ORE good news this month for feed
raw material consumers’ costs: The
world supply outlook for maize seems
to be getting looser by the month,
pushing prices down to yet more historical (33month) lows as we go to press. Not only has the
US crop turned out even bigger than expected in
our last review; the second largest consumer of
maize, China, now appears to be using considerably
less than estimated earlier. Top outlet for maize,
the USA might also need less than expected as we
move into 2014 after proposals to roll back targets
for renewable fuel use.
Markets had been bracing for a bigger US crop
number after consistently stellar yield reports from
the gathering harvest during October and the latest
figure didn’t disappoint – 355m tonnes will be 81.5m
bigger than last year’s crop and even that might not
be the end of this story.
The Chinese news, on the other hand, came more
or less ‘out of the blue’ for a market that has grown
used to ever-expanding estimates of this county’s
feed demand. The lower than expected forecast was
made in the latest global supply/demand estimates
from the US Department of Agriculture which cut
5m off its demand in 2012/13 season (ended Sep 30)
and a further 6m from 2013/14t. The net effect was
to raise the USDA’s forecast for China’s end-season
stocks from 54.8m to 67.5m tonnes – equal to about
40% of the world total carryover.
As a result, world corn stocks next September
are seen rising to about 17.6% of global consumption

needs compared with around 15% over the previous
three seasons. China will be the largest stockholder
(compared with an estimated 48m tonnes in the
US, no mean total either!). However, these large
Chinese supplies are seen mostly ‘off-market,’ held
in the vast strategic reserves that the government
there likes to hold for lean crop years. Some western
analysts even doubt that China’s stocks can really be
that high, or, if they are, whether much of is still in a
useable conditions, some carried over from several
crop years past. Nonetheless, this evident loosening
in its internal supply could indicate that China’s import
needs may not be quite as large - or as urgent - as
markets had assumed during the summer months
when it was first tipped to jump from joint tenth
place (with Indonesia) to number 5 in the world
import league.
Caution towards bullish Chinese maize import
forecast was also demanded by two further
developments. One was its rejection in November of
an arriving US cargo that contained an unauthorized
variety of genetically modified maize, sparking fears
that this could happen again (not many years back,
readers may recollect, there was a lengthy break in
trade caused when unauthorised ‘Starlink’ GM maize
was found in US cargoes). As we went to press, China
had bought almost 4.85m tonnes of US maize but
shipped less than 1.5m tonnes of that. Another factor
was a higher Chinese crop estimate from forecasting
body Lanworth - 220m tonnes compared with the
USDA figure of 211m.
Russia’s maize crop has also been increased,
from 9m to 11.5m tonnes which
some observers see releasing maybe
as much as 3.5m tonnes of exports
(against 2m in recent years and very
little before that). However, the much
bigger factor in that region remains
Ukraine whose record 29/30m tonne
crop is expected to allow exports of
at least 18m, compared with 12.7m
last season and its normal average 5m
tonnes in recent years. Ukraine has
already exported around 5m tonnes

from a crop that has barely finished harvest
and during November, shipped its highest
weekly total ever at 969,500 tonnes. Like the
Latin American countries throughout the past
few months, Ukraine has set the price bar low
for other feedgrain exporters. However, the
drop in US futures prices has now made the
traditional largest supplier of corn competitive
on fob terms with most of its rivals for first
quarter 2014 shipments onward.
As noted in our last issue, the corn crop
bounty has extended to the EU too, where
production is expected to expand by about
6.5m tonnes to over 65m. So far this has had
less effect than might have been expected in
bringing down EU corn prices, mainly because
the French harvest has been slowed by
excessive rain. Even in mid-November, this
had reached just 58% completion versus 88%
at the same time last year. Once the harvest is
done and attention turns fully on the Ukrainian
competition, prices here may well come under
further downward pressure..
At this stage, EU corn consumption in
2013/14 is seen more or less level with last
season’s around 70m tonne. Imports – again
with a heavy emphasis on Ukrainian supplies
– are expected to drop by about 3m tonnes
but will remain relatively high compared with
recent years at some 8m.
Like other consumers, Europe will remain
tempted by corn prices that have recently
undercut feed grade wheat on world import
markets by as much as $60 per tonne. The gap
between wheat and maize prices is even wider
on the US futures markets – over $2.20 per
bushel or about $72/tonne on the spot months
compared with just $20 this time last year.
US maize prices have been pushed down
by the large domestic crop, the foreign export
competition and a past season of lower
demand in its own feed and ethanol sectors.
Both were expected to show some revival

