Australia Frontloads Wheat Exports
For email subscription, click here to register: https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDAFAS/subscriber/new
On the heels of a record crop last
year, Australia continues to move
old-crop supplies in the first quarter
of 2017/18 trade year (July-June).
Therefore, Australia wheat exports
are forecast to remain comparatively
high at 20.0 million tons, despite a
smaller production forecast. Even
so, Australia is still expected to have
ample old-crop supplies when the
bulk of its new harvest enters the
market around December. The
majority of Australia’s exports are
destined for Asia, which continues to
have strong demand for high-quality
wheat.
During the second half of the trade
year, some regional demand may be
filled by Black Sea supplies, which
will be substantially more abundant
and competitively priced. For
example, as those large crops enter
the market, Australia’s dominant
share in Indonesia, the second largest
global wheat importer, may be
threatened. Indonesia prefers
Australian wheat, but will purchase
Black Sea wheat when there is a
large spread in price.

WHEAT: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE
OVERVIEW
For 2017/18, global production is up this month as larger crops are expected for Canada, the
European Union, India, Morocco, Russia, and Turkey. Global trade is forecast nearly unchanged
from last month, but remains a record. Imports are forecast down for India and Turkey, but
higher for Iraq. Exports are projected up for Argentina and Canada, offsetting a reduction for
Australia. U.S. trade is unchanged this month. Global ending stocks, already forecast at a record,
are further raised this month. The season-average farm price is unchanged at $4.60 per bushel.
PRICES
Domestic: Overall, wheat prices were up in September, largely on concerns over dry conditions
in some competing countries, especially Australia. Prices fell back slightly at the end of the
month in response to NASS reports which indicated a larger-than-expected spring wheat crop as
well as higher-than-anticipated stocks. Hard Red Winter (HRW) and Soft Red Spring (SRW)
were both up $16/ton to $202 and $180, respectively. While Soft Winter White (SWW)
improved $5/ton to $201 and Hard Red Spring (HRS) increased $4/ton to $277.

FEATURE
Global Wheat Trade Skyrockets in 10 Years
Global trade in 2017/18 is forecast at a record, having grown by nearly 60 percent over the last
decade. Growing import demand in Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East
accounts for the majority of the growth in global trade. In Southeast Asia, import demand has
climbed with rising populations and a change in consumer preference from rice to wheat-based
products. Additionally, wheat is commonly used in feed rations, especially for aquaculture. In
Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, consumer demand for wheat-based products is
expanding based on rapidly growing urban populations. Given agronomic and climatic
conditions in those regions, production has not kept pace with consumption growth and imports
have filled the gap.
Larger production in exporting countries has also contributed to the rising tide of wheat trade.
Among major exporters, the European Union, Russia, and Ukraine have seen the most significant
growth in production, spurred by both larger planted areas and higher yields. Consumption in
those countries has grown at a much slower rate, leaving substantially larger exportable supplies.
Further, these suppliers benefit from freight and logistical advantages in reaching many growth
markets in Africa and the Middle East. With competitive prices, Ukraine has greatly expanded
shipments to Asia as well. The combined market share for these three suppliers has nearly
doubled during this period, with the European Union and Russia forecast to surpass the United
States in total export volume this year.

RICE: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE
OVERVIEW
For 2017/18, global production is raised this month to the second highest on record as larger
crops in Nigeria and Egypt more than offset reductions in Bangladesh and Brazil. Consumption
is lowered as multi-year downward revisions for China exceed upward revisions for Nigeria.
With lower consumption, global stocks are raised to the highest level since 2000/01. Global
trade is nearly unchanged this month, as larger imports by Bangladesh and Nigeria nearly offset
reductions for the Philippines and Ghana.
PRICES
Export quotes for the top Asian suppliers remained relatively flat over the past month, down
from the pre-harvest peaks. The narrow spread between Asian exporters reflects strong
competition for the ongoing Bangladeshi tenders. Thai and Indian quotes have converged
around $405/ton, while Vietnamese quotes are at $390/ton and Pakistani quotes are slightly
below these at $385/ton. Meanwhile, the U.S. quote has risen to $560/ton, largely on the smaller
U.S. crop.

