Grain: World Markets and Trade

Approved by the World Agricultural Outlook Board - USDA

World rice supplies are expected to be tight in 2007, but despite this ample supplies in Thailand will allow it to widen its lead as the world’s largest exporter. Intervention stocks are currently at high levels and the government has signaled that it intends to reduce them by selling more for export. This will allow Thai exporters to profit from strong Philippine and Indonesian demand. Exports to the EU could also increase given the need to replace U.S. rice sales which have been effectively banned. Vietnam’s exports are expected to improve, despite press reports to the contrary, as a consequence of Indonesia’s increased demand. U.S. exports are forecast to slightly decline due to tighter supplies and higher prices,despite strong world demand.

Global import demand will be driven by Indonesia, where imports are forecast to triple. A weak El Nino has led to dry conditions during sowing periods, impacting area rather than yield. Other factors also contributing to the falling area include seed and fertilizer problems and to pressures from land conversion to non-agricultural uses.

The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) will update its production, supply and distribution database for cotton, oilseeds, grains and pulses along with its downloadable data sets at 9 a.m. on the day the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report is released. It is available on the FAS website (http://www.fas.usda.gov/psdonline/). This circular will be released at 9:30 a.m. on the same day. This is an effort to speed up FAS information dissemination to more closely coincide with the release of the WASDE. FAS will evaluate this earlier release process to determine if it should be made permanent in 2007.

U.S. Imports From Canada Continue to Climb: U.S. imports this month were revised up to the highest level in 13 years. Canada has a large, better quality crop this year and imports into the U.S. are allowed to come in duty free. In recent months, Hard Red Spring and Durum wheats have primarily been imported. The United States is forecast to be a net importer of durum and products this year as production has fallen to a nearly 20-year low. Spring wheat supplies are also tight, with production down as a result of dryness in the Plains states. U.S. Winter Wheat Area Jumps: The total U.S. winter wheat seeding area is expected to rise 9 percent from the previous year because of elevated prices (10-year highs). Hard Red Winter (HRW) and Soft Red Winter (SRW) are expected to rise 9 and 13 percent respectively from last year. SRW particulary had ideal planting conditions. Australian Government Grants Two Wheat Export Permits: Agriculture Minister Peter McGauran announced on December 22, 2006 that he granted 2 permits for the export of 300,000 MT of wheat to Iraq by Wheat Australia and 500,000 MT to Indonesia by Cooperative Bulk Handling (CBH) Group, a grower owned and operated cooperative. The government stated that it chose these two because: 1) CBH Group will offer a price premium to Western Australian farmers and 2) Wheat Australia keeps the Iraqi market open for Australian wheat since Iraq will not import wheat from the Australian Wheat Board (AWB) due to its involvement in the UN Oil-for-Food scandal. Currently, supporters of the single-desk believe it was unfair to authorize these export permits because it effectively dismantles the single-desk even before consultations begin between the government and industry over marketing options. Others argue that the decision merely perpetuates the single-desk. The Australian government expects a solution to the single-desk dilemma in May 2007.

PRICES: Domestic: For December, wheat prices for all classes dropped during the month on very sluggish export sales and shipments as well as expectations for much larger global production in 2007. For the month, Soft Red Winter (SRW) prices fell $25, Hard Red Winter (HRW) fell $23, Hard Red Spring (HRS) fell $17, and Soft White (SWW) prices fell $4.

RICE: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE PRICES:

Nominal Rice Quotes – 2002 to Present International: Export prices in Thailand remain high given the strength of the baht and buying interest from Middle East and Asian countries. There are no quotes out of Vietnam due to the export ban though there are reports that state owned exporting firms will be allowed to respond to tenders from Indonesia and the Philippines.

COARSE GRAINS: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS: Taiwan Seeks Chinese Corn: Recently, Taiwan's livestock industry has shown interest in purchasing up to 500,000 tons of Chinese corn due to high U.S. prices. However, trade sources expect perhaps 50,000 tons will be purchased and delivered by the end of February, when the current Taiwanese government authority expires. Strong domestic demand is keeping Chinese corn out of the export market, and there is little history to suggest large sales to Taiwan that would significantly impact U.S. dominance in that key corn market. Taiwan is expected to import 4.5 million tons of corn this year, nearly all from the United States.

• U.S. sorghum is down 200,000 tons to 4.2 million based on the slow pace of sales, especially to Mexico. This is the lowest level of exports in over 20 years.

Selected Importers

• EU-25 corn is raised 500,000 tons again this month to 4.0 million based on the pace of import licenses. This is more than double from last year and the accession of Bulgaria and Romania will likely increase corn trade to the EU-25.

• Mexico corn is up 500,000 tons to 6.8 million because of rapid purchases and shipments. • China barley is lowered 200,000 tons to 2.0 million as a result of tightness in key

suppliers such as Australia and Canada as well as a large domestic crop.

OTHER NOTESStocks: Unless otherwise stated, stock data are based on an aggregate of differing local marketing years and should not be construed as representing world stock levels at a fixed point in time. Consumption: World totals for consumption reflect total utilization, including food, seed, industrial, feed, and waste; as well as differences in marketing year imports and marketing year exports. Consumption statistics for regions and individual countries, however, reflect food, seed, industrial, feed, and waste only. EU Consolidation: The trade figures for the EU-25 for the years 1999/00 through 2002/03 are inflated by the two-way trade between the two groups (EU-15 and acceding 10). Over the past 6 years, this “intra-trade” has averaged about 700,000 tons for wheat, 350,000 tons each for corn and barley, and 150,000 tons for rye. The trade figures also include intra-trade between members of the acceding 10. From 2003/04 onward, all intra-trade has been removed. Statistics: (1) Wheat trade statistics include wheat, flour, and selected products on a grain equivalent basis. (2) Rice trade statistics include rough, brown, milled, and broken on a milled equivalent basis. (3) Coarse grains statistics include corn, barley, sorghum, oats, rye, millet, and mixed grains but exclude trade in barley malt, millet, and mixed grains.