&feed millinG technoloGy

Grain

in 2014 in response to
the halving of corn costs
and higher renewable
fuel use mandates set some years back. During
November, the US government confirmed it was
proposing to lower these, including a cut in next
year’s RF mandate. Although the breakdown in
cuts for fuel types is not yet clear, some trade
houses offered initial calculations that this could
put US maize consumption for ethanol 7.5/15m
tonnes below what the market assumed from
the earlier targets. However, others have played
down the impact, suggesting the changes will
have greater impact on so-called ‘advanced’
biofuels like soya diesel, rather than corn ethanol.
Better profitability in the bio-ethanol sector
after the drop in the corn price (and a rise in
ethanol values to five-month highs) may also
continue to support production that has been
buoyant recently by these factors, along with
the industry’s ambitions to export more. In
summary, the outlook for corn ethanol use is a
bit of a grey area, if a potentially bearish influence.
Latin America’s contribution to global corn
exports is seen smaller in the coming year by
the USDA which pitches the Argentine crop
500,000 tonnes lower at 26m but Brazil’s
11m smaller at 70m on the assumption that
producers have sown/will sow more soyabeans
and that Brazil is unlikely to get the unusually high
yields it had from its Safrinhas (second-sowing)
crop maize. Despite that, the Brazilian figure is
probably too cautious. Local analyst Safras e
Mercado, for example, recently put the crop
at 75.2m. It might also be remembered that
the USDA started out estimating last season’s
crop at 70m too. It ended up at 81m. Either way,
though, there will be no shortage of maize in
the season ahead, when world export trade is
expected to reach a record 109m tonnes, (up
10m) even as the global carryover stock piles up.
The tail end of the maize supply outlook
might be a little less bearish. Many analysts

are currently predicting US farmers will cut
plantings next spring in response to the price
drop and consequent better returns from
soyabeans (which will move into this empty
land). Weather will, as always, also play a part
in that sowing campaign, good conditions
favouring early sowings and larger maize areas,
weather delays favouring more soyabeans,
which can be planted later. On the other hand,
Russia and Ukraine have land left vacant by
unfulfilled winter wheat planting intentions, the
bulk of which is expected to go to maize. That
suggests an even bigger contribution from the
CIS countries next year, weather permitting.
In the meantime, futures markets are not
pre-empting any shortages arising from lower
US or South American plantings. As far out
as December 2014, the maize price is trading
around $4.60/bu or about $180/tonne. That’s
less than 8% over the current very low spot price.
It has been an odd couple of months for
the wheat market which, despite a surge in
October to four-month highs of near $7/bu
($257/t) on the CBOT futures market has also
been frequently tempted to test the low side,
ranging down to the $6.30’s ($235/t).
On the supply side of the market, the main
changes in recent weeks have centred on the
expected trimming of CIS crops after rain delays
to their harvests. Russia’s is now assumed to
be down by about 2.5m from earlier forecasts
at 51.5m while Kazakhstan’s has been cut by
1.5m to 15.5m. However, these, in combination
with Ukraine’s, are still good crops compared
with last year’s very disappointing results (the
three in total at 89m tonnes are up by about
16m allowing exports of 34m compared with
last year’s 25.5m tonnes. Their combined
wheat stocks carried into next season are also
expected to rise by about 2m tonnes to around

compared with as low as
$245/250 back in the late
summer months. Ukraine has
also been getting well sold, its
export offers also moved up
with Russian wheat, allowing
EU, US and other exporters
to grab a larger share of the
going import business (see
below). However, India has a
huge exportable surplus this year, poor storage
and another probable record crop on the way.
With world prices now coming within its reach
(its domestic prices had been too high to
export without subsidy), it has begun to release
more wheat and will likely prove a formidable
competitor in the months ahead, probably filling
any Russian or Ukrainian gaps and helping to
slow 1
Page the ascent in international prices.

