Myanmar requires over 800,000 tons of soybean oil dregs annually for animal feed production, due to increased demand from foreign and local investment. A lack of local supply has necessitated imports from countries such as the US, Brazil, and India. Currently, 20,000 tons of soybean oil residue is docked at Yangon Port, imported for chicken feed production. The inability to process and produce these raw materials domestically is hindering their production, a situation exacerbated by the competition from cheap imported palm oil.
