Grain: World Markets and Trade

Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service Circular Series FG 7-1 July 21 Grain: World Markets and Trade Exporter Wheat Ending Stocks Shrink MMT 8 6 4 2 /1 1/2 2/3 3/4 4/ /6 6/7 7/8 8/9 9/1 1/11 U.S. Major Exporters* *Includes Argentina, Australia, Canada,, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine Exporter stocks of wheat are now forecast to drop year-to-year by 12 MMT (16%), whereas, just a few months ago, these stocks were forecast to expand modestly. Deteriorating crop prospects in several major exporting countries, particularly Canada, Kazakhstan, and Russia, along with strong global import demand, have contributed to that reversal. Tightening supplies are already causing prices in the and the EU to rise. However, the drawdown of exporter stocks is expected to partially mitigate the current production shortfall. The is the exception, with expansion currently forecast in production, exports and ending stocks. As supplies for high protein wheat shrink in other exporting countries, the is well positioned to take advantage of any further tightening of supplies and/or stronger global import demand. With planting just getting underway, the Southern Hemisphere producers, Australia and Argentina, are the wildcards in the supply picture since they typically hold relatively little stocks.

RICE: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE Argentina s Exports Expand as Consumption Remains Flat Exports (TMT) 8 6 4 3 2 1 26/7 27/8 28/9 29/1 (Forecast) Marketing Year Exports Consumption Argentina s exports have jumped by a third in just years as a result of expanding production caused by high international prices, large import demand from Brazil, and few export restrictions. With plenty of water for irrigation, high quality land, and investment in infrastructure, the rice industry is optimistic about its future. Argentina s logistical advantage and the preferential tariff treatment under Mercosur have helped expand sales to Brazil and Chile. However, as exportable supplies continue to grow, new markets will be needed. Currently, the industry is looking to strengthen trade with the Middle East and Venezuela. In a culture where wheat products are preferred, Argentines consume over ten times more wheat than rice per capita, and there is nothing to indicate that this is likely to change. Grain: World Markets and Trade, July 21 9

SELECTED TRADE CHANGES Egypt s 211 exports were dropped 1, tons to 3, on government efforts to lower production in order to save water. Imports were raised 11, tons to a record 1, to make up for some of the lost production. In contrast, 21 exports increased 8, tons to 6, on the pace to date. Iran s imports for 211 and 21 were each dropped 1, tons to 1. million and 1.3 million, respectively, on newly available data. Imports for 29 were bumped 7, tons to 1. million for the same reason. Libya s 211 imports were raised 6, tons to 1, following a tripling of 21 imports to 1, based on large sales from Egypt. Year-to-year purchases are expected to drop as Egypt withdraws from the market. MARKETING YEAR CHANGE The marketing year for Paraguay has been changed to better reflect the country s natural production and marketing cycle. The definition was changed beginning with 27/28: April-March* Paraguay * For Marketing Year 27/28, the starting month is April 28. Grain: World Markets and Trade, July 21 1

COARSE GRAINS: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE Barley: EU Exports Rebound on Shrinking Global Supplies 29/1 EU Russia & Ukraine Other What a difference a year makes at least for barley in the EU. Just a year ago, the EU was losing market share from low-cost regional suppliers (Russia and Ukraine), and from Canada with its single-desk marketing system, while EU barley moved into intervention. This year, EU barley is expected to be more competitive, as intervention is no longer available as a marketing option. Weather-related events can dramatically alter the global trade picture for virtually any commodity, and barley is no exception, particularly when there are only a few surplus producers. The dichotomy of flooding in Canada and drought in Russia has resulted in sharply reduced production prospects, while pressure to meet domestic needs, particularly for feed, are also expected to limit supplies available for export. The EU is holding nearly 6 million tons of intervention stocks, which could either be released later in the season to keep internal prices reasonable, or could be made available to meet expanding exports. Grain: World Markets and Trade, July 21 14

MONTHLY HIGHLIGHT: Oats supplies in the and Canada are expected to fall dramatically on rain-reduced plantings in Canada. U.S. oats imports are expected to fall 1, tons to 1.6 million, as lower Canadian exports are only partially offset by larger EU exports. Canadian, U.S. Oats Stocks Plummet MMT 3 2. 2 1. 1. /6 6/7 7/8 8/9 9/1 1/11 U.S. and Canada Ending Stocks PRICES: Domestic: From June through early July, U.S. corn export prices whipsawed $1/ton, ending up sharply at $16. Markets reacted to favorable early-season crop conditions and additional sales to China. Then, on June 3, lower-thanexpected acreage and June 1 stocks reported by USDA caused an immediate surge in prices. Although all three corn exporters prices are moving in tandem, U.S. prices remain at a consistent discount to Argentine and Brazilian prices on a FOB-to-FOB basis. $/MT 2 19 18 17 16 1 1-Jan 1-Jan 29-Jan Corn Weekly Export Bids 12-Feb 26-Feb 12-Mar 26-Mar 9-Apr 23-Apr 7-May 21-May 4-Jun 18-Jun 2-Jul U.S. Gulf Brazil Paranagua Argentina Up River TRADE CHANGES IN Selected Exporters U.S. corn is cut 1. million tons to 49. million because of reduced crop prospects and lower carryin stocks following the release of USDA s Acreage and Grain Stocks reports. Grain: World Markets and Trade, July 21 1

Brazilian and Ukrainian corn are each raised, tons to 8. million and 6. million, respectively, due to ample supplies and reduced competition from the United States. Australian barley is raised 3, tons to 3.6 million on reduced competitor supplies, particularly in Canada and Russia. Canadian barley is lowered 4, tons to 1. million, the lowest in 8 years, as domestic feed needs and reduced crop prospects will likely limit exports. EU barley jumps 1.4 million tons to 3.6 million as reduced exportable supplies in competitor countries, combined with large carry-over stocks, provide greater export opportunities. Russian barley is lowered 8, tons to 1. million, the smallest in 1 years, on sharply reduced crop prospects. Selected Importers Mexican corn is down, tons to 9.1 million due to ample domestic stocks. Chinese barley is raised 4, tons to 1.9 million on expectations of greater domestic malt use (similarly, 29/1 imports are raised 3, tons to 1.9 million). TRADE CHANGES IN 29/1 Selected Exporters Canadian barley is lowered 2, tons to 1.2 million on slower exports and expectations of tight new-crop supplies. EU barley is raised 6, tons to 2.1 million on the unusually strong pace of export licenses during the month of June. Selected Importers South Korean corn imports are boosted 4, tons to 8.2 million based on brisk shipments from the. Syrian barley is lowered 2, tons to, on expectations of a rebound in production in 21. Grain: World Markets and Trade, July 21 16
