Feed Barley’s Price Gap With Corn Shrinks Dramatically

World barley production in 2019/20 is projected to be the highest since 1994/1995. As a result, exportable supplies of barley are plentiful across the globe. USDA forecasts world exports of barley in 2019/20 at 28.0 million tons, a 9 percent increase over last year and the third-highest on record. The world’s major exporters of barley (Argentina, Australia, the European Union, Russia, and Ukraine) comprise 83 percent of this trade. As supply has expanded, barley is also seeing weaker global demand in the shorter term. Barley trade to both China and Saudi Arabia – the world’s top two importers – is down relative to the combined high of 18.1 million tons in 2014/15. Ample supply and flagging demand from major buyers have had a collective weakening effect on feed barley prices. The major barley exporters’ bids have been averaged and compared to average corn bids1 for analytical purposes in the chart above. In the past year, the price gap between barley and corn has narrowed from over $80/ton in September 2018 to nearly $20/ton by October 2019. Corn has seen its own price effects, driven by market uncertainty over U.S. crop size and weather premiums between May and August. The two grains nearly reached price parity in July but recovering market sentiments eased corn back down in the following months. In a world where exporters are seemingly fighting tooth and nail to get their corn into the hands of global customers, barley traders may continue to have difficulty finding alternative markets despite the increasing competitiveness and abundant availability of feed barley. 1 Export bids from Argentina, Brazil, Black Sea, and the United States were averaged.

WHEAT

WHEAT PRICES

Domestic: Prices for most classes of U.S. wheat rose during the month of October as harvest pressure abated. Rising corn and soy prices provided further support. Hard Red Winter (HRW) and Soft Red Winter (SRW) gained $6/ton and $9/ton respectively to $215 and $226. Soft White Winter (SWW) gained $3/ton to $231. On the other hand, Hard Red Spring (HRS) eased $5/ton to $272 but remains elevated partly due to lingering impacts of a multi-week, maintenance-related closure of part of the Pacific Northwest lock and dam system.

OVERVIEW FOR 2019/20 Global production is up slightly as larger crops for the European Union and Russia more than offset reductions for Argentina and Australia. Global trade is raised slightly with stronger demand from Turkey. Higher exports for the European Union, Russia, and Ukraine more than offset smaller projected shipments for Argentina and Australia. The projected U.S. season-average farm price is lowered $0.10 per bushel to $4.60.

Global: Overall, exporter prices were mixed during the month of October. EU, Black Sea, and U.S. prices recovered from early season harvest pressure, supported by strong international demand. Black Sea prices were further underpinned by a slow pace of farmer selling in Russia. Canada’s prices eased with harvest pressure but remain somewhat elevated based on weather-related delays. Australia prices were relatively unchanged but remain uncompetitive in light of a smaller crop. Conversely, Argentina’s prices plummeted as it approaches the bulk of its harvest.

FEATURES U.S. Wheat Exports Off to a Faster Start Than Last Year2

U.S. exports are off to a faster start than the previous year based on improved competitiveness with other international suppliers. Last year, Russia’s exports got off to a booming start, which left U.S. wheat struggling to reach beyond its core markets. This year, on the other hand, U.S. wheat has been relatively price competitive in the early months of the June/May marketing year. As a result, U.S. total commitments (the sum of accumulated exports and outstanding sales) are up 11 percent from the same point last year. Growing global demand and relatively tight competitor supplies are major factors influencing U.S. competitiveness this year. Russia’s prices are less competitive this year based on lower total supplies. Even though its crop is larger, Russia’s carryin supplies are much tighter than a year ago and farmer selling is reported to be relatively slow. Tight nearby supplies in Argentina and Australia also contributed to the competitiveness of U.S. exports. The pace of U.S. shipments could be even faster if not for the robust exports of the European Union and Ukraine. It is worth noting, however, that U.S. exports did recover in the latter half of 2018/19 with improved price competitiveness as Russia’s supplies began to tighten. This year, however, U.S. wheat exports are not expected to see such a strong finish because Russia’s shipments are likely to be more sustained throughout the year. Additionally, Argentina’s exports are likely to surge in the coming months as it harvests what is still expected to be a record crop. The opening of Brazil’s 750,000-ton Tariff-Rate-Quota (TRQ) for non-Mercosur wheat is a bullish factor for U.S. wheat exports, but Canada and Russia are likely to capture a share of that business.

2 Accumulated exports and outstanding sales are based on USDA’s Export Sales Database. Dates of comparison are 10/24/2019, 10/25/2018, and 10/26/2017.

Kazakhstan’s Wheat Exports Projected at Lowest Level in More Than a Decade

Kazakhstan is typically the world’s eighth-largest exporter of wheat and wheat products, averaging over 7 million tons annually, mainly to its southern neighboring countries. Although generally lower yielding, the soft/semi-hard spring wheat produced is desired for its high protein levels and gluten content. It is ideal for making flatbread. Exports of durum, mainly shipped to Italy, Russia, and Turkey, represent less than 10 percent of Kazakhstan’s total wheat exports. Milling is also a large part of the Kazakh market as about half of the flour milled is exported. Uzbekistan is Kazakhstan’s largest market, accounting for nearly a third of its total wheat and wheat product exports. Afghanistan is Kazakhstan’s second largest market overall and represents more than half of its flour exports. Tajikistan is a growing market for Kazakh wheat grain exports. To the east, China’s highly populous, developing economy has also become a major growth market for Kazakh wheat. Despite its presence as a major global exporter, Kazakhstan faces many obstacles, such as logistics, tariffs, and competition. As a landlocked country, shipping to non-contiguous countries such as Tajikistan and Afghanistan proves challenging as it must be transported via rail through Uzbekistan, facing duties in both the transit country and the importing country. Similarly, shipments to Europe must transit through Russia. Furthermore, Uzbekistan has been growing its milling industry with the ability to produce flour at a fraction of the cost, rendering Kazakh flour less competitive in the region. The industry also faces TRQs and non-tariff barriers, particularly in exporting to China. Over the last several years, Kazakhstan’s wheat area has trended lower as producers have diversified into other crops. This year specifically, weather has been an obstacle to Kazakhstan’s production and exports. Severe drought and late-season rain have negatively affected the harvest. Hence, Kazakhstan is projected to slip to be the world’s ninth leading wheat exporter this year, falling behind Turkey for the first time in more than 20 years. At 5.2 million tons, Kazakhstan’s projected exports (July/June basis) are the lowest since 2005/06.