REVISION OF CHINESE STOCKS AND CONSUMPTION SERIES
Estimates for Chinese rice consumption and stocks have been revised this month (from 2010/11
to present) to more closely reflect current dynamics in the market. China’s government does not
publish estimates of rice stocks. Therefore, estimates of consumption and stocks are based on
assumptions regarding the trends in the market, supported by facts regarding government
procurement and auctions of the state reserves.
USDA estimates of consumption include all uses for rice. In the case of China, this primarily
includes food use, but also feed, industrial, seed, waste, and loss. Chinese depend not only on
rice but also on wheat and to a lesser extent on corn for their grain intake. In addition, with
rising incomes, animal protein consumption has been rising. Rice is a relatively expensive
feedstuff and has become more so in the context of more abundant corn in recent years. Seed
use has remained relatively stable.
In total, rice consumption is currently estimated as stable around 103 kg per person over the past
5 years, revised down from 104-106 kg/person in last month’s data. This compares to 74
kg/person for wheat food, seed, and industrial (FSI) use. Chinese rice per capita consumption
remains above other East Asian countries such as Japan (67 kg), South Korea (94 kg), and
Taiwan (48 kg).
Current Chinese government policy has been to encourage the production of rice by maintaining
relatively high procurement prices. Though the procurement price has declined slightly this
year, selling to government reserves remains an attractive option for producers. The policy has
led to a rapid accumulation of stocks. Government purchases for the state reserve have averaged
over 30 million tons of paddy per year since 2013. The 2017/18 procurement is ongoing, so the
total acquired this year for state reserves is not yet known.

The procurement by the government has only been partially offset by the release of the acquired
stocks. Auctions of those reserves have been ongoing, but typically only a small percentage of
what has been offered has been sold. In multiple auctions during 2016, half a million tons were
offered at auction but nothing was sold.
However, the dynamics have begun to change in 2017, with more than 10 percent sold from what
has been offered. Auctions are now being held twice a week. Since the beginning of the
Chinese marketing year in July 2017, nearly 5 million tons of paddy has been sold at prices
ranging $300 to $470/mt. Recent auctions confirm that rice even from the 2013 crop is still held
in the state reserves in large quantities. The quality of rice in large government-held stocks is
unknown.
China’s challenge of large stocks is not unique to rice. Similarly, China wheat stocks are
currently seen to be exceptionally large, set to exceed annual use this year. Corn stocks hit a
peak in 2015/16, but have since been in decline after the government removed the minimum
purchase price. Likewise, this is not the first time that the country has struggled with enormous
quantities of rice. A similar and even larger amount was held in the late 1990s.
The updated consumption and stocks statistics imply a 61 percent stocks-to-use ratio within
China at the end of 2016/17 and the is expected to rise to 65 percent by the end of 2017/18.

Selected Trade Changes for 2018
Burma exports are raised 100,000 tons to 2.1 million on expectations of stronger demand
for competitively priced rice in bordering countries.
Bangladesh imports are up 200,000 tons to 1.2 million on a smaller crop. Production is
now forecast at the lowest since 2010/11.
Ghana imports are down 125,000 tons to 550,000 on a larger crop.
Nigeria imports are lifted 200,000 tons to 2.3 million tons on prospects of continued
consumption growth in line with prior years.
Philippines imports are trimmed 100,000 tons to 1.7 million based on limitations set by
the government on import arrival times.
Selected Trade Changes for 2017
Bangladesh imports are up 100,000 tons to 1.1 million, reflecting continued tenders for
emergency purchases.
Ghana imports are lowered 150,000 tons to 500,000 on the pace of trade.
Nigeria imports are up 200,000 tons to 2.4 million on greater demand for parboiled rice
within urban centers.
Philippines imports are cut 500,000 tons to 1.1 million based on government
announcements that the Minimum Access Volume imports will be allowed beginning in
late December.

