1 United States Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service Circular Series WAP 2-18 February 2018 World Agricultural Brazil Soybeans: Another Bumper Crop in the Making Brazil soybean production for 2017/18 is estimated at 112 million metric tons (mmt), up 2 mmt or 2 percent from last month but still down 2 percent from last year s record. Harvested area is estimated at a record 35 million hectares, unchanged from last month but up 3 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 3.20 metric tons per hectare, up 2 percent from last month, but down 5 percent from last year s record. Planting was delayed in many areas due to sub-optimal moisture conditions early in the season. Once moisture conditions improved planting progressed at a rapid pace and the crop has developed well. In most major crop areas, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) indicates vegetation health is near-to-above last year which produced above-average to record yields. Approved by the World Agricultural Outlook Board

2 The exception is southern Rio Grande do Sul (2 percent of Brazil soybean production), where crop growth is delayed and NDVI is below last year. This region experienced drier than normal conditions in November and much of December but has seen some recovery due to January rains. Overall, however, with the majority of Brazil s soybean crop in very good condition and with increased yield potential, prospects are high for another bumper soybean crop. The crop is harvested from January to June. According to government and trade sources, about 5 percent of Brazil s soybean crop has been harvested; in Mato Grosso 20 percent of the crop has been harvested, behind last year s pace, but near the 5-year average despite wet weather in January that delayed the start of the soybean harvest. (For more information, please contact Maria.Anulacion@fas.usda.gov). Argentina Soybeans: More Rain Needed to Finish the Season Argentina soybean production for 2017/18 is estimated at 54.0 million metric tons, 4 percent below last month and 7 percent below last year. Area is estimated at 18.5 million hectares, down 1 percent from last month but still up 1 percent from 2016/17. Yields are expected to be good, despite the dryness. Forecast yields are averaging around 2.92 tons per hectare, down 2 percent from last month and down 7 percent from last year. Dry soils delayed planting of second-crop soybeans and late-sown first crop soybeans 2

3 until rainfall arrived in late January. (For information, please contact India Soybeans: Dry Conditions Negatively Impact Yields USDA estimates India soybean production for 2017/18 at 9.5 million metric tons (mmt), down 5 percent from last month and down 17 percent from last year. Harvested area is estimated at 10.5 million hectares, unchanged from last month, but down nearly 8 percent from last year. The year-to-year decrease is due to farmers switching to cotton and pulses. Yield is estimated at 0.90 tons per hectare, down about 5 percent from last month but 4 percent above the 5-year average. Dry conditions during planting negatively impacted vegetative growth and pod development. During field travel in mid- September, USDA/FAS personnel observed smaller-than-average seed size in Maharashtra, a major soybean area. (For more information, please contact Arnella.Trent@fas.usda.gov.) Ukraine Sunseed: USDA Analysis Supports Current Estimate USDA estimates Ukraine 2017/18 sunseed production at 13.0 million metric tons (mmt), unchanged from last month but down 2.2 mmt from last year s record. Estimated area and yield are also unchanged, at 6.4 million hectares and 2.03 metric tons per hectare. The estimates are based in part on preliminary harvest data released by the State Statistical Service of Ukraine (SSS), which cites net sunseed output at 12.2 mmt. The USDA number also includes estimated output not reflected in the SSS number, as well as reported output from Crimea. Analysis of sunseed-oil export data and other reliable data indicates official sunseed production numbers have underestimated actual output over the past twelve years, sometimes by as much as 16 percent. Private commodity 3

4 analysts attribute the discrepancy largely to inaccurate data provided to the SSS by sunseed producers, who routinely under-report actual area and production in an effort to appear compliant with official sanctions against the too-frequent planting of sunflowers. Specialists recommend that sunflowers not be planted in the same field more than once every five to seven years in order to reduce the occurrence of soil-borne fungal diseases. Due to the consistently high profitability of sunseed, however, many farmers are inclined to push the rotation and plant sunflowers more frequently than recommended. (For more information, please contact Malaysia Palm Oil: Record Estimated Malaysia s 2017/18 palm oil production is estimated at a record 20.5 million metric tons (mmt), unchanged from last month but up 9 percent from last year. Mature oil palm area is estimated at a record 5.2 million hectares (mha), up 0.3 mha or 6 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 3.94 tons per hectare, which is up 2 percent from last year. Palm oil yields and production are expected to recover this season as a more favorable rainfall pattern is expected to prevail in all major producing areas. The 2017/18 marketing year began in October 2017 and runs through September Cumulative monthly palm oil production from October through December 2017 totaled about 1.0 mmt above last year, providing early evidence of a strong recovery. 4

