China’s Exports of Corn-based Products Rise

China and the United States have been top exporters of corn-based products1. In 2017/18 China’s exports of these products have grown nearing 5 million tons, roughly equivalent to 10-15 million tons of unprocessed grain corn. South Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and the European Union have been top destinations for these products. While China is not competitive on corn exports due to higher domestic prices relative to world levels, it appears that the country is competitive in the corn-based product market. China already has ample wet milling (so-called “deep processing”) capacity established years ago when the government singled out corn processing as a key industry and stressed developments of value-added supply chains. Similarly, there have been support programs that include subsidies for purchasing corn aimed at industrial processors and support in the form of refunds of value-added tax for exports of corn-based products. Moreover, because of limited competition in global trade of corn-based products, China benefits from proximity to its key markets. For the United States, corn-based products are exported mainly to Canada, Mexico, and other countries in the Western Hemisphere.

WHEAT

WHEAT PRICES

Domestic: Wheat prices were up at the end of November due to improved export demand and unfavorable weather in some exporting countries. Hard Red Winter (HRW) gained $5/ton to $239 due to a slow pace of new-crop plantings, while Soft Red Winter (SRW) rose $9/ton to $223 driven by confirmation of sales to Egypt. Soft White Winter (SWW) was little changed at $237/ton. Hard Red Spring (HRS) gained $7/ton to $264.

Source: IGC

OVERVIEW FOR 2018/19 Global wheat production is nearly unchanged this month as larger crops for Canada and Mexico mostly offset a reduction for Australia. Global import demand is little changed. Higher exports for Russia partially offset cuts to Australia and the European Union. The U.S. season-average farm price is raised $0.05 to $5.15 per bushel.

Global: Exporter quotes were mixed in November, but mostly rangebound. Argentine, Australian, and Black Sea prices were down, while Canadian, EU, and U.S. quotes were up. Argentina has begun harvesting what is estimated to be a record crop, pushing prices lower. Australia’s quotes have come down slightly with harvest progressing, but its export prices remain uncompetitive as the crop is significantly reduced by drought. U.S. and Canadian prices are up on strong international demand. Black Sea, EU, Argentine, and U.S. quotes are currently within a very narrow range.

MARKET FEATURES

By-Class Summaries: Hard Red Winter Hard Red Winter (HRW) is the largest class of U.S. wheat, representing about 40 percent of production and 35 percent of exports. Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas are the major producing states of this class. It is used to make general-purpose flour for many products including bread, rolls, and flat breads. As a winter wheat, it is planted in the autumn, goes dormant during the winter months, emerges from dormancy in spring, and is harvested in early summer. Mexico is normally the largest buyer of this class, but it is also exported to other destinations in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. 2018/19 HRW Exports Behind Pace, but Expected to Improve The pace of HRW exports so far has been below average and will need to accelerate to reach the current export forecast of 8.7 million tons (320 million bushels). As of November 29, HRW total commitments (accumulated exports plus outstanding sales) are down one-third compared to last year. Commitments to Mexico and Nigeria in particular are down from last year, but have begun to improve in recent weeks. This class has been the most heavily impacted by international competition this year as Russia’s robust pace of exports has left little demand for HRW outside of typical customers. However, Russia’s export pace is expected to slow in the coming months as exportable supplies taper off. This would provide an opportunity for HRW exports as this class of wheat fits a similar demand profile when it is priced competitively. HRW Closing the Price Gap with Russia Russia’s prices were very low at the time of its winter wheat harvest in July and August. At that time, Russia’s supplies were plentiful based on large carryin and the third-largest crop on record. Russia’s price advantage has greatly diminished since then as those supplies have become tighter amid an frenetic pace of exports. This improving price competitiveness for U.S. wheat, combined with the recent pick-up in export sales, is an indicator of a changing competitive dynamic.

*Note: At the end of the year, total commitments as reported in USDA’s Export Sales Reporting do not add up to 100 percent of total exports due to differences in data sources, sales that are delayed to the next marketing year, and inclusion of flour and products.