COARSE GRAINS: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE
OVERVIEW
For 2017/18, global corn production is up with a significant boost from the United States and
Nigeria that more than offsets lower prospects for Russia and Ukraine. Major revisions and
updates are made for many African countries this month. Global corn trade is revised downward
with lower projected imports in Vietnam and Turkey. Prospects for slower growth in Vietnam’s
feed industry and higher domestic production in Turkey are the key reasons for the projected
decrease in trade. The U.S. season-average farm price is unchanged at $3.20 per bushel.
PRICES
Global corn prices were mostly unchanged from last month’s WASDE. Argentine and Black
Sea bids fell $2/ton and $3/ton, settling at $149 and $161, respectively. Prices in Argentina
settled lower amid a sluggish pace of new-crop shipments, compeitition from Brazil, and
anticipated new-crop U.S. supplies. Brazilian bids were unchanged at $155/ton with steady
global demand amidst record exports since May. U.S. quotes were up $4/ton to $159 on steady
domestic demand, lack of early harvest supplies, and sharply higher barge rates.

South Korea: Corn Faces Competition in the Feed Market
*indicates prorated based on Oct-Aug data
**NGFI includes DDGS, Cassava, Corn Gluten Feed, and Corn Gluten Meal
South Korea is a price sensitive market for feed grains, basing its buying decisions on the price
competitiveness of alternative feeds. South Korea is also one of the world’s largest importers of
corn, driven by a consistently robust demand for feed for its poultry and swine industries.
However, South Korea’s corn imports have declined after reaching a record high in 2013/14.
U.S. market share also fell due to heavy competition from Black Sea and South American
exporters. Even with a CY 2017 tariff-rate quota (TRQ) that allows for 10 million tons of duty-
free feed corn imports, South Korea’s 2016/17 estimate is down this month due to higher usage
of other feedstuffs.
This trend is largely attributed to stiff competition from competitively-priced feed quality wheat
and the use of domestic rice. The government recently approved 500,000 tons of domestic rice
stocks to be used for feed in 2017, about five times more than the previous year. A nearly
fivefold growth in the import of distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) over the past 10
years have also factored into the recent decline. Although South Korea has increased its usage of
other substitutes, corn still makes up the majority of feed consumption and 2017/18 imports are
expected up over the previous year to 10.2 million tons. Historically low corn prices are expected
to drive demand in this price-sensitive market amid record global corn trade.

TRADE CHANGES IN 2017/18
Selected Exporters
Argentina corn is slashed 1.0 million tons to 27.0 million on expectations of lower global
demand and competition from other major exporters.
Mexico corn is boosted 600,000 tons to 1.3 million on expectations of stronger demand
for non-GM white corn, particularly in African countries.
Russia corn is cut 500,000 tons to 5.5 million on lower expected production.
Ukraine corn is down 500,000 tons to 21.5 million on lower production.
Selected Importers
Vietnam corn is slashed 1.0 million to 9.5 million on expectations for slower-than-
expected growth in feed demand.
Turkey corn is down 500,000 tons to 1.0 million, offset by a larger crop.
Jordan corn is up 300,000 tons to 1.0 million based on expectations for greater feed use.
Mozambique corn is cut 200,000 tons to 300,000 on higher expected production.
China barley is boosted 1.0 million tons to 5.5 million and sorghum is raised 550,000
tons to 5.0 million, both on the expectation of higher demand for feed grains in the
absence of imported distillers’ dried grains and on favorable import margins in grain
deficit regions.
Saudi Arabia barley is cut 1.0 million tons to 9.0 million reflecting stronger demand for
China from relatively tight global exportable supplies.
Mexico sorghum is down 300,000 tons to 200,000 on greater use of domestic corn.

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.

