Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service Circular Series FG 1-7 October 27 Grain: World Markets and Trade Australian Wheat Exports Plummet MMT 18 16 14 12 1 8 6 4 2 Wheat Barley 24/2 2/26 26/27 27/28 Australian wheat exports are expected to fall precipitously 4. million tons from last year to the lowest level in 13 years due to poor production resulting from drought. Because of low exportable supplies, Australia will undoubtedly focus its attention on major importers. It will try to maintain a strong presence in Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, and Malaysia, as well as attempt to recapture the Iraqi market. Nonetheless, it will not be able to satisfy demand for many traditional buyers in Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean. Major grain suppliers such as the, Russia, and Kazakhstan will have the opportunity to increase their market shares in these regions. Other grain exports are expected to be low as well. Barley is projected to remain at a low level for the second year in a row at 2.3 million tons. Sorghum and oats are to drop to 13- year lows because of strong demand from the domestic feed industry. Rice is estimated to plunge to a 46-year low to 4, tons. Approved by the World Agricultural Outlook Board - USDA

WHEAT: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS: Central Asian Supplier Takes Center Stage: Kazakhstan s presence as a major supplier has become a crucial factor in world trade. With higher exportable supplies in, it is expected to export 8 million tons. This will adequately satisfy the needs of its neighboring countries, which have been experiencing rising bread prices. Kazakhstan also will become an important player in the tight global wheat market by picking up slack from Ukraine and. Although landlocked, it still has a competitive advantage in delivering wheat to some major importers (e.g. Egypt,, Tunisia, and Yemen) due to access to Black Sea ports. This does not necessarily shut the door to more expensive U.S. exports, especially to those buyers that have stricter quality standards.

COARSE GRAINS: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS: Coarse Grain Trade Hits Another Record: Global coarse grain trade for has been raised by over 2 million tons this month to a record 117 million. Improved prospects for the U.S. crop, diminished competition, and tight global supplies have boosted corn trade by nearly 9 million tons since the initial corn export forecast for was released in May 27. This month U.S. exports are projected up 2 million tons at a record 92 million. PRICES: Domestic: U.S average corn prices in September were $166 per ton, up over $1 from August prices while sorghum prices soared to $212 per ton due to strong demand from Europe. Early season U.S. sorghum commitments have again reached an unprecedented level of 4.1 million tons, nearly five times larger than the same time last year. Unknown sales of over 2.2 million tons are expected to be largely for shipment to the.

Corn is attractively priced relative to other feed grains, including feed quality wheat, and export competition remains weak. Brazil corn is boosted, tons to a record 8. million owing to large sales to the. (It is also raised a like amount to 8. million tons for 26/7.) China corn is cut in half to 1. million tons, the smallest in over a decade, because of reduced production prospects in the face of firm internal feed grain demand. (The previous year is raised by 4, tons to.2 million based on new trade data.) Australia barley is slashed 2.2 million tons to 2.3 million due to a cut in production. Oats are cut 1, tons to 7, because of limited domestic feed grain supplies. Canada barley is up 4, tons to 2.4 million, the highest in over a decade, due to reduced competition.

barley is up, tons to 4. million, the highest in 6 years, because of North African demand and diminishing Australian exportable supplies. Kazakhstan barley is boosted 4, tons to 1. million, the highest in over 1 years, because of large exportable supplies and strong regional demand. sorghum is raised by 1. million tons to 6.6 million, the highest in 1 years, due to strong demand from the for supplies of GMO-free feed.

Canada corn is boosted by 3, tons to 2. million because of its competitiveness against other feed grains, which have attractive international prices. corn is up 1. million tons to a record 9. million because of tight supplies of feed grains (imports for 26/7 are raised the same amount to 7.1 million). Production prospects for all grains are reduced by over 2 million tons this month and imports of corn from Brazil (and U.S. sorghum) are filling the deficit. China barley is down 4, tons to 1.4 million on a tight international supply picture and production cuts in Australia. Saudi Arabia barley is down 2, tons to.8 million because of overall market tightness. sorghum soars by 1. million tons to a record 3. million. Import licenses and outstanding purchases of U.S. sorghum reflect the shortage of feed grains. Mexico sorghum is cut by, tons to 2. million due to availability of U.S. corn and relatively high export prices for sorghum.
