COARSE GRAINS: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE OVERVIEW Record corn production for 2016/17 is raised from last month with larger crops in both Ukraine and Mexico more than offsetting lower production in the EU. Robust demand in both Iran and Vietnam support a higher volume of global exports. Moreover, a smaller barley crop in Iran boosts the demand for imported feedstuffs. The U.S. season-average farm price for corn is unchanged at $3.40 per bushel. PRICES Corn prices in major exporting countries are minimally changed from last month. Argentine quotes are around $182 per ton, mostly unchanged from last month, while Brazilian FOB quotes have been seasonally unavailable. Black Sea quotes are nearly the same at $170. U.S. prices displayed the strongest growth, briefly surpassing $170 but nevertheless retreating to $168 per ton. Reflecting abundant new-crop supplies, both U.S. and Black Sea quotes show significant divergence from South American bids in advance of upcoming harvests. However, Argentine forward prices, March onward, are competitive relative to the United States.

TRADE CHANGES IN 2016/17 Selected Exporters
• U.S. sorghum is cut 500,000 tons to 5.8 million on a continued slow pace of sales and shipments particularly to China.
• Canadian corn is up 300,000 tons to 1.0 million reflecting larger sales to Spain.
• Kazakh barley is boosted 300,000 tons to 1.0 million with the brisk pace of recent exports.
• Ukrainian corn is raised 700,000 tons to 18.7 million reflecting higher exportable supplies.
• European Union barley is down 300,000 tons to 5.9 million due to the slow pace of exports.
Selected Importers
• Chinese sorghum is cut 500,000 tons to 4.5 million on a slower pace to date. Note: 2016/17 (Oct-Sep) corn consumption is boosted this month to partly offset lower imports of alternative feedstuffs, particularly sorghum and distillers’ dried grains (DDGS). Since the elimination of the support price, corn prices in China have dropped substantially, encouraging greater use of domestic corn. Also, higher duties on U.S. DDGS have resulted in substantially lower imports. The corn use for food, seed, industrial (FSI) is also raised as lower prices and government support policies are expected to promote domestic use and exports of corn products - corn starch, glucose, fructose, and citric acid. As a result, corn ending stocks are forecast lower from last month.
• Iranian corn is boosted 500,000 tons to 7.5 million to partly offset the smaller barley crop.
• Vietnamese corn is raised 500,000 tons to 8.0 million reflecting larger shipments from Argentina.

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 (2015/16 starts in 2015); except for summer grains
in certain Southern Hemisphere countries and for rice in selected countries, where the second
year begins the LMY (2015/16 starts in 2016). 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) 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
(https://apps.fas.usda.gov/psdonline/app/index.html#/app/downloads).
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.
