China Grain Imports to Rise Higher
China’s combined grain imports are forecast at a record level in 2020/21 driven by demand for feedstuffs. The upsurge has partially stimulated grain trade and elevated prices in the world market. China’s imports of coarse grains for 2020/21 (Oct-Sep) are forecast higher this month, mirroring the level seen in 2014/15 when imports spiked due to strong prices in the domestic market. The rise for 2020/21 is supported by strong recovery in the swine sector, which has been driving feed demand higher. Corn prices in the domestic market have rallied since February, and in October, the national price averaged around $362 per ton, the highest since August 2015. Greater imports are primarily driven by corn. The surge in corn imports is partly based on China Customs Statistics and U.S. Grain Inspections data through early November, which indicate that imports will far exceed the tariff-rate quota (TRQ) level of 7.2 million tons in calendar year 2020. There have been no public statements that would indicate that additional quota has been allocated by the National Development Reform Commission, the authority governing the TRQs. China wheat imports of 8.0 million tons in 2020/21 are forecast at their highest level in 25 years as State Trading Enterprises are helping bolster domestic stocks and taking advantage of competitively priced foreign supplies. The price spread between the average domestic price and import price was approximately $70 per ton in September, accounting for over one-fifth of the total domestic price. China is taking advantage of this arbitrage opportunity to help replace and rebuild aging government reserves. Moreover, the government’s domestic wheat procurements were down more than 13.5 million tons compared to last year, further incentivizing higher imports.

Imports of Coarse Grains (Oct-Sep)
Corn Barley Sorghum
The demand for feed-quality wheat has surged because of significant inflation in the domestic corn market. The differential between the national average prices for wheat and corn was below $5 per ton in October 2020, compared with almost $60 last year. The narrow price difference between corn and wheat (new-crop price) is driving significant auction sales of old-crop domestic wheat (at parity or lower than new-crop corn in some instances). In October 2020, domestic auctions sold more than 7.1 million tons compared with the previous year. In contrast, China rice imports are forecast lower compared to last year. The challenges that exist in the feed market have not been as concerning for China in the food market. Food use, which accounts for the vast majority of use, is estimated to be lower in 2020/21 as the government has implemented policies to reduce food waste. Although feed use for rice is typically minimal, this year more rice is being used for feed as the government draws down the massive old crop supplies in sales at very low prices. Notably, the China export forecast is trimmed, with more of the old-crop supplies from auctions expected to meet the strong domestic feed demand rather than expanding to additional foreign markets.

WHEAT
WHEAT PRICES Domestic: Prices for most U.S. wheat classes were up for the third consecutive month, owing mostly to unfavorable early-season crop conditions for U.S. winter wheat and newly planted winter wheat in the Black Sea region. Prices also rose on increased speculative buying of wheat futures. Hard Red Winter (HRW) climbed $8/ton to $276 based on strong shipments to China and continued constrained export capacity. Soft Red Winter (SRW) edged up $3/ton and sits at $271, supported by upward price movements for SRW futures. Continued strong shipments and sales underpinned Soft White Winter (SWW), which surged $17/ton and witnessed the strongest upward movement to settle at $265. Hard Red Spring (HRS) was supported by recent sales and shipments to settle at $297.

OVERVIEW FOR 2020/21 Global production is down this month with lower crops for Argentina and Turkey more than offsetting a higher Russia harvest. Global consumption is boosted on higher feed consumption in China, the European Union, and Vietnam. Global trade is also up, driven by higher Russia, European Union, and Kazakhstan exports; China and Pakistan imports are raised for the third consecutive month. The projected U.S. season-average farm price is unchanged at $4.70 per bushel.
Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 4 November 2020Global Market Analysis
Global: World wheat prices remained firm this month, mostly due to dry weather impacting the start of the growing season in the Northern Hemisphere and unfavorable production conditions in Argentina. Strong global export demand drove further price spikes in Canada, European Union, Russia, and the United States, demonstrated by robust export sales reports this month. Concerns about the rise in COVID-19 infections worldwide and recent rains in Russia and the U.S. Plains softened price increases more recently.

