In 2016, around 53 per cent of raw feed materials and grains came from Germany; in 2017, it was a good 55 per cent. These mainly comprised native grain varieties and protein carriers such as rapeseed meal. One typical product which is acquired outside the EU is soybean meal, a by-product of soybean oil production. Overall, a good 23 per cent of raw feed materials and grain was acquired from non-EU countries in 2016 while, in 2017, it was about 24 per cent. The remaining raw materials and grain (25 per cent in 2016 and 21 per cent in 2017) were acquired from countries within the EU. These consist of grain from the Black Sea region, for example, or by-products such as wheat gluten from Germany's neighbouring countries. ✓G4-EN1 Straubing Leer Bremerhaven Hamburg Oldenburg Höltinghausen Lingen Minden Münster Dorsten Langenfeld Borgholz Seitschen Braunschweig Neuss Wiesbaden Querfurt Fürstenwalde