5 February is typically the month with the lowest output. The rate of new oil palm plantings has also reportedly increased following three years of government subsidies targeting old growth areas managed by smallholders. New acreage has also reportedly been coming into production with the conversion of old rubber plantations in peninsular Malaysia. (For more information, please contact Argentina Corn: Pockets of Heat and Dryness Reduce Estimated Yield Argentina corn production for 2017/18 is forecast at 39.0 million metric tons, down 7 percent from last month and 5 percent from last year. Area is estimated at 5.2 million hectares, the same as last month and 6 percent higher than last season. The yield forecast of 7.50 tons per hectare is 7 percent below last month s yield and 10 percent lower than last year. Argentina s corn crop has a wide planting window, and both early and late-planted crops have been affected by heat and dryness as crops approach reproductive stage. Localized rains at the end of January helped late-corn seeding, resulting in mixed conditions across regions. (For information, please contact Denise.Mcwilliams@fas.usda.gov.) Mexico Corn: Favorable Rainfall Boosts Yield USDA estimates Mexico 2017/18 corn production at 26.5 million metric tons, up 1 percent from last month, but still down 4 percent from last year s record. Harvested area is estimated at 7.23 million hectares (mha), slightly down from last month and down 4 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 3.67 tons per hectare up 1 percent from last month matching last year s record. After excessive rainfall delayed the start of planting for the spring/summer main corn season in some major producing areas, a short-lived dry spell in June followed by a return to normal 5

6 rainfall allowed growth and development to progress favorably. Moreover, reports of timely rain in the silking stage the most critical growth period where the water requirement is at its peak boosted yield potential. Yield potential for the spring/summer corn season, depends on seasonal rainfall as the crop is predominantly rainfed. The satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index indicated average to aboveaverage conditions in Mexico s main producing corn areas, similar to that of last year. Harvest for the spring/summer crop season is complete. (For more information, please contact Justin.Jenkins@fas.usda.gov.) Brazil Cotton: Estimated Up on Higher Area Cotton production for 2017/18 is estimated at 8.0 million 480-pound bales, up 0.2 million bales or 3 percent from last month, and up 1.0 million bales or 14 percent from last year. Harvested area is estimated at 1.1 million hectares, up 2 percent from last month, and up 180 thousand hectares or 19 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 1,555 kilograms per hectare, up 1 percent from last month but still down 4 percent from last year s record. 6

7 Cotton is planted from November to February in the principal cotton-growing southeast and central states and in Bahia. In other northeastern cotton-growing areas, planting continues until May. Planted area is up as producers are encouraged by higher prices and by last year s record yield. Cotton area increased for the third consecutive year in Mato Grosso (62 percent of Brazil s cotton production). Most of Mato Grosso s cotton is planted as a second crop after soybeans. Planting is ongoing but behind schedule due to delays in the soybean harvest in areas where wet conditions in January hampered fieldwork. In Bahia (25 percent of Brazil s cotton production), area is rebounding after three consecutive years of decline when producers were discouraged by low prices and reduced output from adverse weather. Planting in Bahia is expected to conclude by mid-february. The majority of the cotton crop will be harvested from June to August. (For more information, please contact Maria.Anulacion@fas.usda.gov). India Cotton: Pink Bollworm Impacts Yields USDA estimates 2017/18 India cotton production at 28.5 million 480-pound bales, down nearly 3 percent from last month but still up 6 percent from 2016/17. Harvested area is estimated at 12.3 million hectares, unchanged from last month but up 13 percent from last year. The year-to-year increase in area was due to farmers optimism over a generally favorable monsoon and more favorable returns than oilseeds and pulses. Yield is estimated at 504 kilograms per hectare, down 3 percent from the 5-year average and down 7 percent from 2016/17, which was a record yield. Despite near-record harvested area, production is estimated to decrease. Inconsistent rainfall and pests have been reported throughout central cotton producing areas of Maharashtra and the southern cotton areas of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka. Trade sources have estimated 40 percent of the Maharashtra crop has been impacted by pink bollworm. In Telangana, a high incidence of pink bollworm and aphids for the first picking was reported. In Gujarat, however, which produces 30 percent of India s total output, no incidence of pest infestation has been reported. Pink bollworm consumes the cotton fiber and seeds inside the boll or fruit and usually leaves the vegetation unharmed. There are a number of reasons for the high infestation including resistance of bollworm to BT toxins, use of unapproved seeds and poor integrated pest management. Cotton is grown only in the kharif season. Harvest begins in October in northern India and typically continues until January in the rest of the country. India s main cotton regions (north, central, and south) have all reported increases in harvested area relative to last year. The northern area has reported an increase of 30 percent, whereas the southern area is expected to increase planted area by 2 percent above last year. The major cotton area in central India including 7