Soybean Trade Growth: A Story of Brazil, the United States, and China
Over the past 2 years, global soybean exports have risen 20 million tons, supplied exclusively
from Brazil and the United States. This pattern of export growth reflects the dominance of both
countries in production and trade as well as the buying patterns in China which accounts for
nearly two-thirds of global soybean trade.
The share of export growth captured by Brazil and the United States varies from year to year
depending on relative prices and the quantity of exportable supplies. Over the past 5 years,
Brazil has captured a greater share of global export growth, 49 percent versus 40 percent for the
United States. This trend reflects Brazil’s larger production growth and smaller domestic market
for soybean products. On the demand side, China remains the driver in soybean trade based
entirely on the magnitude of its consumption. With that said, growth in demand in markets
outside China and the EU have also been strong on a percentage basis. Increased supplies of
rapeseed, sunflowerseed, and grains in the EU have slowed the demand for imported soybeans in
recent years.
Over the next year, USDA’s forecast calls for global soybean demand to continue expanding,
with imports rising 5 million tons to nearly 149 million tons. While emerging markets such as
Egypt, Pakistan, and Vietnam are forecast to have strong growth in their imports, China is still
forecast to account for more than half of the increase in demand, albeit at a slower growth rate.
Given the recent trend in exports, it is likely that this increase in global demand will be split
between the United States and Brazil, with export shares dependent upon relative availability of
supplies in each country.

OVERVIEW 2017/18 Global oilseed production is forecast lower this month at 577 million tons. Reduced soybean and sunflowerseed production primarily in Russia and Ukraine, and lower rapeseed production in the United States, offset higher global cottonseed and peanut production. Cottonseed crop prospects are higher for Argentina and Brazil, offset by a reduction in the United States, while the peanut production estimate is raised for China. Global soybean imports are down slightly this month on reductions for the European Union that surpass gains in Pakistan. Exports are down due to a lower Ukraine soybean export forecast, and lower projections of Russia and Ukraine sunflowerseed exports. Global soybean ending stocks are lowered this month as strong export demand in 2016/17 reduces 2017/18 carryin. The U.S. season-average farm price for soybeans is unchanged at $9.20 per bushel. 2016/17 Global oilseed production is raised this month as higher sunflowerseed output in Ukraine more than offsets lower in global soybean and peanut production. Global soybean imports are raised this month on larger shipments to China, Argentina, Pakistan, and Russia, exceeding reductions in the European Union. Exports are estimated higher this month on larger shipments from Brazil and Argentina. Final trade data shows U.S. soybean exports to be a record. The U.S. season-average farm price for soybeans is finalized at $9.47 per bushel. SOYBEAN PRICES U.S. export bids in September, FOB Gulf, averaged $379/ton, up $7 from the previous month. In comparison, FOB Brazil Paranagua and FOB Argentina Up River averaged $384/ton and $378/ton, up $6 and $11 from last month, respectively. Following strong global import demand as well as early season weather issues in South America, prices have trended higher in September. However, harvest pressure and farmer selling have helped pressure prices lower into early October. For the week ending September 28, U.S. 2017/18 soybean export commitments (outstanding sales plus accumulated exports) to China totaled 10.7 million tons compared to 12.6 million a year ago. Total commitments to the world are 23.3 million tons, compared to 28.3 million for the same period last year.

Bangladesh Rice: Heavy Rains Continue to Decrease Production Estimates
USDA estimates 2017/18 Bangladesh rice production at 33.0 million metric tons (milled basis), down 1 percent from last month, and down 5 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 4.38 metric tons per hectare, down slightly from last year. Harvested area is estimated at 11.3 million hectares, down nearly 2 percent from last month and down 4 percent from last year. The area decrease is attributed to monsoonal rains since June that caused flooding across the major rice areas of Dhaka and Rajshahi. The excessive rains impacted the Aus and Aman crops, which account for roughly 50 percent of the total rice crop. In 2015 excessive rains occurred as well, but earlier in August and in different areas of the country.

