7China’s Barley Imports

China’s barley imports are boosted to a record 6.0 million tons this month, propelling world trade to the second highest level after last year’s record. China is traditionally the world’s largest malting barley importer; however, starting last year, imports of barley for feed use surged. This comes as China’s appetite for imported coarse grains has grown more than 25 percent year to year, to nearly 16 million tons. China also remains an important market for distillers dried grains with solubles (see November 2014 Grain: World Markets and Trade).

At the same time, Saudi Arabia, the largest barley importer at 6.5 million tons, has made changes to its subsidy policy in order to diversify its feedstuffs imports and to lessen its reliance on barley. As a result, this month barley imports are lowered (500,000 tons) and corn boosted (600,000 tons).

The EU, with its barley exports forecast the highest in 15 years, stands to gain the most this year from China’s growing demand. This comes after 2 years of good EU crops and as barley and other feed grain prices have fallen following 2 consecutive years of record world corn production.

WHEAT: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE

OVERVIEW Global production for 2014/15 is down slightly from last month but still projected at a record. Global trade is nearly unchanged with higher EU exports offsetting a drop in Argentina. The U.S. season-average farm price is unchanged.

EU Surpasses the United States as Largest Wheat Exporter Once Again

The EU first overtook the United States as the world’s top wheat exporter in 2013/14 and the gap is projected to widen in 2014/15. The EU has a record crop and is the world’s most competitive supplier. French wheat has been priced below Black Sea for much of the season, due in part to lower-than-average quality. Although Russia and Ukraine shipped at a record pace during the first half of the marketing year, trade is expected to plunge on Russia’s export duty and Ukraine’s voluntary export limits. Despite Russia’s waning presence in the market, the United States is unlikely to fill the gap due to uncompetitive prices and a strengthening dollar.

U.S. PRICES:

Domestic: Export prices for most wheat classes rose slightly in February. Hard Red Spring (HRS) prices jumped $20 to $289/ton and Soft White Winter (SWW) rose $15 to $254/ton, both on strong demand and the fast pace of shipments in recent weeks. Hard Red Winter (HRW) ended the month unchanged at $246/ton but spiked mid-month due to concerns about frigid weather affecting crops in parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Soft Red Winter (SRW) prices were up $2 to $234/ton. TRADE CHANGES IN 2014/15 Selected Exporters

Argentina is cut 500,000 tons to 5.5 million as the government slowly issues export licenses.

EU is boosted 500,000 tons to 31.5 million on recent sales to Algeria, Egypt, and Morocco.

EU Expands Rice Importsfrom Burma and CambodiaMMT

RICE: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE

OVERVIEW

Global production for 2014/15 is revised slightly higher from last month as larger crops for India and Sri Lanka more than offset a reduction in Thailand. Global trade is up driven by stronger demand from China, EU, and Saudi Arabia. Global consumption remains strong, and stocks are lowered. U.S. exports are up slightly.

EU rice imports set a new record in 2014, with sharp increases from Burma and Cambodia. Rice from these two countries nearly doubled from a year earlier and accounted for more than a quarter of total imports. In comparison, purchases from traditional suppliers – Thailand, Pakistan, and India – remained largely stable. Under the Everything-But-Arms arrangement, implemented in September 2009, the EU allows eligible Least Developed Countries duty-free and quota-free access for all types of rice, though only Burma and Cambodia export substantial quantities. With growing supplies, improved logistics, and preferential access, the two countries are expected to capture a significant share of the EU rice market for the foreseeable future.

COARSE GRAINS: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE

OVERVIEW

World corn production is lowered as South Africa’s crop is cut because of dryness and heat,

more than offsetting improved prospects in Argentina. Trade is boosted slightly on stronger

demand, primarily from Saudi Arabia as it substitutes corn for barley. Argentine and U.S. corn

exports are raised and South Africa’s are halved. The U.S. season-average farm price for corn

is raised slightly.

PRICES

Since the release of the February WASDE report, U.S. corn quotes declined only slightly to

$178/ton. Argentine quotes have dropped nearly $10 to $171/ton on improved new-crop

prospects. Black Sea quotes fell slightly and remain about $10/ton below U.S. prices. Brazilian

quotes were not available as shipments are expected to drop off seasonally with the start of

soybean exports.

TRADE CHANGES IN 2014/15

Selected Exporters

U.S. corn is boosted 1.0 million tons to 45.5 million on recent strong sales and shipments

and a longer-than-expected window of competitiveness compared with Brazil and Argentina.

Argentine corn is raised 1.0 million tons to 14.5 million on a larger crop.

16

South African corn is halved to 1.0 million tons because of a sharply lower crop and

carryin. (Consumption is revised upward from 2005/06-2009/10 resulting in lower stock

levels for subsequent years).

Australian barley is boosted 500,000 tons to 5.0 million on larger supplies and stronger

demand from China.

EU barley is up 800,000 tons to 7.5 million, the highest level in 15 years, on a robust license

pace and stronger demand from China.

Selected Importers

Israeli corn is raised 200,000 tons to 1.7 million as competitively priced corn is expected to

replace wheat in feed rations.

Saudi corn is boosted 600,000 tons to 3.5 million on higher compound feed production

bolstered by strong demand from the poultry sector. Barley is cut 500,000 tons to 6.5

million on abundant supplies and on policies that promote imports of alternative feedstuffs.

Chinese barley is up sharply by 1.5 million tons to a record 6.0 million on strong demand

for feedstuffs.

Iranian barley is raised 300,000 tons to 1.5 million as indicated by trade data.

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 (2014/15 starts in 2014); except for summer grains in certain Southern Hemisphere countries and for rice in selected countries, where the second year begins the LMY (2014/15 starts in 2015). Key exporter LMY’s are:

Wheat Corn Barley SorghumArgentina (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.
