EU Wheat Exports Boost Demand for Corn
United States Department of Agriculture
Foreign Agricultural Service
Circular Series FG 03-13 March 2013
EU corn imports are up sharply in 2012/13 as exports of wheat reduce domestic grain supplies. EU wheat exports are up nearly 20 percent, despite lower production. Ending stocks are also the tightest since Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform which effectively eliminated government (intervention) stocks. The vacuum created by the absence of exportable supplies from Russia and Ukraine is pulling wheat out of the European Union to fill demand in North Africa and the Middle East. Although French and German exports are expanding, eastern European countries, such as Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, and Romania are benefitting the most from the reduced competition. Meanwhile, a tight EU domestic feed-quality wheat situation and a nearly 20 percent drop in corn production has stimulated a surge in corn imports. Import licenses have more than doubled year-over-year with demand for corn coming mostly from southern European countries. This year, Ukraine has abundant corn supplies and limited feed-quality wheat resulting in a nearly tripling of corn exports to the EU (Oct-Dec). Brazil has also become a significant supplier.

Note: Consumption in this table has not been adjusted for differences in marketing year imports and exports
and therefore differs from global totals shown elsewhere.
Marketing years for U.S. grains are: Wheat (Jun-May), Rice (Aug-Jul), Corn (Sep-Aug).

WHEAT: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE OVERVIEW Global wheat production for 2012/13 is raised nearly 2.0 million tons on adjustments to the EU and Indian crops. Global imports are raised due to revisions to Algeria, South Korea and Iran, which are partially offset by a cut in Egypt. Exports are up for Brazil, the EU, and Ukraine but down for the United States. The season-average U.S. farm price is lowered, but remains a record. PRICES
Domestic: Wheat prices for all classes dropped in February. Hard Red Winter (HRW) slumped $22 to $322/ton although drought conditions persist in some growing areas. Soft Red Winter (SRW) prices fell $19 to $293/ton, dropping below corn. Hard Red Spring (HRS) shed $11 to $353/ton and Soft White Winter (SWW) dropped $11 to $323/ton as supplies tighten.

TRADE CHANGES IN 2012/13 Selected Exporters • Brazil is boosted 500,000 tons to 1.7 million on the shipment pace to date and as demand
for feed-quality wheat strengthens from Israel, Spain, South Korea, and several other countries.
• EU is up 1.0 million tons to 19.5 million on strong licenses and sales.
• Ukraine is raised 300,000 tons to 6.5 million based on continued shipments. • United States is cut 500,000 tons to 28.5 million on smaller-than-expected shipments and
slow sales.
Selected Importers • Algeria is raised 300,000 tons to 5.5 million due to recent purchases of French soft wheat
and Canadian durum.
• Egypt is cut 1.0 million tons to 8.5 million as a result of tightening foreign exchange reserves and the government’s intent to procure more domestic supplies.
• Iran is up 1.0 million tons to 4.0 million due to the strong pace of deliveries, particularly from the EU.
• South Korea is boosted 500,000 tons to 5.5 million as large purchases of Indian feed-
quality wheat continue.
• Yemen is raised 300,000 tons to 2.9 million due to a strong delivery pace.

RICE: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE
OVERVIEW Although global rice production for 2012/13 is forecast at a record, consumption is expected to outpace production. However, stocks are still ample, particularly in major exporting countries. Global trade is virtually unchanged, though U.S. exports are estimated higher. PRICES
Over the past 5 months, the spread between U.S. medium- and long-grain rice export quotes has narrowed from nearly $250/ton to just under $60, the narrowest range since April 2010. Medium-grain export quotes have been driven down as ample supplies face increased competition from Egypt in Middle Eastern markets, since the government ended a 4-year export ban in October 2012. On the other hand, long-grain export quotes have been edging up in recent months as additional shipments to Latin America and the Middle East have led to tightening U.S. supplies.

SELECTED TRADE CHANGES
• India is raised 100,000 tons to 7.6 million in 2013 on account of larger exportable supplies.
• Cambodia is up 150,000 tons to a record 975,000 tons in 2013 as a record crop lowers prices, encouraging imports by regional partners.

Corn Daily Export Bids
Argentina Up River U.S. Gulf Black Sea
COARSE GRAINS: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE OVERVIEW Global corn production is largely unchanged; consumption is boosted only slightly as higher U.S. feeding is mostly offset elsewhere. Global corn trade is down on lower U.S. exports, despite higher expected shipments from Argentina. The season-average farm price is reduced but remains a record. PRICES
Following the release of USDA’s February report, U.S. export quotes dipped but have since risen to close about unchanged from last month. As Argentina’s new-crop harvest gets underway, prices have dropped $20/ton and are now about $40/ton under U.S. prices. Brazilian corn is not quoted as traders shift their emphasis to soybeans.
March 2013
Grain: World Markets and Trade, March 2013

TRADE CHANGES IN 2012/13 Selected Exporters
• U.S. corn is cut 1.5 million tons to 22.5 million, the lowest in over 40 years, on slow
sales and shipments and strong competition.
• Argentine corn is up 500,000 tons to a record 20.0 million, despite lower production, on competitive prices and expected strong early-season shipments as Brazil’s exports slow seasonally with an expected shift to soybeans.
• U.S. sorghum is raised 400,000 tons to 2.1 million on the pace of sales and shipments to Mexico. (Mexican imports are raised by the same amount to 2.2 million tons).
Selected Importers
• U.S. corn is boosted 500,000 tons to a record 3.0 million because of continued strong shipments, largely from Brazil.
• South Korean corn is lowered by 500,000 tons to 7.5 million on purchases of Indian wheat for feeding.

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 (2011/12 starts in 2011); except for summer grains in certain Southern Hemisphere countries and for rice in selected countries, where the second year begins the LMY (2011/12 starts in 2012). 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) China (Oct/Sep) EU-27 (Jul/Jun) United States (Sep/Aug) China (Jul/Jun) South Africa (May/Apr) Russia (Jul/Jun) EU-27 (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 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 and Romania, 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.