MARKET FEATURE Turkey Government Eliminates Import Taxes as Domestic Wheat Prices Surge
Source: Polatli Commodity Exchange
To combat food-price inflation, a Presidential Decree was issued in October that eliminates Turkey import taxes on wheat, corn, and barley. By reducing tariffs on wheat from 45 percent to zero through December 31, the government aims to encourage local producers to sell stocks and stabilize domestic prices. Importing wheat without taxes would be significantly less than the domestic wheat exchange prices. This policy was implemented as Turkey domestic wheat prices have once again climbed to record levels this year. Hard Red Anatolian Wheat reached 2,333 Turkish lira (TL) per ton this month1, a 48 percent increase from last year. With a stumbling economy and the lira depreciating rapidly, the situation for Turkey wheat producers, consumers, and traders appears bleak. Turkey’s producer price index rose more than 18 percent since last year, and wheat price inflation is outpacing core inflation2 by a significant margin. The Turkey state-operated grain board (known as TMO) continues to buy wheat from Turkey farmers at pre-established intervention prices,3 subsidizing domestic prices to levels higher than those of the global market. These agricultural support programs, along with high tariffs and the country’s macroeconomic crisis, have driven domestic wheat prices above international prices in recent years. Moreover, with wheat prices surging internationally in October, the cost of wheat imports has also increased, further pressuring domestic prices upwards. Imports are forecast down significantly since 2019/20 (Jun/May) due to a larger domestic crop, but are still likely to remain at historically high levels, supported by zero tariffs. Despite larger production,

additional imports will be needed to fulfill internal consumption needs. Recent tenders issued by TMO have further stabilized the domestic market, and these efforts are projected to support domestic milling and curb historic inflation. These imports are also expected to satisfy the needs of its wheat processing sector. With Turkey being the world’s largest exporter of both wheat flour and pasta, the country relies on wheat imports to support processing of wheat products and exports, along with meeting domestic demand.

RICE PRICES
Global: Over the past month, U.S. long-grain export quotes have remained stable at $625/ton, while Uruguayan quotes remain at $620/ton due to continued tight supplies in South America. Thai quotes have dropped to $459/ton as demand remains low. The past few weeks Thai prices have been atypically at a discount to Vietnamese quotes, which have risen to $499/ton due to tight supplies and weather-related disruptions amid the recent harvest. Pakistani quotes are at $385/ton, which have declined since last month amid new crop arrivals. Meanwhile Indian quotes at $350/ton continue to be the lowest among the major exporters.

OVERVIEW FOR 2020/21 Global rice production is forecast lower this month mainly on a smaller crop in Bangladesh. Global trade is up based primarily on Turkey trade data revisions, higher imports for the European Union, and larger exports for Cambodia. OVERVIEW FOR 2019/20 Global rice production is up slightly, with upward revisions for Paraguay, the Dominican Republic, and Taiwan. Global trade is higher, with stronger demand from the European Union, Nigeria, and Turkey. Higher exports from India, Cambodia, and Paraguay more than offset lower exports from Vietnam, China, and the United States.

MARKET FEATURES Iraq Increases Reliance on India for Rice
Iraq is a key Middle Eastern rice importer and is the only country in the region to source substantial quantities from both Asian and Western Hemisphere suppliers. However, this year, Iraq has purchased nearly all of its rice from India, which has more than an 80 percent market share as of August. While Iraq has been able to import almost 700,000 tons thus far, its 2020 imports have been stalled significantly due to a struggling economy amid low oil prices. With overall lower imports, tight competition in the marketplace has allowed India to prevail as the largest rice exporter to Iraq.
The majority of Iraq’s imports from India are basmati, a popular fragrant rice which is similar to the locally grown rice, ambar. The remaining purchases of rice are generally long grain milled white rice, with a smaller amount of purchases being medium grain milled white rice. With basmati rice being more popular, Iraq’s imports of Indian basmati rice have risen from less than 20,000 tons a decade ago to more than half a million this year. Although basmati prices are significantly higher than white rice, the gap between basmati prices and white rice prices have narrowed this year. As basmati prices become relatively less expensive and consumers continue to prefer the taste of fragrant rice, the private sector has been able to sustain these imports. In addition to basmati from India, Iraq also imports jasmine from Vietnam to fulfill its fragrant rice demand. However, with Vietnam’s ban on rice exports earlier this year, India has been able to gain and hold Vietnam’s lost market share.
Meanwhile, white rice that is allocated through the public distribution system has been delayed this year because of budget complications. Iraq imported a small amount of white rice from Thailand as prices have been significantly less than the Western Hemisphere suppliers. While South American countries such as Uruguay and Argentina typically have a portion of Iraq’s white rice market, tight supplies and higher prices have confined their trade largely to the Western Hemisphere. The United States has typically supplied about 100-150,000 tons annually but has yet to sell to Iraq this calendar year amid tight supplies. With a larger crop this autumn and potential new sources of financing for Iraq, U.S. exporters are aiming to see Iraq purchase U.S. rice soon. However, with fewer government purchases and more private sector buying, Iraq is projected to continue relying heavily on India to supply the market.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 10 November 2020Global Market Analysis
China Expands Its Reach in the Medium Grain Market
Over the past 3 years, China has seized the medium and short grain global rice market with expanding low-priced exports. Historically, the United States has been the top medium and short grain exporter, with the European Union, Australia, and China supplying smaller shares of the market. Most rice traded internationally is long grain, but markets around the Mediterranean region and East Asia tend to import relatively more medium and short grain rice.
However, since 2017, China exports have risen sharply with sales from its abundant inventory of low-quality stocks. China medium grain milled export prices fell by one-half between 2016 and 2017 and continue to trend downward in 2020. China exports remain high largely because of low prices in comparison with other suppliers.
For most of the past decade, China exported primarily to East Asian markets: North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. Since emerging as the world’s largest medium and short grain exporter, though, China exports have reached vastly different markets, extending its geographic reach considerably. The largest China rice markets in 2020 are Egypt, South Korea, Sierra Leone, and Papua New Guinea. While South Korea represents one of the core markets, the others represent new regions where China is growing its market share.
China exports are reaching new markets within the Mediterranean such as Egypt. After the Egyptian government limited rice planting area in 2018, the crop fell by more than a one-third and it turned to the global market to offset the shortfall. China thus expanded into the Mediterranean region and Egypt became its largest market. To meet domestic demand, Egypt imported nearly 450,000 tons of medium and short grain rice from China in 2019 and more than 250,000 tons so far this year. Other markets where China has expanded within the Mediterranean include Turkey, Libya, and Lebanon.
Surprisingly in 2017, China began exporting low-priced medium grain to several markets in Sub-Saharan Africa, which had not traditionally been a major market. Exports are sent to a variety of markets in Africa with Sierra Leone being the largest this year. The African markets account for nearly one-third of China medium grain exports.
A relative absence of Australia in the market has enabled China to supply markets in Oceania, including Papua New Guinea. In previous years, Papua New Guinea would import from the United States when Australia experienced production shortfalls, but recently it has turned to China instead based on low price and close proximity.