Other notable developments since our last
review include a big uprating of the Canadian
crop, now seen at a record 33.2m tonnes versus
last season’s 27.2m. This makes the USDA’s
forecast of a 3m tonne increase to 21.5m in
this season’s Canadian exports look a little
conservative.
The EU crop has also outdone all the early
forecasts and is now rated by the USDA at 143m
tonnes versus last year’s 133.6m although some
16.5m. That’s still way under the 27m carried in

If the CIS countries are to make
a smaller contribution to next year’s
wheat supplies, there will be some
mitigating factors. In the USA, the
largest exporting country, winter wheat
sowings are estimated to have risen
by about 3-4%, while crops are in far
better condition than at this time last
year, when large areas of the wheat belt
were suffering droughts (at one stage
recently, almost twice as much wheat
was rated ‘good/excellent'). If the
weather stays favourable over the next
six months that could mean big yields
and a bumper US crop. EU winter
wheat sowings are also estimated
to have increased for harvest 2014
and are similarly blessed with largely
favourable weather – certainly no lack
of rain in the main western European
grain belt and a relatively late start to
cold weather, promoting good growth

The main factor, as outlined in our

bigger US crop that puts world soyabean
supply up by 16-20m tonnes, equal to an
additional 12.5/16m tonnes of soya meal if all
were crushed. The USDA currently sees meal
output up by a more conservative 11m tonnes,
the rest of the extra soyabean supply going to
build global stocks carried into 2014/15. At a
record 70m tonnes these will be more than
Brazil has produced in some recent years.
This surplus may not yet been fully factored
into soyabean prices at $12/13 per bushel.
But either way, if consumers need more meal

than currently estimated, the supplies should
be there to crush.
Other oilseed crops have also turned
out higher than expected. The world
sunflowerseed output estimate has been
raised by 1m to 42.8m tonnes, rapeseed
by 1.5m to almost 68m, putting total world
oilseed production at 280m tonnes or about
25.5m over last year’s. Not surprisingly, the
forward futures markets point to lower
prices in this sector with both beans and
meal seen about 13% cheaper next autumn

than now. Soyabeans are already 25-30%
cheaper than the record peak prices they
reached in the autumn of 2012 (just under
$18/bu).

KEY FACTORS AHEAD –
WHEAT
Will ‘Black Sea’ (former Soviet countries)
crops have a normal, mild or harsh winter?
Planted areas are down and a lot of the crop
went in late but it has been mild so far and there
is no lack of soil moisture – unlike some recent
years. Provided they get some snow protection,
production may not be so far under this year’s
adequate level.

50 | november - december 2013

How much more of their 2013 crops will
Black sea countries want to export? A brisk
early season sales campaign, some emergent
quality deficiencies in Russia, Moscow’s plan to
rebuild reserve stocks - plus some unease in
government circles about next year’s crop after
late, downsized plantings - might all conspire to
encourage a cautious export policy from now
on. That would mean less price discounting to
win foreign deals.
But if the CIS countries do go into export
retreat, India should be able to fill a lot of any

gaps resulting in world supplies. It may not
have top quality but it does have an awful lot
of surplus wheat – much of it in risky poor
storage – and another probable record crop
on the way. So Indian exports could help cap
rallies in international wheat prices.
Europe’s breakneck early-season export
campaign shows no sign of letting up as we go
to press. But at this stage, there seems no danger
of the domestic market running out of wheat.
Plantings for next year’s crop are up, weather
so far promising.
Cheap corn
competition
from Ukraine
especially, $60/80
per tonne under
feedwheat,
should also help
cap the low
quality end of the
wheat market. A
record world
maize crop will
keep wheat use
in feeds below the peak level of two years ago.
But food, bio-fuel and other outlets will still add
about 3.5%, or 24m tonnes to world total wheat
consumption in 2013/14. That continues to mean
only modest stock growth but the global wheat
inventory will still be more than adequate as a
percent of consumption.
The USA, Canada, Australia, even Argentina,
with its weather problems, all still have wheat to
export going into the second half of the 2013/14
season. So importers do have choices.
Markets could get excited again about
Chinese imports taking more of the world
export supply. China’s own crop needs more
rain and its domestic prices are at record
highs, way above the world price of wheat.
Iran could import a lot more with the easing of

trade sanctions but top buyer Egypt’s demand
is uncertain amid its financial problems.
Quality remains a potentially live issue.
Canadian, Australian and French proteins
may be below average in a year when
Argentine wheat availability is halved. But
so far, benchmarks like the North American
hard wheats are holding prices steady at levels
considerably cheaper than at this time last
year.