8 Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh are up nearly 10 percent from Private trade sources have estimated that 34 percent of the total estimated crop has been brought to the market as of mid-january. (For more information, please contact Australia Cotton: Forecast Reduced Slightly The 2017/18 Australia cotton crop is forecast by USDA at 4.4 million 480- pound bales (958,000 metric tons), down 0.2 million bales from last month but still up 0.35 million or 9 percent from last year. Harvested area is estimated at million hectares (mha), down 0.1 mha from last month, and down 25 percent from last year. Yield is forecast at 2,202 kilograms per hectare, 12 percent above the 5-year average. Yield is expected to increase from last year because of a forecast decrease in the share of the area sown to lower-yielding dryland cotton. Irrigated cotton yields are substantially higher than dryland yields and the difference widens in low-rainfall years. On average about 90 percent of Australia s total cotton production comes from irrigated areas. Dryland planting tends to vary with the seasonal weather forecast and prices at sowing. Dryland cotton area is forecast to decrease, reflecting area lost due to a very hot and dry January. The notable factors this season are the increase in cotton area in southern New South Wales and a smaller overall dryland crop. Sorghum and cotton are the two dominant summer crops in eastern Australia. Cotton sowing commences in October and harvest begins in April. (For more information, please contact James.Crutchfield@fas.usda.gov). 8

9 China Cotton: Up 21 Percent From Last Year Due to Record Yields China cotton is expected to be especially plentiful in the 2017/18 marketing year, as record yields and high acreage are on track to produce the largest cotton harvest in three years. USDA estimates the production at 27.5 million 480-pound bales (5.99 million metric tons), up 4 percent from last month and up 21 percent from last year. Area is estimated at 3.4 million hectares (mha), up 17 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at a record 1,761 kilograms per hectare (kg/ha) up 1 percent from last month and up 3 percent from the previous record of 1,708 kg/ha in 2016/17. Cotton harvest progressed well and is complete across Xinjiang province and in the eastern provinces of Shandong, Hebei, and Jiangsu. According to the China Cotton Association, by the end of December farmers had sold over 80 percent of the crop. In December and February, the China Fibre Inspection Bureau reported that Xinjiang cotton inspection data was well over 22 percent higher than the same time last year. The pace of inspection data continues to indicate higher-than-expected production. Overall, the 2017/18 season was characterized by favorable weather across the major cotton growing regions. The satellite derived NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) data were significantly above average throughout the season across the major cotton growing regions including Aksu prefecture in Xinjiang province. In 2017/18, China cotton area increased approximately 17 percent year to year due to higher cotton prices in 2016/17. The area increased the most in Xinjiang and Hebei provinces. According to the National Cotton Monitoring Network, Xinjiang province planted over 2 mha increasing its cotton production to roughly 78 percent of the national total. This year s area increase marks a change from the recent trend. For the past five consecutive seasons, cotton harvested area declined across all cotton regions as farmers responded to changes in agricultural policy. In 2014, the government announced and enacted policies regarding the removal of cotton support or direct subsidies to farmers in an effort to deal with high stockpiles of cotton.

10 Argentina Wheat: Harvest Complete USDA estimates Argentina wheat production for 2017/18 at 18 million metric tons, up 3 percent from last month, but still down 2 percent from last year. Area is estimated at 5.6 million hectares, the same as last month and up less than 1 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 3.21 tons per hectare, up 3 percent from last month but still down 3 percent from last year. Adequate subsoil moisture, particularly in northern Buenos Aires, La Pampa, southern Santa Fe, and southern Cordoba, benefited yields. (For information, please contact Denise.McWilliams@fas.usda.gov). Ukraine Wheat: Another Bumper Crop Ukraine wheat production for 2017/18 is estimated by USDA at 27.0 million metric tons (mmt), up 0.5 mmt from last month and up 0.2 mmt from last year. The increased estimate is based on preliminary harvest data from the State Statistical Service of Ukraine, which includes output from Crimea. Yield is estimated at 4.06 metric tons per hectare (t/ha), up 1 percent from last month and second only to last year s record 4.15 t/ha. The four highest yields of the past 25 years have all occurred within the past four years. Although the past three years in particular have been marked by exceptionally favorable weather for wheat, the steady increase in yield over the past 15 years reflects a steady improvement in agricultural technology, including more efficient harvesting machinery.
