CANADIAN LENTIL BALANCE SHEET
35
LENTIL OUTLOOK
Large ending stocks for 17/18
Been there before (not helpful for bids)
For 18/19
Supplies steady
Need improved demand (will require low prices)
Not counting on more demand from India
Ending stocks a bit lower but still “comfortable”
36
CANADIAN FABABEAN ACREAGE
Sask acreage
mostly steady
CANADIAN FABABEAN EXPORTS
15-25 kt per year,
but very erratic
AUSTRALIAN FABABEAN PRODUCTION
Multi-year low
in 2017
FABA/BROAD BEAN PRODUCTION – EU28
Expansion in
Baltic & East
SELECTED FABABEAN PRICES
Aussie prices
bouncing back
CDN FABABEAN & FEED PEA BIDS
Establishing
a premium?
FABABEAN OUTLOOK
For 2017/18
More upside for export market
Some strength possible in protein market
For 18/19
Cdn production up a bit (as pulse alternative)
Steady as feed source
Continued export competition
Need domestic processing (longer term)
43
GLOBAL SOYBEAN PRODUCTION & USE
Usage growing
~16mmt per year
GLOBAL SOYBEAN ENDING STOCKS
Record large but
leveling off
CHINA SOYBEAN PROD’N & IMPORTS
Consumption growing
at 7-8 mmt per year
SOUTH AMERICAN SOYBEAN PROD’N
Small drop this year?
SOUTH AMERICAN VEGETATION
US ENDING STKS & FARM PRICE
USDA price steady?
CANADIAN SOYBEAN ACREAGE
Cdn acreage steady?
CANADIAN SOYBEAN EXPORTS
Cdn exports catching
up now but need to
keep moving
SOYBEAN BASIS
Western basis weaker
SOYBEAN OUTLOOK
For 2017/18
Waiting on the South American crop (already factored in?)
China shifts purchases to Brazil
Canadian supplies heavy
For 18/19
Acreage expected higher in US
Need another big production increase (again)
Any weather hiccups will lift prices