Looking into 2021, China is expected to continue liquidating its huge inventory. Despite a slowdown in exports to African countries, exports are expected to remain high based on competitively priced commercial shipments and food aid. However, strong domestic demand and the return of Australia to the market will likely limit further expansions to new markets.
Turkey Rice Trade Revisions
This month includes a multi-year revision based on updated trade data from 2013 to present that more closely aligns Turkey imports with what the exporters report as trade to the country. The series now follows the Turkey General Trade System data that includes trade entering and exiting customs warehouses and free trade zones, which were previously excluded. A large portion of Turkey’s rice imports have been paddy that has been imported and then milled, often in the free trade zones. With this new data, Turkey’s rice exports are also increased to show where those milled exports were destined. The charts below show the import and exports as reported last month compared to the current estimates.
While this revision increases both imports and exports for Turkey, the impact on the net imports (total imports minus total exports) is relatively minimal. This additional data provides more comprehensive accounting of the imports across several of its trading partners, including Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Lebanon. Exports by Turkey to these destinations and others are highlighted below.

CORN PRICES Global: Since the October WASDE, major export bids have continued their rallies as expectations for corn production in Ukraine have deteriorated. By late October, all exporters’ bids were at or above $230/ton, a price level not seen since 2014, though prices have eased a bit in the week leading up to the November WASDE. Black Sea bids are up $28/ton to $231 on Ukraine crop size concerns. Brazilian bids are up $27/ton to $233 and Argentine bids are up $23/ton to $225, both on tight near-by supplies. U.S. bids are up $12/ton to $221 on strong sales and a weaker dollar.

OVERVIEW FOR 2020/21 Global corn production is forecast substantially lower as reductions for Ukraine, the European Union, Russia, and the United States far outweigh a larger crop in South Africa. Global trade is little changed overall from last month with lower imports for the European Union, Iran, and Mexico offset by higher trade to China. Global exports are similarly little changed as declines in Ukraine and Russia are primarily offset by a gain in the United States. If realized, U.S. exports (Oct-Sep) would be a record. The U.S. season-average farm price is up $0.40 to $4.00 per bushel.
Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 14 November 2020Global Market Analysis
MARKET FEATURES Turkey’s Corn and Barley Balance Sheet Revised Turkey’s balance sheets for corn and barley4 are revised in the Production, Supply and Distribution (PSD) database to incorporate the revisions by the Turkey Statistical Institute (TSI). In October, the Foreign Agricultural Service in Ankara confirmed that the TSI revised its trade statistics to include goods entering and leaving Customs warehouses and free trade zones in Turkey. The revisions, covering from 2013 through the present, boost corn and barley imports to be more in line with exporters’ data. Exports for both grains are also raised by a similar magnitude, apparently reflecting transshipments to third countries, primarily Iraq and Syria.
Likewise, corn and barley balance sheets for Iraq and Syria are updated in the PSD database for the same period. Turkey has become as a major transshipment point for feed grain trade in the region, and the revisions provide practical confirmation in the absence of readily available statistics by Iraq and Syria. The magnitude of revisions is larger for corn than barley in both countries. With abundant local production, barley remains the key feed grain used in both Iraq and Syria.

