Near-term outlook China grain and cotton imports slow as Chinese authorities seek to dispose of stockpiles Allow internal prices to decline Limit imports when possible Subsidize processors? Oilseed imports remain strong China s soybean production may rebound slightly Domestic supply of rapeseed and cottonseed plunging Import demand for meats strong High grain prices mean high production costs for livestock Environmental concerns constrain livestock production High value of the U.S. dollar versus competitor countries remains a disadvantage for U.S. exports
10-year outlook Robust demand income growth, urbanization, consumption patterns shaped by new habits, preferences and prices Supply depends on an ambitious makeover for Chinese agriculture A new great leap to capital-intensive, high-tech farming faces institutional obstacles Environmental and resource protection constrain production Markets for a new era e-commerce upgrading inspection/quarantine to accommodate increased trade Overseas investment by Chinese companies to procure food supply, technology, and attain geopolitical objectives Conflict between rigid food security concerns and flexibility needed for modern food market