By-Class Summaries: Hard Red Spring Hard Red Spring (HRS) is the second largest class of U.S. wheat, typically accounting for about 25 percent of production. It is a high-protein, high-gluten wheat used in making rolls, bagels, and pizza crust. HRS is also used to improve protein content in flour blends. North Dakota is the leading producer of this class of wheat. HRS is a spring wheat variety, which means that it is planted during the spring and harvested in late summer. HRS is sought after for its quality characteristics and generally commands a price premium over other classes. Typically, the majority of HRS exports go to Asian markets such as the Philippines, Japan, and China. HRS Exports Expected to Rebound in 2018/19 U.S. HRS exports are expected to reach a robust 8.2 million tons (300 million bushels), up 31 percent from last year and above the 5-year average. Total commitments of this class as of November 29 are up 6 percent from last year. This year, HRS exports to China have dropped off completely based on the retaliatory duties placed on U.S. wheat. Exports to Latin America are down from last year based on strong competition from Canada in several key markets. However, demand has been strengthening in other countries such as the Philippines and Bangladesh. As Australian Crop Withers, Buyers Turn to the United States and Canada The primary competition for U.S. HRS exports to much of the Asia-Pacific region comes from Canada and Australia. Canada’s exports are forecast to reach 24.0 million tons, the second-highest on record. In addition to filling in for Australia’s diminished presence in the Asia region, Canada is in a prime position to fill in for reduced U.S. exports to China. Canada is the largest competitor for U.S. HRS with much of its exports being a similar type of high-protein spring wheat. It is atypical that U.S. HRS would have strong exports while Canada also has near-record shipments, but it is possible this year in light of strong Asian demand and weakened competition from Australia. Australia has much tighter supplies this year due to a severe drought, so buyers have had to turn to other suppliers to meet demand.

By-Class Summaries: Soft Red Winter Soft Red Winter (SRW) is the third-largest class of U.S. wheat production, often accounting for 15-20 percent of the total wheat crop. SRW is a high-yielding class used to produce cookies, crackers, cakes, and some bread products. SRW production is dispersed through several states along the eastern half of the United States. In recent years, most of the SRW crop has been used domestically. While generally less expensive than HRW, it is often still uncompetitive with EU and Black Sea wheat, while not commanding the quality premium that is seen for HRW. SRW Export Pace Picking Up SRW exports are forecast at 3.5 million tons (130 million bushels), up more than 40 percent from last year. Total commitments, however, are only up slightly from a year ago. Sales have been slow and steady throughout much of the year, but picked up in recent weeks based on successful bids in Egypt’s GASC tenders. At FOB prices, SRW is now selling at a discount to Black Sea wheat, which should allow for at least a small amount of exports to continue into North Africa in addition to sales to typical buyers such as Mexico. By-Class Summaries: White White wheat is the fourth largest class of U.S. wheat production, typically accounting for 10-15 percent of the total U.S. crop. There are a few types of white wheat, but the most common is a soft winter wheat used in Asian-style noodles and confectionary products. It is primarily grown in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Roughly two-thirds of the white wheat crop is destined for export, with most of those shipments going to Asian markets. White Wheat Exports Forecast at Highest Level in More Than 20 Years U.S. white wheat exports are forecast at 5.3 million tons (220 million bushels), up 14 percent from last year and the highest since 1996/97. However, sales to date are actually down from a year ago, mainly due to lost sales to China. Exports are expected to pick up in the coming months based on strong demand from Asian countries. Drought in Australia, the main competitor for U.S. wheat in the region, should push more demand to U.S. white wheat.

Record Pace of Russian Wheat Exports

Russia’s exports are projected down from last year’s record based on smaller exportable supplies. However, its export pace currently is actually stronger than last year. With massive supplies and a price advantage, Russian wheat has dominated the global market for several months. The forecast for Russia’s exports is raised this month to 36.5 million tons, but monthly shipments are still expected to slow as winter arrives and supplies become tighter. As this occurs, the U.S. export pace will likely pick up as its pricing becomes more competitive. Recognizing that large carryin stocks are a significant reason for the robust early pace of shipments, Russia’s 2017/18 feed and residual has been trimmed 1.0 million tons to 20.0 million and 2018/19 beginning stocks are boosted by the same amount.

OVERVIEW FOR 2018/19 Global rice production is raised as higher estimated production for Nigeria and Nepal is partially offset by lower production in Australia and Thailand. Global consumption and ending stocks are forecast higher, mainly due to changes in Nigeria. Trade is reduced on lower purchases by Indonesia and Nigeria.


MARKET FEATURES

Nigeria: A Significant Rice Importer Over the past several years, the Nigerian government has been promoting the concept of greater self-sufficiency in rice by supporting the local production and aiming to curtail foreign trade. Nigeria is the top rice producer in Africa. Recent public and private investments have resulted in the area expanding for the main season and dry-season crops, and yields have risen modestly. However, consumption has also been steadily expanding as well. The country has a high population growth rate and dietary patterns for the increasingly urban population shifting from traditional roots and tubers to include more grains such as rice. The government has imposed various measures, from increased tariffs to restrictions on the use of foreign exchange to limitations on transport across land borders, in an attempt to reduce the quantity imported. These have been effective to some extent, with the direct importation of rice into Nigerian ports down sharply. Meanwhile, less direct and more circuitous routes have augmented and sustained Nigeria’s imports. The skyrocketing imports of parboiled rice into ports of nearby countries – where parboiled rice is not traditionally consumed – has pointed to the increasing role of transshipments in Nigerian rice importation. Markets in major cities offer ample amounts of imported Thai and Indian parboiled rice, whereas locally-produced rice is more limited, given high internal transportation costs to move production from the north into the southern port cities. The USDA estimate for Nigeria’s 2018 imports is revised down based on updated trade data, and the forecast for 2019 imports is also adjusted lower this month. Nonetheless, year-to-year import growth is still anticipated as consumption continues to climb.