Heavy rains have persisted since May and cumulative rainfall is 78 percent higher than the long-term average for the country. The Bangladesh Department of Disaster reported that 600,000 hectares have been flooded in over 32 districts. They have also reported that several areas have been impacted by landslides in the major rice areas. Although the government has provided financial incentives to replant, farmers say it’s too late to plant rice this season. The monsoon is beginning to retreat and is forecast to end in mid-October. Daily rainfall is beginning to return to the long-term normal.
Rice is grown throughout the year. The growing seasons are comprised of the Boro which is the largest crop that accounts for about 50 percent of production, followed by the Aus and Aman crop. (For more information, please contact Arnella.Trent@fas.usda.gov) China Corn: Record Yield Estimated
USDA estimates China’s 2017/18 corn production at 215.0 million metric tons (mmt), unchanged from last month, down 4.55 mmt or 2 percent from last year. Projected area of 35 million hectares is unchanged from last month but down 5 percent from last year. Area has shown a downward trend in recent years, particularly in the Northeast, as reductions in government support for corn has increased profitability for alternative crops such as soybeans. Yield is forecast at a record 6.14 tons per hectare, unchanged from last month, and up 3 percent from last year. Despite unseasonably warm and localized dry weather during April through June, satellite data indicated favorable soil moisture conditions across the major corn-producing provinces in northeast China and the North China Plain. Abnormally dry conditions may have slowed planting and early crop development in some regions including Henan (9 percent of total corn production), Liaoning (7 percent), Hebei (8 percent), Inner Mongolia (9 percent), as well as parts
Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA October 2017Office of Global Analysis

of Jilin (13 percent), and Shandong (10 percent). Timely rainfall, however, during reproduction improved conditions and re-enforced record yield estimates. In September, analysts from the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service conducted crop assessment travel in Liaoning, Shandong, and Anhui provinces when the crop was at physiological maturity and ready to be harvested. The crop conditions were favorable across the region with above-average yield expectations. Farmers indicated that harvest is expected to be completed by mid-October in time for wheat planting. Last year’s poor corn prices resulted in a significant area shift from corn to soybean across the major corn regions. (For more information, please contact Dath.Mita@fas.usda.gov) EU Corn: Offsetting Production Changes
Total corn production in the European Union (EU) is estimated at 59.4 million metric (mmt) tons, unchanged from last month, but 1.7 mmt or 3 percent down from last year and 7 percent down from the 5-year average. Yield remains unchanged from last month at 6.90 tons per hectare, down 3 percent from last year, but up 1 percent from the 5-year average. Area is unchanged at 8.6 million hectares, down slightly from last year and 0.8 million below the 5-year average. Off-setting production changes were made to two of the top EU corn producers: France and Italy. The crop in France experienced beneficial
late-season weather, including favorable precipitation and moderate temperatures which boosted yield estimates. Due to these improved conditions, the production estimate for France was raised 0.4 mmt to 13.6 mmt. The harvest in France has recently just begun and was at 15 percent complete on October 2, according to the farm office FranceAgriMer. Meanwhile, the effects of high temperatures and dryness in central Europe during the summer months have further reduced yields in Italy. Production is estimated at 5.8 mmt, down 0.4 million from last month and 21

