USSEC's focus in this region is to build the market through programs that focus on purchasing, crushing, soy oil refining, fullfat soybean meal, feed formulation, poultry, dairy, aquaculture, soy flour, and soy food.Industry Statistics The major U.S. soybean markets of this region are: The U.S. share of soybean imports into the region was 65% in MY 2007/08. Compared to MY 2006/07, soybean exports to the region are up by 6%. This increase in the sale of U.S. soybeans into the region has been partially driven by the opening of several new, large crushing plants. At the same time, the opening of these plants has slowed imports of both meal and oil. U.S. soybeans remain more competitive than U.S. meal, so the ongoing shift from a regional meal market to a bean market is a positive development in terms of future overall U.S. soy complex market share. Commercial sales of value enhanced U.S. soy flour have increased at a higher than expected rate, with tonnage increasing from 3,000 MT in MY 2006/07 to 4,555 MT in MY 2007/08.

Southeast Asiawww.asaimsea.comHistory and General InformationUSSEC Southeast Asia has a primary office located in the Republic of Singapore with four regional offices located in Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Philippines.

Upon its formation in 2005, USSEC assumed responsibility for these offices. All of USSEC's operations in this region are marketed under the ASA-IM brand.Southeast Asia is a growth market for soybeans and soybean meal ranking as the U.S.'s 5th and 3rd, respectively, largest export customer worldwide. The crushing and soyfood industries will continue to rely on soybean imports to meet their needs as local production in the region is static. The feed and livestock industries are expected to grow by a healthy 10-15% over the next few years. This will drive increasing demand for soybean meal; and as poultry, livestock, and aquaculture producers become larger and more technically sophisticated, that demand will shift increasingly to higher quality dehulled soy meal. The use of full-fat soybean meal is also an expanding market. Industry Statistics
