Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service Circular Series FG 2-1 February 21 Grain: World Markets and Trade Barley: A Decade of Change & Export Redistribution 1999/ 29/1 1. MMT Exports 1 MMT Exports EU Russia & Ukraine Other Once upon a time (just ten years ago), the EU dominated much of the international barley market, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East. Competitors, such as Australia and, faced the EU s comparative freight and logistical advantages (there were also small erratic suppliers, such as Syria and Turkey). The EU support programs guaranteed high prices and stimulated production, while export subsidy programs helped to ensure that EU barley had a competitive price advantage against other countries. However, it is all different now. Global barley trade dynamics have changed dramatically with the emergence of low-cost supplies and increased competition from Russia and Ukraine, which also happen to be competitive regional exporters that can match the EU s comparative freight and logistical advantages. EU policies and programs have reduced market and support prices, stimulated domestic use, and de-emphasized export subsidies as a marketclearing mechanism. Recent regulation changes will soon eliminate intervention support for barley, which could cause some acreage to shift to more profitable crops, and further reduce exportable supplies.

PRICES: WHEAT: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE Domestic: Prices for all classes of wheat fell through the first week in February, except for Hard Red Spring (HRS) which was unchanged. Growing global supplies more than offset a slight uptick in U.S. export sales. Soft and Hard Red Winter showed the largest declines, of $24 and $18/ton, respectively, while Soft White fell $1/ton.

RICE: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE PRICES: For most of this decade, the spread between U.S. #2/4 quotes and Thai 1B quotes was positive and moved rather slowly. Likewise, the difference between Thai 1B quotes and Vietnamese % quotes was mostly positive and fairly small. This pattern changed in 28 when Thai quotes fell below U.S. quotes, and the gap between Thai and Vietnamese quotes ballooned. At the same time, prices at all origins were changing quickly and not always in the same direction, creating volatility in the spread. In the past few months, however, it seems that this volatility has diminished as quotes have tended to move in the same direction. In addition, the U.S.-Thai spread has been shrinking and is near zero. With the completion of the Philippine tenders, there may be more stability in the Thai-Viet spread, as well.

Egypt is up 1, tons to 6, in 21 on the government announcement that additional export licenses will be granted due to sufficient domestic supplies. Uruguay is raised 126, tons to a record 926, for 29 and raised 18, tons to 742, for 28 based on new trade data. Selected Importers: South Africa is boosted 1, tons to 8, for 29 on near-final trade data. Venezuela is doubled to 3, tons for 21 on weather-related crop shortages.