Record-breaking Year for Ukraine Corn Slips Out of Reach
Despite an initially promising outlook for the 2020/21 year, the forecasts for Ukraine corn production and exports have fallen substantially. In May 2020, Ukraine was forecast at 39.0 million metric tons (tons) of corn production and 33.0 million tons of exports; as of this month, production and exports are down to 28.5 million tons and 22.5 million tons, respectively. Drought conditions across the country have devastated the corn crop and resulted in downward revisions. As an export-focused market, the cut to Ukraine’s corn production has corresponded to lower expected exports. Ukraine’s competitors are in position to secure more volume in two major markets – the European Union and China. As discussed in last month’s Grain: World Markets and Trade report5, Ukraine and the European Union are each other’s largest trading partners for corn; Ukraine is also the primary supplier of corn to China. However, Brazil is the second-largest exporter of corn to the European Union, and inspections of U.S. corn to China (since September 1) have exceeded 2.1 million tons. Moreover, as discussed in this month’s cover story, China is expected to import substantively beyond its tariff-rate quota of 7.2 million tons in CY 2020. The deep cuts to Ukraine’s production and exportable supplies are expected to impact both the volume of trade with the European Union as well as market share in China. With Brazil forecast to have record production in 2020/21 and the United States forecast to have both its second-highest production on record and ample supplies, global trade is seeing a rebalancing as the United States steps up its exports, filling the gap in global markets when other corn exporters fall short. On top of the available supplies, U.S. corn is currently price-competitive against other bids as well.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 16 November 2020Global Market Analysis
Aside from China, the other countries in East Asia (Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan) have historically imported substantial volumes of corn from the United States, but over the past few years, Brazil has captured some of this trade for itself. One possible rebalancing scenario would be a temporary reversal of this trend where Brazil exports smaller volumes to these markets in favor of the European Union, leaving more room for U.S. corn to fill East Asian demand. So far in 2020/21, U.S. Export Sales Reporting total commitments to each of these three countries are up from the same time last year.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 19 November 2020Global Market Analysis
OTHER NOTES Local Marketing Years (LMY): LMY refers to the 12-month period at the onset of the main harvest, when the crop is marketed (i.e., consumed, traded, or stored). The year first listed begins a country's LMY for that commodity (2019/20 starts in 2019); except for summer grains in certain Southern Hemisphere countries and for rice in selected countries, where the second year begins the LMY (2019/20 starts in 2020). Key exporter LMY’s are:
Wheat Corn Barley Sorghum Argentina (Dec/Nov) Argentina (Mar/Feb) Australia (Nov/Oct) Argentina (Mar/Feb) Australia (Oct/Sep) Brazil (Mar/Feb) Canada (Aug/Jul) Australia (Mar/Feb) Canada (Aug/Jul) Russia (Oct/Sep) European Union (Jul/Jun) United States (Sep/Aug) China (Jul/Jun) South Africa (May/Apr) Kazakhstan (Jul/Jun) European Union (Jul/Jun) Ukraine (Oct/Sep) Russia (Jul/Jun) India (Apr/Mar) United States (Sep/Aug) Ukraine (Jul/Jun) Kazakhstan (Sep/Aug) United States (Jun/May) Russia (Jul/Jun) Turkey (Jun/May) Ukraine (Jul/Jun) United States (Jun/May)
For a complete list of local marketing years, please see the FAS website (https://apps.fas.usda.gov/psdonline/): go to Reports, Reference Data, and then Data Availability. Stocks: Unless otherwise stated, stock data are based on an aggregate of differing local marketing years and should not be construed as representing world stock levels at a fixed point in time. Consumption: World totals for consumption reflect total utilization, including food, seed, industrial, feed, and waste; as well as differences in local marketing year imports and local marketing year exports. Consumption statistics for regions and individual countries, however, reflect food, seed, industrial, feed, and waste only. Trade: All PSD tables are balanced on the different local marketing years. All trade tables contain Trade Year (TY) data which puts all countries on a uniform, 12-month period for analytical comparisons: wheat is July/June; coarse grains, corn, barley, sorghum, oats, and rye are Oct/Sept; and rice is calendar year. EU Consolidation: The trade figures starting from 1999/00 represent the European Union (EU27 plus UK) and exclude all intra-trade. For the years 1960/61 through 1998/99, figures are the EU-15 and also exclude all intra-trade. EU-15 member states' data for grains are no longer maintained in the official USDA database. Data for the individual NMS-10, plus Bulgaria, Romania, and Croatia, exists only prior to 1999/00. Statistics: (1) Wheat trade statistics include wheat, flour, and selected pasta products on a grain equivalent basis. (2) Rice trade statistics include rough, brown, milled, and broken on a milled equivalent basis. (3) Coarse grains statistics include corn, barley, sorghum, oats, rye, millet, and mixed grains but exclude trade in barley malt, millet, and mixed grains.
