1 MMT $/MT FOB MMT ust 218 Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service Grain: World Markets and Trade Tightening Wheat Supplies in Europe and Black Sea Ripple Through Global Commodity Markets Combined wheat production in the European Union,, and is forecast down 12 percent from last year to the lowest level in years. The EU wheat crop is down 9 percent from last year on hot, dry weather in the northern Member States, while production in and is down from recent bumper crops on a return to normal yields. With global wheat production down substantially from last year, prices are rising. The recent climb in global wheat prices has led corn prices higher as well, even as the spread between the two has widened. Thus, wheat has become less preferred in feed rations relative to corn. This is particularly evident in the, where corn imports and feeding are expected to be record high to support domestic feed demand. Wheat and barley feeding are expected down from the previous year. Also offsetting the lower EU wheat feeding is higher soy consumption.** Globally, wheat food use is forecast to continue steady growth, but the share of global trade occupied by the,, and is expected lower. These suppliers are likely to keep much of their core markets in place, but will likely lose share in regions such as North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia as their price advantage diminishes.,, and the are all expecting larger wheat crops and will likely become increasingly price competitive later in the year. *Prices are composites derived from IGC FOB Quotes. The wheat price is an average of UK feed and Black Sea Feed quotes. The corn price is an average of Black Sea Feed and France (Atlantic).

3 OVERVIEW FOR WHEAT Global wheat production is down this month mainly from smaller crops in the and Turkey. Global trade remains a record, but is forecast down from last month as higher prices weaken demand. Exports are projected lower for Australia and the, but up for and the. The U.S. season-average farm price is up $.1 to $.1 per bushel. WHEAT PRICES Domestic: U.S. wheat prices for the month of y were mostly up due to concerns regarding production prospects in several other major wheat-exporting countries and the consequent tightening of global supplies. Prices for Soft Red Winter (SRW) were up $16/ton to $231 and Hard Red Winter (HRW) rose $24/ton to $24. Hard Red Spring (HRS) quotes improved $23/ton to $27, following some reports of lower-than-expected yields in major spring wheat areas. Soft White Winter (SWW) quotes declined $4/ton to $22. $/MT U.S. Daily FOB Export Bids HRW SRW SWW HRS Grain: World Market and Trade WHEAT Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 3 ust 218

4 Global: Exporter prices were mostly up at the end of y. Concerns of drought in Australia have driven its prices up, leaving Australia uncompetitive on the international wheat market. EU prices were up based on concerns over the size of the new crop. Black Sea quotes rose on tightening global wheat supplies.

6 RICE OVERVIEW FOR Global rice production is minimally lower this month, but remains the second-highest on record. Global consumption is forecast fractionally lower, while ending stocks are down marginally. Global trade is raised slightly with higher imports forecast for Venezuela and Iraq. OVERVIEW FOR 217/18 Global rice production and consumption are nearly unchanged this month. Lower exports for the, Burma, and are only partly offset by higher exports for Pakistan and. Global ending stocks are virtually unchanged. RICE PRICES Global: U.S. FOB export quotes for long-grain milled rice (bagged) dipped slightly to $6/ton, on promising prospects for the upcoming harvest. However, this remains a near-record premium over Thai rice. Likewise, the remains relatively uncompetitive compared to South American suppliers such as Uruguay, still quoted around $2/ton. Over this past month, Pakistani quotes at $41/ton have declined, following a typical seasonal pattern. Thai and Indian quotes are now both around $4/ton, while Vietnamese quotes are down to slightly below $39 on weaker demand from importers. 6 6 Weekly FOB Export Quotes: Last 12 Months $/MT Thailand Vietnam India Pakistan Uruguay *Note on FOB prices: - #2/4 (long grain), Uruguay - %, Thailand - B, India - %, Vietnam - %, Pakistan % Grain: World Market and Trade RICE Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 6 ust 218

7 MARKET FEATURES Smallest Share of U.S. Rice Imports into Mexico since Pre-NAFTA Year to date in 218, the U.S. market share of Mexican rice imports is the lowest since NAFTA entered into force in 1994 and provided the advantage of duty-free imports into Mexico from the. As a result, U.S. exports of primarily paddy rice to Mexico soared, both in terms of market share, but also as the importer s consumption rose. For many years, the enjoyed nearly percent market share as Mexico became the leading U.S. rice export market. In light of high global prices, Mexico eliminated rice tariffs in 28, but only in 211 did other competitors begin to take market share, a trend that began to reverse as tariffs were reapplied in 21. However, Mexico established a duty-free annual quota of 1, tons for all types of rice from all suppliers in both 217 and 218. This has led to further erosion of U.S. market share. January to May 218 data shows U.S. market share at just under twothirds, with Thailand, Uruguay, and Guyana as other Uruguay key suppliers. This fierce competition has negative repercussions for U.S. exports, as Mexico has typically accounted for more than 2 percent of U.S. rice exports on a volume basis.