U.S. Market Share in CAFTA-DR Slips Amid South American Competition The Central American countries Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador, as well as the Dominican Republic, comprise a steadily growing rice market that is the scene of intense competition among Western Hemisphere suppliers. Over the past decade, consumption in the region has risen and yet domestic production has seen noteworthy gains, especially in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Honduras. As such, the imports for this region have experienced modest growth over the same period. The United States secured preferential access to these countries through the Central American-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) which entered into force in 2006 and 2007. The agreement involves diminishing tariffs and rising tariff-rate quotas (TRQs), however, to date not all of the TRQs are being filled consistently. Since CAFTA-DR implementation, the share of U.S. rice imported into the region has fallen. The nearly exclusive market share the United States once held has been eroded by two key players. First of all, the regional agreement has been successful in increasing trade among Central American countries and the Dominican Republic. Additionally, South American suppliers (especially Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina) have become more aggressive in meeting the high quality standards of this region.

Australian Rice Exports to Slump to Lowest Level in a Decade

Amid an exceptionally dry planting period, Australia producers severely reduced rice planted area. The crop is set to only produce just over 100,000 tons milled rice when it is harvested in early 2019. As a result, Australia is forecast to see exports plummet over 80 percent to 50,000 tons and will become a net importer for only the fifth time on record. Australia’s imports are largely Asian-supplied long-grain and are expected to edge up slightly and have a minor global market effect. However, this development will have a critical impact in the medium-grain market. Australia is typically a key supplier to Asia, Oceania, and the Mediterranean region. As traditional top exporter of medium -grain rice, the United States is likely to compensate for some of the Australian deficit. In addition, China has also begun to expand market share to medium-grain markets at very competitive prices.

Global: Corn prices have trended up since the previous WASDE on strong global demand. Argentina bids were up $5/ton to $167, and Brazil bids jumped $10/ton at $178 reflecting stronger domestic prices. Black Sea bids are unchanged at $166, despite strong European Union demand, reflecting ample new-crop supplies in the region. U.S. bids rose steadily by $5/ton to $170 on strong foreign demand.

OVERVIEW FOR 2018/19 Global corn production is up marginally this month as larger crops for the European Union and Ukraine more than offset reductions for Canada and South Africa. Global trade is larger, driven by greater imports for Canada, Colombia, Japan, and Vietnam. Exports are higher for Brazil and Ukraine. The U.S. season-average farm price is unchanged at $3.60 per bushel.


MARKET FEATURE

U.S. Corn Exports to East Asia Surge in 1st Quarter

According to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service Export Sales Reporting data, early-season shipments of corn to East Asia (Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan) have been exceptional, supporting a strong start to the marketing year. The latest information shows that accumulated shipments this marketing year have reached nearly 16 million tons, near-doubling that of a comparable time from a year ago. Among these exports, shipments to East Asian destinations account for almost 5 million tons, which is 30 percent of all exports from August to the end of November. In contrast, last year’s accumulated exports to East Asian buyers at Week 13 of MY2017/18 was 1.3 million tons. The main reason for this increase is the competitiveness of corn. First, the global availability of corn, boosted by record crops, has increased its overall competitiveness. Corn demand as feed, over other feed grains such as wheat and barley, has grown globally including East Asia. Second, unlike last year, U.S. corn is competitive compared to Brazil, which is a key supplier in East Asian markets. A smaller-than-expected corn crop, combined with logistical challenges stemming from soybean exports to China dominating ports, has made seasonal corn shipments from Brazil to key markets uncharacteristically slow. Third, on the domestic side, U.S. soybean exports from the Pacific Northwest to China have been minimal this year and are opening opportunities for corn exporters looking across the Pacific. Because of these factors, first quarter corn exports to East Asia are boosted nearly four times to what they were in 2017. Total commitments are ahead-of-pace with strong shipments. However, the pace of outstanding sales has been slower than a year ago, reflecting rebounding competition from South America, and record supplies in Ukraine. Regardless, a strong first quarter performance bodes well for U.S. corn exporters.

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) China (Oct/Sep) European Union (Jul/Jun) United States (Sep/Aug) China (Jul/Jun) South Africa (May/Apr) Russia (Jul/Jun) European Union (Jul/Jun) United States (Sep/Aug) Ukraine (Jul/Jun) India (Apr/Mar) United States (Jun/May) Kazakhstan (Jul/Jun) 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 http://www.fas.usda.gov/psdonline/psdAvailability.aspx 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 (Croatia plus the former EU-27) 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. Unaccounted: This term includes grain in transit, reporting discrepancies in some countries, and trade to countries outside the USDA database.