percent below the five-year average. Corn area in Italy has been declining for the past five-years as area is being replaced with soybeans. The two other top corn producers within the EU are Romania and Hungary. The crop in Romania benefited from favorable rainfall in its main southern growing region and production continues to be estimated above average. Hungary has struggled with drought and heat and its production continues to be estimated below average. Production estimates remain unchanged this month in both countries at 10.0 mmt and 6.7 mmt, respectively. Without widespread irrigation they are highly dependent on rainfall and often have large production swings based on weather fluctuations. Other EU countries such as France, Italy, and Spain have significant irrigation networks, which mitigate adverse weather and typically provide more stable yields. (For more information, please contact Bryan.Purcell@fas.usda.gov) Turkey Corn: Record Yield USDA estimates Turkey corn production for 2017/18 at 6.0 million metric tons (mmt), up 0.5 mmt or 9 percent from last month, now up 0.5 mmt or 9 percent from last year. The area is estimated at 0.6 million hectares (mha), up 0.1 mha from last month and last year. The yield forecast of 10.00 tons per hectare is at a record level. Precipitation has been very favorable during the planting and development months. Excellent spring rains led to rapid plant growth and a strong satellite vegetation signal (normalized difference vegetation index, or NDVI), which is an indication of an abundant crop biomass. Similarly, satellite NDVI analysis suggests that high summer temperatures during tasseling have not been detrimental to crop growth. The corn crop this year is just below the record set in 2015/16 of 6.2 mmt. Harvest began in September and continues until the end of October. (For more information, please contact William.Baker@fas.usda.gov) Mexico Corn: Estimated Production Increased USDA estimates Mexico corn production for 2017/18 at 26.2 million metric tons, up about one percent from last month, but still down 5 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 3.61 tons per hectare, down 2 percent from last year. Area harvested is estimated at 7.25 million hectares, up about one percent from last month, but down 3 percent from last year. The year-to-year decrease in area harvested is primarily due to farmers reverting back to planting sorghum. Last year more corn was planted due to the prevalence of the sugar cane aphid affecting sorghum.

Mexico has two seasons for corn production: the spring/summer (main season) is planted in April through August and harvested in September through February. The fall/winter season is planted in October through February and harvested in March through July. Planting and crop establishment for the spring/summer cycle in the main corn-producing regions had beneficial rainfall. As the harvest began, the most recent harvest data from the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (SAGARPA) on August 30, 2017 indicate the abandonment rate is down approximately 50 percent from average (2012-2015). The reduction in the abandonment rate is attributed to the continued favorable rainfall throughout the 2017/18 growing season. Similar conditions were seen last year when the abandonment rate for corn was at its lowest in the past two decades. (For more information, please contact Justin.Jenkins@fas.usda.gov) Australia Winter Crops: Lower Forecast for Wheat and Rapeseed Production Australia’s 2017/18 wheat production is estimated at 21.5 million metric tons (mmt), down 1.0 mmt or 4 percent from last month, and down 12.0 mmt or 36 percent from last year. Area is estimated at 12.5 million hectares (mha), unchanged from last month, up 0.1 million or 1 percent from last year. The yield estimate of 1.72 tons per hectare (t/ha) is the second lowest in the past ten seasons. The two lowest yields occurred in the severe drought years of 2002/03 and 2006/07.

Australia’s 2017/18 rapeseed production is estimated at 3.0 mmt, down 0.2 mmt or 6 percent from last month, and down 1.1 mmt or 27 percent from last year. Area is estimated at 2.6 mha, unchanged from last month, up 0.28 mha or 12 percent from last year. The yield forecast of 1.15 t/ha is the fourth lowest in the past ten seasons. Persistent dryness and the current soil moisture deficit in major portions of Australia’s winter crop region contributed to an estimated 17 percent drop in wheat yield and an 18 percent drop in rapeseed yield from the 5-year average. Precipitation has been well below average since major sowing operations commenced in May. Winter crops are sown in May and June. Harvest begins in November and is finished by the end of December. Satellite-derived vegetation indices (the normalized difference vegetation index or NDVI) observed below-average conditions for Western Australia and New South Wales, which are major producing states. South Australia and Victoria, however, show near-average crop conditions as seen in the NDVI. (For more information, please contact James.Crutchfield@fas.usda.gov)