8 Pakistan Rice Exports Rise to New Record Pakistan is set to hit a new record for rice exports in 218, up 18 percent from last year. Supportive factors have included price competitiveness and steady demand from core markets. In addition, the country is also reaping the benefits of not using a fungicide that other competitors use. In 217, the announced a lower Maximum Residue Levels (MRL) for tricyclazole in rice, with full implementation of these tighter restrictions beginning in 218. Because Pakistani farmers do not have access to this fungicide, which is commonly used in many other countries, Pakistani exports are more easily entering this market. So far this year, EU imports from Pakistan have doubled, while imports from India are only one-third of the volume compared to the same period last year. In June 218, Saudi Arabia announced the same lower MRL for tricyclazole in rice. As a result, Pakistan s market share has the potential to rise in this market, while India s share will likely decline. 4.4 Pakistan Rice Exports MMT Grain: World Market and Trade RICE Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 8 ust 218

10 OVERVIEW FOR COARSE GRAINS Global corn production is up sharply this month with larger crops for the, Serbia,, and Zimbabwe more than offset reductions for and the. Global imports are higher, driven by record EU trade with stronger exports for and Serbia. U.S. exports are also raised on expectations of competitiveness well into the fall. The U.S. seasonaverage farm price is lowered to $3.6 per bushel. OVERVIEW FOR 217/18 Global corn production is slightly lower this month primarily driven by a smaller second crop (safrinha) in. Global trade is forecast lower driven by smaller imports for Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Vietnam more than offsetting gains for the, Israel, and Lebanon. U.S. exports are raised to a record on continued strong sales and shipments. The U.S. season-average farm price is unchanged at $3.4 per bushel. CORN PRICES Global: Corn prices have moved up since the previous WASDE, largely driven by concerns over tightening supplies of wheat in the global market and moderating U.S. corn yield expectations. Even with slow foreign demand, both Argentine and ian bids were up $13/ton each to $17 and $18, respectively. Black Sea bids were up $1/ton to $189 on demand from EU and. U.S. bids were up $1/ton to $17 reflecting continued strong sales and shipments.

11 MARKET FEATURE 's Corn Exports Trend Up 2 % 2 7% MMT 1 1 % 2% 216/17 Oct-May 217/18 Oct-May % EU-28 ROW Forecast EU-28 NA ME ROW East Asia Just in the last years, 's corn exports have expanded rapidly with rising acreage and competitive prices. Due to its proximity and acceptability as biotech-free, corn has been increasing its presence in nearby markets such as the, North Africa, and the Middle East. One key destination, however, is worth noting:. In 212/13, exported only 83 tons of corn to. In 214/1, exports to exceeded 4. million tons, and in 217/18, year-to-date exports to have already exceeded the total amount shipped in 216/17. This makes the top supplier to for the fourth year in a row, replacing the 1. For, particularly in the graindeficit southeastern provinces, corn is attractive due to strong demand for feed grains and price competitiveness 2. The two countries also have a symbiotic partnership that fits their broader strategic goals, such as the "loan-for-corn" deal that was signed in 212. Furthermore, a year-over-year comparison of corn exports shows that the share exported to has grown at the cost of other smaller destinations in East Asia and in the Rest of the World (ROW). Exports to the have been steady, if not growing, partially due to the duty-free access has enjoyed since 214. Key markets in North Africa and the Middle East have sputtered on increased competition from the. In, will be in a prime position to continue its growth as a corn exporter, with a growing crop and increasing export dependency. While tighter wheat supplies in Europe could boost demand for corn in the region, a solid partnership with and rising competitiveness provides significant tailwind for exports. 1 For additional context, the U.S. supplied nearly 7% of imported corn as the top supplier to until 213/14. During that marketing year, 's delayed approval of biotech event MIR-162 disrupted all trade. Although the biotech event was eventually approved in late 214, U.S. trade has not recovered since. 2 Using unit value data of Chinese imports from Oct-May, corn has been near 3% cheaper than the. This is calculated by dividing Total Import Value by Total Import Volume. This measure contains insurance, costs (such as tariffs), and freight and may be a better indicator of what Chinese buyers face, as opposed to exporter f.o.b. price.