COARSE GRAINS
The US maize crop is much larger than
expected and this will loosen both US and world
carryover stocks considerably over the coming
year – but there are some wild cards on the
consumption side.
US exports are running ahead of USDA
forecasts. If that pace continues, stocks may not
be quite so large but may still be burdensome
enough to depress US and world prices.
US feed use of maize is expected to recover
somewhat in the year ahead. January quarterly
stock figures will shed some light on the extent
of this trend.
US ethanol demand for maize (40% of
consumption) was expected to rise 5.4% this
season – before the government proposed
curbing bio-fuel blending.
Strong exporter competition will continue for
maize import trade – from Ukraine and Russia
initially and, into first quarter 2014, from South
American crops – whose potential might be
under-rated – but weather there needs to be
watched in the months ahead.
The US is expected by many observers to
sow significantly less maize in 2014 in response
to this season’s surplus, the near halving of prices
and the relatively better returns to be had from
soy beans.
But CIS countries could sow more in the
spring on failed winter wheat lands, raising
export supplies to new rercord levels.
Will China remain a key maize importer,
helping to soak up some of the world surplus?
The biggest crops opf barley and sorghum
for four and five years respectively add to this
season’s abundant feed grain supply.

OILMEALS/PROTEINS
Latin American soya crop weather will be
the main focus in the months ahead. If it stays
as favourable as recently, crops will be record
large and should pressure prices lower for soya
meal and the entire oilmeal complex.
China will remain top factor on the demand
side of the soya/oilmeal equation but its
purchases are likely to switch soon from US
to cheaper Latin American new crop supplies.
Big EU and CIS rapeseed and sunflowerseed
and Canadian canola crops are adding to the
abundance of oil meals implied by record
soyabean production. But will these producers
grow less in 2014?

