据美国农业部分析预测,由于日本的经济衰退以及目前的币值疲软,在未来数月,日本的饲料谷物进口将大滑坡。同时,由于日本人有可能减少肉蛋奶等昂贵的动物制品消费量,预计小麦和大米的需求将有所增加。日元贬值带来的另一个连锁反应是,东南亚国家试图加强向日出口的努力将受到重击。东南亚国家由于自身的经济困难,曾对日本市场报有较大的希望。与此同时,由于中国国内对饲料谷物的需求增长将极其缓慢,使得中国以一个出口国的姿态出现在国际玉米市场。 According to the USDA’s analysis and forecast, because of the economic recession in Japan and the current weak currency, Japan’s feed grain imports will decline significantly in the coming months. In the meantime, the demand for wheat and rice is expected to increase as the Japanese have the potential to reduce their consumption of expensive animal products such as meat and eggs. Another chain reaction brought by the devaluation of the yen is that Southeast Asian efforts to try to strengthen its export to Japan will be hit hard. Southeast Asian countries have had much hope in the Japanese market because of their economic difficulties. In the meantime, China’s domestic demand for feed grains will grow extremely slowly, making China appear as an exporter on the international corn market.
