A WorldCity analysis of the latest U.S. Census Bureau data shows that Myanmar’s (Burma) trade with the U.S. rose to $674.65 million in the first six months of 2020, a 39.47% increase over total trade during the same time period in 2019. U.S. exports to Myanmar increased 27.01%. In particular, soybean oilcake (other solid residue, not ground) rose 31.31% compared to last year. Year to date, Myanmar has imported soybean oilcake from the U.S. valued at $42.81 million and U.S. soybeans valued at $6.77 million.[1]

 

Additionally, Timothy Loh, USSEC Regional Director – Southeast Asia, states, “Our U.S. soybean meal exports to Myanmar this season have been very good.”

Video: Decoding Pig Performance With AI And Transcriptomics - Dr. Maria Walsh

The Swine it Podcast Show, Dr. Maria Walsh, Chief Operating Officer at Biofractal, explains how transcriptomics and AI are helping swine producers better understand the gap between genetic potential and commercial performance. Dr. Walsh discusses metabolic efficiency, disease resilience, PRRS challenges, and practical on-farm biological insights using blood samples and AI-powered analysis. She also explains how nutrition, health, and production data can work together to improve decision-making. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Gene expression data provides biological insight into how pigs respond to nutrition, stress, and health challenges before visible production losses occur."
