| 39 | Central America & CaribbeanCentral America and the Caribbean rely on feed imported from a narrow set of suppliers, despite a base of locally grown mainland staples. | 40.8 | Dependent | 44 | 45 | 36 | 29 | 48 | 44 |
| 40 | TaiwanTaiwan raises most of its own pork, chicken and eggs, but the maize and soybeans that feed them come by ship, and feed mills keep only one to two months in stock. | 40.4 | Dependent | 27 | 31 | 24 | 24 | 83 | 65 |