  • 2. GLOBAL GRAIN & FEED MARKETS Every issue GFMT’s market analyst John Buckley reviews world trading conditions which are impacting the full range of commodities used in food and feed production. His observations will influence your decision-making. Huge corn supplies will anchor feed costs Recovering ‘Black Sea’ (former Soviet country) crops may now live up to, even exceed, their early promise in terms of tonnages but there may be some quality issues after wet harvests for the latter stages of Russia, Ukrainian and Kazakh harvests. The latersown spring wheat and corn crops will be most at risk. 46 | november - december 2013 M ORE good news this month for feed raw material consumers’ costs: The world supply outlook for maize seems to be getting looser by the month, pushing prices down to yet more historical (33month) lows as we go to press. Not only has the US crop turned out even bigger than expected in our last review; the second largest consumer of maize, China, now appears to be using considerably less than estimated earlier. Top outlet for maize, the USA might also need less than expected as we move into 2014 after proposals to roll back targets for renewable fuel use. Markets had been bracing for a bigger US crop number after consistently stellar yield reports from the gathering harvest during October and the latest figure didn’t disappoint – 355m tonnes will be 81.5m bigger than last year’s crop and even that might not be the end of this story. The Chinese news, on the other hand, came more or less ‘out of the blue’ for a market that has grown used to ever-expanding estimates of this county’s feed demand. The lower than expected forecast was made in the latest global supply/demand estimates from the US Department of Agriculture which cut 5m off its demand in 2012/13 season (ended Sep 30) and a further 6m from 2013/14t. The net effect was to raise the USDA’s forecast for China’s end-season stocks from 54.8m to 67.5m tonnes – equal to about 40% of the world total carryover. As a result, world corn stocks next September are seen rising to about 17.6% of global consumption needs compared with around 15% over the previous three seasons. China will be the largest stockholder (compared with an estimated 48m tonnes in the US, no mean total either!). However, these large Chinese supplies are seen mostly ‘off-market,’ held in the vast strategic reserves that the government there likes to hold for lean crop years. Some western analysts even doubt that China’s stocks can really be that high, or, if they are, whether much of is still in a useable conditions, some carried over from several crop years past. Nonetheless, this evident loosening in its internal supply could indicate that China’s import needs may not be quite as large - or as urgent - as markets had assumed during the summer months when it was first tipped to jump from joint tenth place (with Indonesia) to number 5 in the world import league. Caution towards bullish Chinese maize import forecast was also demanded by two further developments. One was its rejection in November of an arriving US cargo that contained an unauthorized variety of genetically modified maize, sparking fears that this could happen again (not many years back, readers may recollect, there was a lengthy break in trade caused when unauthorised ‘Starlink’ GM maize was found in US cargoes). As we went to press, China had bought almost 4.85m tonnes of US maize but shipped less than 1.5m tonnes of that. Another factor was a higher Chinese crop estimate from forecasting body Lanworth - 220m tonnes compared with the USDA figure of 211m. Russia’s maize crop has also been increased, from 9m to 11.5m tonnes which some observers see releasing maybe as much as 3.5m tonnes of exports (against 2m in recent years and very little before that). However, the much bigger factor in that region remains Ukraine whose record 29/30m tonne crop is expected to allow exports of at least 18m, compared with 12.7m last season and its normal average 5m tonnes in recent years. Ukraine has already exported around 5m tonnes &feed millinG technoloGy Grain
  • 3. COMMODITIES from a crop that has barely finished harvest and during November, shipped its highest weekly total ever at 969,500 tonnes. Like the Latin American countries throughout the past few months, Ukraine has set the price bar low for other feedgrain exporters. However, the drop in US futures prices has now made the traditional largest supplier of corn competitive on fob terms with most of its rivals for first quarter 2014 shipments onward. As noted in our last issue, the corn crop bounty has extended to the EU too, where production is expected to expand by about 6.5m tonnes to over 65m. So far this has had less effect than might have been expected in bringing down EU corn prices, mainly because the French harvest has been slowed by excessive rain. Even in mid-November, this had reached just 58% completion versus 88% at the same time last year. Once the harvest is done and attention turns fully on the Ukrainian competition, prices here may well come under further downward pressure.. At this stage, EU corn consumption in 2013/14 is seen more or less level with last season’s around 70m tonne. Imports – again with a heavy emphasis on Ukrainian supplies – are expected to drop by about 3m tonnes but will remain relatively high compared with recent years at some 8m. Like other consumers, Europe will remain tempted by corn prices that have recently undercut feed grade wheat on world import markets by as much as $60 per tonne. The gap between wheat and maize prices is even wider on the US futures markets – over $2.20 per bushel or about $72/tonne on the spot months compared with just $20 this time last year. US maize prices have been pushed down by the large domestic crop, the foreign export competition and a past season of lower demand in its own feed and ethanol sectors. Both were expected to show some revival &feed millinG technoloGy Grain in 2014 in response to the halving of corn costs and higher renewable fuel use mandates set some years back. During November, the US government confirmed it was proposing to lower these, including a cut in next year’s RF mandate. Although the breakdown in cuts for fuel types is not yet clear, some trade houses offered initial calculations that this could put US maize consumption for ethanol 7.5/15m tonnes below what the market assumed from the earlier targets. However, others have played down the impact, suggesting the changes will have greater impact on so-called ‘advanced’ biofuels like soya diesel, rather than corn ethanol. Better profitability in the bio-ethanol sector after the drop in the corn price (and a rise in ethanol values to five-month highs) may also continue to support production that has been buoyant recently by these factors, along with the industry’s ambitions to export more. In summary, the outlook for corn ethanol use is a bit of a grey area, if a potentially bearish influence. Latin America’s contribution to global corn exports is seen smaller in the coming year by the USDA which pitches the Argentine crop 500,000 tonnes lower at 26m but Brazil’s 11m smaller at 70m on the assumption that producers have sown/will sow more soyabeans and that Brazil is unlikely to get the unusually high yields it had from its Safrinhas (second-sowing) crop maize. Despite that, the Brazilian figure is probably too cautious. Local analyst Safras e Mercado, for example, recently put the crop at 75.2m. It might also be remembered that the USDA started out estimating last season’s crop at 70m too. It ended up at 81m. Either way, though, there will be no shortage of maize in the season ahead, when world export trade is expected to reach a record 109m tonnes, (up 10m) even as the global carryover stock piles up. The tail end of the maize supply outlook might be a little less bearish. Many analysts are currently predicting US farmers will cut plantings next spring in response to the price drop and consequent better returns from soyabeans (which will move into this empty land). Weather will, as always, also play a part in that sowing campaign, good conditions favouring early sowings and larger maize areas, weather delays favouring more soyabeans, which can be planted later. On the other hand, Russia and Ukraine have land left vacant by unfulfilled winter wheat planting intentions, the bulk of which is expected to go to maize. That suggests an even bigger contribution from the CIS countries next year, weather permitting. In the meantime, futures markets are not pre-empting any shortages arising from lower US or South American plantings. As far out as December 2014, the maize price is trading around $4.60/bu or about $180/tonne. That’s less than 8% over the current very low spot price. It has been an odd couple of months for the wheat market which, despite a surge in October to four-month highs of near $7/bu ($257/t) on the CBOT futures market has also been frequently tempted to test the low side, ranging down to the $6.30’s ($235/t). On the supply side of the market, the main changes in recent weeks have centred on the expected trimming of CIS crops after rain delays to their harvests. Russia’s is now assumed to be down by about 2.5m from earlier forecasts at 51.5m while Kazakhstan’s has been cut by 1.5m to 15.5m. However, these, in combination with Ukraine’s, are still good crops compared with last year’s very disappointing results (the three in total at 89m tonnes are up by about 16m allowing exports of 34m compared with last year’s 25.5m tonnes. Their combined wheat stocks carried into next season are also expected to rise by about 2m tonnes to around november - december 2013 | 47

