Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service Circular Series FG 7-9 July 29 Grain: World Markets and Trade Argentina s Role Shrinks in the World Wheat Export Market MMT 14 12 Exports Market Share 1% 1 8 1999/2 World Trade 112 MMT 6 4 2 -Year Average (1-6) 26/7 27/8 28/9 2% 29/21 World Trade 122 MMT In the past decade, world wheat consumption has grown by nearly 6 million tons (1 percent) due to growing populations, rising incomes, and changing tastes and preferences (see charts on following page) in the countries of the former Soviet Union, South Asia, and North Africa. Additionally, short crops in the Middle East and North Africa boosted import demand, particularly last year. Yet, despite the need for more global supplies to meet the growing demand, Argentina s exports have plunged 8 percent in only 4 years due to falling production and declining exportable surpluses. Acreage historically planted to wheat has shifted to other more profitable crops particularly soybeans. Wheat yields remain relatively low with limited use of costly inputs such as fertilizer and herbicides. But the biggest reason for falling production and smaller exportable surpluses may be the government s history of unexpectedly imposing export restrictions and taxes on various commodities, including wheat. That not only has created uncertainty for farmers and jeopardized their export sales and profitability, but perhaps also encouraged them to shift to crops less affected by government intervention. Once a major player in the world wheat market, Argentina has been relegated to a minor role as government policies and drought have combined to make the country an unreliable supplier of wheat to the world market.

RICE: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE India: Who/What Filled the Vacuum Left by Trade Restrictions? India, the world s third largest exporter, began trying to limit non-basmati rice exports in October 27 and finally banned them in April 28. This series of policy changes contributed to the panic that caused prices to skyrocket through May of that year. Though their exports dropped nearly 3 million tons in 28 and are expected to drop an additional million tons in 29, the panic has largely abated, prices have fallen, and both stocks and consumption in the rest of the world are rising. What is going on? First, India is an erratic trader, and exports were abnormally high in 27. Second, competitors Thailand, Vietnam, Pakistan, Burma, and Brazil collectively expanded exports by 1.7 million tons in 28, much of which went to historically Indian markets in Africa. Exports from these countries have continued in 29. Third, in a bid to attain self-sufficiency, a number of countries, including Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Brazil increased production, reducing the need for imports, which allowed supplies to go elsewhere. This trend is expected to continue into 21. Lastly, the export ban was not complete, as some government sales were made to Bangladesh and countries in Africa. Case Study: West Africa Though Indian exports to West Africa plummeted by 1.2 million tons in 28 and are not expected to recover much in 29, other exporters made up for all but 9, tons, an amount covered by larger production. Thailand s exports grew the most, but Vietnam, Pakistan, and others also boosted their sales. This pattern is expected to continue through 29, though Thailand s share is falling. Population growth means supply needs to expand at a faster rate, but the short-term rice situation appears less dire than originally feared when India exited the market last year.

India s Re-entry Uncertain It is unclear when India will re-enter the non-basmati market, though reportedly, it could be soon. However, it remains to be seen whether India will regain market share in West Africa and other traditional markets that have found new suppliers or increased their own production. Much will depend on prices and government policies in other exporting countries. SELECTED TRADE CHANGES FOR 29 (UNLESS NOTED) China s exports are slashed, tons to 8, as high domestic prices are making exports uncompetitive. Burma s 29 and 21 exports are raised to 8, tons (from, tons and 3, tons, respectively) on expectations that the current, faster-than-anticipated export pace will continue. Thailand s exports are down, tons to 8. million on delays in the release of government intervention stocks. Imports, on the other hand, are a record 3, tons due to unusually high border trade with Cambodia. Cambodia s exports are up 4, tons to 8, on reports of increased cross-border trade, especially with Thailand. Pakistan s exports are cut 4, tons to 3.6 million based on slower-than-expected shipments. Vietnam s exports are up 3, tons to. million on higher export pace-to-date, fueled by sales to the Philippines. exports increased 1, tons in 29 to 3.2 million and, tons in 21 to 3.1 million on expectations that the current heightened pace will continue, especially for medium grain. Philippines 21 imports are raised 6, tons to 2.4 million on expectations that election spending will spur demand. In addition, slightly lower production will necessitate greater imports. Brazil s imports are down 14, tons to 47, due to near-record domestic supplies. Grain: World Markets and Trade, July 29 12
