| The following GAIN reports were released on February 25, 2025. _______ In February 2025, four U.S. beef, seven dairy, two pork, and 71 poultry establishments that export to China had their registrations lapse on the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) website. While these facilities represent a portion of the overall number eligible to export to China, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has not acted on recent U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requests to renew establishment registrations and are now listed as "overdue" for their expiry date renewal. As of February 25, GACC has cleared shipments from facilities whose registration has lapsed, and Post discussions with other countries who had similar issues previously suggests that GACC continued to facilitate trade while the countries worked to renew registrations. The expiry date for several hundred more U.S. establishments is in March and April and GACC has not responded to U.S. Government facility registration renewal requests. India's Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD), Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying published an Office Memorandum L-110110/44/2024 – Trade (E-32147) on December 30, 2024, specifying the Certificate of Analysis (COA) required to be submitted during the application for Sanitary Import Permit (SIP) for importing milk and milk products into India. It stresses that a Certificate of Analysis (COA) of the previous batch of the same milk and milk products from the manufacturer must be submitted for the issuance of SIP. Indonesia's palm oil export estimates for 2024/25 are lowered due to the rollout of the new B40 Biodiesel mandate which is expected to raise domestic industrial palm demand by 2 percent. The expansion of the government's Free Nutritious Meals Program is projected to increase demand for soy-based foods as well as soy-based feed ingredients to fuel increased domestic production of animal protein for the program in 2024/25. Imports of soybean and soybean meal accelerated in the first two months of 2024/25 as prices softened. On February 11, 2025, the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) issued Sugar Order No. 3 (SO3), allowing new applications for construction and expansion of bioethanol facilities using molasses as feedstock provided certain conditions are met. SO3 series (s.) 2024-2025 amends SO3 s. 2015-2016, which imposed a moratorium on SRA registration of new applications or expansions of existing bioethanol plants in the country. In marketing year (MY) 2024/25, Turkiye's wheat, barley, and corn production is forecast to contract year-over-year due to drier-than-normal weather conditions during the growing season. Despite this contraction, Turkiye continues to hold large carryover stocks of wheat and barley from last year. The Turkish government has taken different steps to drawdown these surplus inventories. In addition, to conserve water in increasingly dry growing conditions, the government recently instituted a program to incentivize farmers to grow crops that are less water intensive in regions where water is in short supply.