Ukraine has also been getting well sold, its export offers also moved up with Russian wheat, allowing EU, US and other exporters to grab a larger share of the going import business (see below). However, India has a huge exportable surplus this year, poor storage and another probable record crop on the way. With world prices now coming within its reach (its domestic prices had been too high to export without subsidy), it has begun to release more wheat and will likely prove a formidable competitor in the months ahead, probably filling any Russian or Ukrainian gaps and helping to slow 1 Page the ascent in international prices. Other notable developments since our last review include a big uprating of the Canadian crop, now seen at a record 33.2m tonnes versus last season’s 27.2m. This makes the USDA’s forecast of a 3m tonne increase to 21.5m in this season’s Canadian exports look a little conservative. The EU crop has also outdone all the early forecasts and is now rated by the USDA at 143m tonnes versus last year’s 133.6m although some 16.5m. That’s still way under the 27m carried in private forecasts for 2013 are several million from the bumper 2011 harvests but welcome tonnes larger still. nonetheless to the bear camp. However, the rise in prices that the wheat Russia does seem to be running low on market saw in October was less of a response to old crop news than to delays in sowing the adequate export quality wheat now and has embarked on a state purchasing programme next batch of CIS wheat crops for harvest 2014. to rebuild its depleted stocks.

The longer this continues, the better chance of reasonable survival rates into the spring although the lack of snow cover was beginning to make a few observers fret as we went to press. 8 – 10 April 2014 . Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC), Bangkok, Thailand If the CIS countries are to make a smaller contribution to next year’s wheat supplies, there will be some mitigating factors. In the USA, the largest exporting country, winter wheat sowings are estimated to have risen by about 3-4%, while crops are in far better condition than at this time last year, when large areas of the wheat belt were suffering droughts (at one stage recently, almost twice as much wheat was rated ‘good/excellent'). If the weather stays favourable over the next six months that could mean big yields and a bumper US crop. EU winter wheat sowings are also estimated to have increased for harvest 2014 and are similarly blessed with largely favourable weather – certainly no lack of rain in the main western European grain belt and a relatively late start to cold weather, promoting good growth pre-dormancy.

Overall, there should be no shortage of wheat supplies going forward which is just as well in a season when global trade is expected to expand by about 4-5m tonnes to 152m – its second highest level ever. The main factor, as outlined in our earlier reviews, has been the explosion in Chinese import needs from less than 3m over the past two years (little more 8 – 10 April 2014 . Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC), Bangkok, Thailand than 1m before that) to a forecast 8-9m tonnes this season. Demand has also been forecast higher into the top importer Egypt (9.5m vs last year’s 8.3m tonnes and a more normal 10/5/11m before its political/economic crisis). Iran may also take more wheat with the easing of trade sanctions in the wake of its recent nuclear nonproliferation agreement. Aside of these seasonal forecasts, there has recently been a lot of evidence that international buyers are already finding wheat better value since it forsook the $350/450 (soft & hard wheat respectively) levels of this time last year for prices closer to $280/340 (see charts).