India Wheat: Production Estimated at a Record Level USDA estimates wheat production for 2017/18 at a record 98.4 million metric tons, up 13 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at a record level of 3.22 tons per hectare, up nearly 12 percent from last year. The increase is due to favorable weather, boosting yields in the main wheat producing areas. Harvested area is estimated at 30.6 million hectares, up slightly from last year. The increase in area is attributed to strong domestic prices resulting from tight domestic
supplies. (For more information, please contact Arnella.Trent@fas.usda.gov) Turkey Wheat: Record Production and Yield USDA estimates Turkey wheat production for 2017/18 at 21.0 million metric tons (mmt), up 1.0 mmt or 5 percent from last month, and up 3.8 mmt or 22 percent from last year. The area estimate is 7.8 million hectares, unchanged from last month, but down just slightly from last year. The yield estimate of 2.69 tons per hectare is a record. Turkey has had an exceptional year regarding wheat production considering the challenging crop conditions at planting and establishment. A dry planting window followed by cold temperatures led to an earlier-than-normal dormancy, negatively impacting crop establishment. Beneficial snow cover, however, protected the crop over the winter months and once dormancy broke, provided plentiful soil moisture. This was followed by frequent and favorable amounts of spring precipitation during tillering and maturation. Despite the poor establishment, the beneficial spring promoted record yields. Harvest is finished and while news

accounts are clear about a record crop, poor quality has been reported to be a problem. (For more information, please contact William.Baker@fas.usda.gov) Russia Wheat: Harvest Reports Increase Record Production USDA estimates Russia wheat production for 2017/18 at 82.0 million metric tons (mmt), up 1.0 mmt from last month and topping last year’s record output by 9.5 mmt. Total wheat yield is estimated at 3.06 tons per hectare (t/ha), up about one percent from last month, and up 14 percent from last year’s record. Winter wheat harvest is complete and spring wheat harvest is wrapping up and should be finished by the end of October.
Updated harvest reports from the Ministry of Agriculture indicate higher yields than last year in the main three spring wheat growing regions (Urals, Volga and Siberia). In the Urals District, harvest is 93 percent complete and yield this year is currently at 2.02 t/ha as compared to last year’s 1.71 t/ha. In Volga, which grows both spring and winter wheat, harvest for the spring crop is 95 percent complete and yield this year is currently at 2.51 t/ha as compared to last year’s 2.01 t/ha. In Siberia, harvest is 84 percent complete and yield this year is currently at 1.66 t/ha as compared to last year’s 1.64 t/ha. Satellite imagery throughout the season confirmed these outstanding conditions. The USDA production estimate excludes output of roughly 1.0 mmt from Crimea.

China Cotton: Near Record Yield China’s 2017/18 cotton production is estimated at 24.5 million (480 lb.) bales (5.33 million metric tons), unchanged from last month, up 8 percent from last year. Area is still estimated at 3.13 million hectares, up 8 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 1,707 kilograms per hectare (kg/ha), down slightly from last year’s record of 1,708 kg/ha. Cotton picking is in full progress under favorable weather conditions across Xinjiang province. According to the China Cotton Association, 20 percent of Xinjiang’s crop had been harvested by the end of September. In the eastern provinces of Shandong, Hebei, and Jiangsu nearly half of the crop has been harvested. Since the season began in April, most major cotton growing regions received normal to above-normal rainfall, resulting in favorable planting conditions, plant growth, and a promising finish to the season. China cotton area increased slightly due to higher cotton prices. The area increased the most in Xinjiang and Hebei provinces. According to the National Cotton Monitoring Network (NCMN), Xinjiang province planted over 2 million hectares, increasing its cotton production to roughly 78 percent of the national total. This year’s area increase is a change from the trend of the past five years. For the past five consecutive seasons, harvested area declined across all cotton regions as farmers responded to changes in agricultural policy. In 2014 the government announced and enacted policies regarding the removal of cotton support, or direct subsidies, to farmers in an effort to minimize high stockpiles of cotton.

TABLE 18 Note: Tables on pages 35-37 present a record of the October projection and the final Estimate. Using
world wheat production as an example, the "root mean square error" means that chances are 2 out of
3 that the current forecast will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 1.7 percent.
Chances are 9 out of 10 (90% confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 2.9 percent. The
average difference between the October projection and the final estimate is 7.5 million tons, ranging
from 1.2 million to 26.7 million tons. The October projection has been below the estimate 26 times
and above 9 times.
