• During 2021-22, higher domestic prices have resulted in lower Soybean meal exports at 1.20 lakh tonnes as compared to 5.00 lakh tonnes exported mainly to Europe in 2020-21.
• The government in August 2021 relaxed import rules to allow the first shipments of 1.2 million tonnes of GM Soymeal to help the poultry industry after animal feed prices tripled in a year to a record high.