  • 6. bigger US crop that puts world soyabean supply up by 16-20m tonnes, equal to an additional 12.5/16m tonnes of soya meal if all were crushed. The USDA currently sees meal output up by a more conservative 11m tonnes, the rest of the extra soyabean supply going to build global stocks carried into 2014/15. At a record 70m tonnes these will be more than Brazil has produced in some recent years. This surplus may not yet been fully factored into soyabean prices at $12/13 per bushel. But either way, if consumers need more meal than currently estimated, the supplies should be there to crush. Other oilseed crops have also turned out higher than expected. The world sunflowerseed output estimate has been raised by 1m to 42.8m tonnes, rapeseed by 1.5m to almost 68m, putting total world oilseed production at 280m tonnes or about 25.5m over last year’s. Not surprisingly, the forward futures markets point to lower prices in this sector with both beans and meal seen about 13% cheaper next autumn than now. Soyabeans are already 25-30% cheaper than the record peak prices they reached in the autumn of 2012 (just under $18/bu). KEY FACTORS AHEAD – WHEAT Will ‘Black Sea’ (former Soviet countries) crops have a normal, mild or harsh winter? Planted areas are down and a lot of the crop went in late but it has been mild so far and there is no lack of soil moisture – unlike some recent years. Provided they get some snow protection, production may not be so far under this year’s adequate level. 50 | november - december 2013 How much more of their 2013 crops will Black sea countries want to export? A brisk early season sales campaign, some emergent quality deficiencies in Russia, Moscow’s plan to rebuild reserve stocks - plus some unease in government circles about next year’s crop after late, downsized plantings - might all conspire to encourage a cautious export policy from now on. That would mean less price discounting to win foreign deals. But if the CIS countries do go into export retreat, India should be able to fill a lot of any gaps resulting in world supplies. It may not have top quality but it does have an awful lot of surplus wheat – much of it in risky poor storage – and another probable record crop on the way. So Indian exports could help cap rallies in international wheat prices. Europe’s breakneck early-season export campaign shows no sign of letting up as we go to press. But at this stage, there seems no danger of the domestic market running out of wheat. Plantings for next year’s crop are up, weather so far promising. Cheap corn competition from Ukraine especially, $60/80 per tonne under feedwheat, should also help cap the low quality end of the wheat market. A record world maize crop will keep wheat use in feeds below the peak level of two years ago. But food, bio-fuel and other outlets will still add about 3.5%, or 24m tonnes to world total wheat consumption in 2013/14. That continues to mean only modest stock growth but the global wheat inventory will still be more than adequate as a percent of consumption. The USA, Canada, Australia, even Argentina, with its weather problems, all still have wheat to export going into the second half of the 2013/14 season. So importers do have choices. Markets could get excited again about Chinese imports taking more of the world export supply. China’s own crop needs more rain and its domestic prices are at record highs, way above the world price of wheat. Iran could import a lot more with the easing of trade sanctions but top buyer Egypt’s demand is uncertain amid its financial problems. Quality remains a potentially live issue. Canadian, Australian and French proteins may be below average in a year when Argentine wheat availability is halved. But so far, benchmarks like the North American hard wheats are holding prices steady at levels considerably cheaper than at this time last year. COARSE GRAINS The US maize crop is much larger than expected and this will loosen both US and world carryover stocks considerably over the coming year – but there are some wild cards on the consumption side. US exports are running ahead of USDA forecasts. If that pace continues, stocks may not be quite so large but may still be burdensome enough to depress US and world prices. US feed use of maize is expected to recover somewhat in the year ahead. January quarterly stock figures will shed some light on the extent of this trend. US ethanol demand for maize (40% of consumption) was expected to rise 5.4% this season – before the government proposed curbing bio-fuel blending. Strong exporter competition will continue for maize import trade – from Ukraine and Russia initially and, into first quarter 2014, from South American crops – whose potential might be under-rated – but weather there needs to be watched in the months ahead. The US is expected by many observers to sow significantly less maize in 2014 in response to this season’s surplus, the near halving of prices and the relatively better returns to be had from soy beans. But CIS countries could sow more in the spring on failed winter wheat lands, raising export supplies to new rercord levels. Will China remain a key maize importer, helping to soak up some of the world surplus? The biggest crops opf barley and sorghum for four and five years respectively add to this season’s abundant feed grain supply. OILMEALS/PROTEINS Latin American soya crop weather will be the main focus in the months ahead. If it stays as favourable as recently, crops will be record large and should pressure prices lower for soya meal and the entire oilmeal complex. China will remain top factor on the demand side of the soya/oilmeal equation but its purchases are likely to switch soon from US to cheaper Latin American new crop supplies. Big EU and CIS rapeseed and sunflowerseed and Canadian canola crops are adding to the abundance of oil meals implied by record soyabean production. But will these producers grow less in 2014? &feed millinG technoloGy Grain
