The results also show the same trends for other commodities, with a strong pass-through from Chinese imports to Brazilian exports in the cases of sugar and poultry, but much weaker transmission for vegetable oil and cotton. Coarse grain demand is dominated by feed use. Feed use is expected to increase following a small decline in 2016, growing at 1.5% per year during the projection period to about 49.9 Mt by 2024, 23% above base period volume, more than keeping pace with the assumed increase in the production of non-ruminant meat (Figure 2.12).
