Point to ponder: China accounts for nearly 20% of the world’s population but only 9% of the land, In Sept 2013 China signed a deal with the Ukraine for 3 million hectares of farm land for a 50 year lease, May, 2013 Chinese meat processor Shuanghui bought Smithfield Foods for $4.7 billion, by the end of the year China will begin digging a 180 mile canal across Nicaragua and has rights to operate and manage it for up to 100 years and today’s announcement that Chinese Cofco bought 51% of grain trader Nidera. The growing wealth in China is prompting an increase in demand for more food. This opens the door to many potential questions about exports/imports as we move further into a world economy.

Conclusions World production rose sharply in 2013 in
response to high prices and good weather. Stocks have risen.
Expect prices to decline from recent peaks, but to remain historically high• Global economic recovery and renewed growth in
demand for crops, animal products, and energy• Slower productivity growth• Continued low value of the dollar• Much slower growth in global biofuels output
World ag production prospects• In short-run: production can respond to higher
prices – if the weather cooperates. • Over next 10 years, global production growth is
projected to keep pace with population.
