestic maize crop
has enabled EU consumers to
slash imports this season the
main factor in a lower global
maize trade. A smaller 2015 crop
may affect demand patterns here.