RICE

RICE PRICES Global: Since the October WASDE release, Thai 100B quotes are unchanged at $407/ton. Viet prices remain low but are increased over last month’s quotes to $348/ton. Meanwhile, Indian quotes are down to $362/ton, just below the steady $370/ton for Pakistan. In contrast, U.S. values have increased to $560/ton, and Uruguay quotes remain stable at $528/ton.

OVERVIEW FOR 2019/20 Global rice production is nearly unchanged this month, as a larger Indian crop is fully offset by smaller harvests for Indonesia and the Philippines. Global trade is lowered, with reduced imports for China and Nigeria more than offsetting higher imports for Indonesia, and lower exports for Thailand and Burma more than offsetting higher India and Vietnam exports. Global stocks are raised marginally to a new record. OVERVIEW FOR 2018/19 Global rice production remains at a record, with minimal changes this month. Global trade is down significantly with lower imports for Bangladesh, China, and Nigeria, and lower exports for India and Thailand. Vietnam’s exports are slightly higher.

MARKET FEATURE U.S. Rough Rice Exports to Mexico Rebound in 2019 Rough rice, also known as paddy rice or rice in husk (HS Code 100610), is very thinly traded. With 2.7 million tons of exports in 2018, it comprises about 6 percent of all global rice trade and is dominated by just a few suppliers. The United States is the top exporter of rough rice, followed by Brazil, India, and Paraguay. Rough rice is typically traded across borders or between nearby countries since rice in husk form presents increased phytosanitary risks. As it requires additional processing, paddy rice is favored by some importers because it is lower-priced and supports domestic milling industries.

Mexico is the top export market for U.S. rice and almost 90 percent of those imports are rough rice. While the United States also ships rough rice elsewhere in Latin America and to Libya, Mexico had historically been the largest and most reliable customer. Even as total U.S. market share had declined in recent years from virtually 100 percent in 2010 to about 70 percent in 2018, rough rice exports had remained fairly constant until last year when rough rice from Guyana and Paraguay displaced the United States, and Mexico imported less rice overall. However, U.S. rough rice exports to Mexico are up 34 percent from a year ago, reaching 531,000 tons. At the same time, Guyana and Paraguay rough

rice exports to Mexico have virtually disappeared, at least for now. Brazil has also abruptly dropped out of the rough rice trade. Its exports have plummeted 75 percent to only 145,000 tons, mostly on significantly reduced shipments to Venezuela. However, as trade talks have begun between Mexico and Brazil, U.S. dominance in the Mexican rough rice market could once again face competition.

COARSE GRAINS

CORN PRICES

Global: Since the October WASDE, major exporters’ bids (aside from Argentina) are little changed. U.S. bids have grown $6/ton to $174 reflecting continued supply uncertainty from harvest weather. Argentine bids are up $13/ton to $165 on speculation about potential policy changes under the newly elected government. Brazilian bids are up $4/ton to $172 supported by strong foreign demand. Black Sea bids hopped $2/ton to $166.

OVERVIEW FOR 2019/20 Global corn production is forecast down slightly with smaller crops for Mexico, Ukraine, and the United States more than offsetting gains for several African countries, Russia, and Turkey. Global trade is up from last month with higher imports for Colombia, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. Exports for Brazil and Russia are up, but down for the United States this month on slow early season sales and shipments. The U.S. season-average farm price is up $0.05 to $3.85 per bushel.

MARKET FEATURE China’s Exports for Corn Starch and Starch Residues are Robust

China has again become a leading exporter of corn starch. The growth has coincided with its policy changes – the removal of support prices and adoption of measures to boost corn use. China has ample wet-milling5 capacity established years ago when the government singled out corn processing as a key industry and stressed developments of value-added supply chains. Supports from the central and provincial governments in the form of discounted sales, subsidies on transportation, and VAT refunds have encouraged processing of corn. Likewise, exports of starch residues6 have also grown, and China has become the second-largest supplier after the United States. Corn starch is widely used for food manufacturing, textiles, and numerous industrial purposes. Residues of starch have relatively high protein contents, thus are used as a protein source in feed rations as well as in pet foods. Major destinations for China’s exports have been neighboring countries. For corn starch, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam have been the leading markets. For residues of starch, virtually all exports have been destined to just three countries - South Korea, Vietnam, and Japan. China’s corn exports have not been competitive over a decade because domestic prices have remained higher than world levels. However, China is well positioned for exports of the high-value corn-based products with surplus corn, ample processing capacity, supportive policies, and nearby markets that have growing demand.

5 The wet-milling process is primarily to extract starch by separating the corn kernel into the germ, the hull (bran), the gluten, and the starch. Starch comprises about 60-70 percent of a dry corn kernel. 6 HS 230310, residues of starch, which include corn gluten meal, corn gluten feed, and other residues.

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 (2016/17 starts in 2016); except for summer grains in certain Southern Hemisphere countries and for rice in selected countries, where the second year begins the LMY (2016/17 starts in 2017). 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 (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.
