Grain:
World Markets and Trade
Approved by the World Agricultural Outlook Board - USDA
Global corn production in 2015/16 is projected
down from last years record, with lower
forecasts for the United States, EU, Brazil, and
Ukraine. Global corn consumption is expected to
climb slightly above production for the first time
in 5 years. Global ending stocks are forecast
mostly unchanged, with growth in China nearly
offsetting stocks declines in the United States and
other foreign countries. World corn import
demand is expected higher, led by the EU and
Saudi Arabia.
Wheat production is forecast down from last
years record, but still above consumption for the
third straight year. Global consumption is
projected up slightly as steady growth in food use
more than offsets lower feeding. Global trade is
forecast lower, partly driven by larger crops in
some major importing countries. The EU is
forecast to be the worlds largest exporter for the
third straight year. Global stocks are projected
slightly larger with an increase in China, but
stocks in some exporting countries are expected
to tighten.
Rice production is projected at a new record.
Consumption is forecast to surpass production for
the third year in a row, drawing down stocks to
the lowest since 2007/08. Trade is projected to
decline marginally, but still near-record. U.S.
exports are projected higher on ample supplies
and improved price competitiveness in the
Western Hemisphere.

WHEAT: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE
HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2015/16
Global wheat production is
projected to reach 719
million tons, down 1
percent from the 2014/15
record. Of the eight major
exporting countries,
Australia and the United
States are the only two
with expected growth in
production, while
Argentina, Canada, EU,
Kazakhstan, Russia, and
Ukraine are all projected
lower. However, large
carryin stocks will offset
any production downturn;
therefore, exportable
supplies are still ample
moving into 2015/16.
Larger projected crops in
several major importing
countries in North Africa
and the Middle East will
lower overall import
demand in the region. Chinas wheat production is projected at a record and exceeds consumption for the third straight year. Saudi Arabias production is nearly phased out and the country will completely rely on imports to meet its needs.
Global consumption is expected to rise slightly to 717 million tons as greater food, seed and
industrial use more than offsets a drop in feed use. Food use is expected to grow 1 percent as a
result of population growth, increased urbanization, and dietary changes in some countries. Feed
use is projected lower as coarse grains are expected to displace some wheat in feed rations in
several countries, particularly in Canada, China, and Thailand.
Production Exceeds Consumption
Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA May 2015Office of Global Analysis

Global ending stocks are
forecast to rise marginally
to 203 million tons as
production exceeds
consumption for the third
straight year. Chinas stocks are projected to
surge because of the record
crop, while stocks in India
are projected at the lowest
in 8 years as a result of a
smaller crop. Exporter
ending stocks, on the other
hand, are down slightly;
tightening supplies in
Argentina, Canada, EU,
and Russia are only
slightly offset by projected
stock growth in the United
States, and to a lesser
extent, Australia. The United States is in a good position to capture any unexpected import
demand because of its heavy stock situation.
Selected Importers
Global trade is projected
down from 2014/15, but still
sizable at 157 million tons.
Considerable shifts in several
countries import demand are notable. Larger crops are
expected in Iran, Morocco,
Syria, and Turkey,
decreasing import demand.
Although crops in the EU are
smaller than last year,
imports are projected down
as the quality is expected to
improve, particularly in
France. Imports are projected
lower in Pakistan because of a prohibitive import duty. Thailand is projected lower as it
switches back to coarse grain use as feed-quality wheat becomes less competitive. Imports for
several countries are up due to rising demand for wheat-based food products, including Algeria,
Bangladesh, Indonesia, Iraq, and Nigeria. Brazil is projected higher because of its demand for
hard wheat used for blending. The United States is projected lower because of a larger domestic
crop and tight Canadian supplies.

EU is down 800,000 tons to 5.0 million.
Iran is reduced 1.0 million tons to 5.5 million.
Indonesia is up 400,000 tons to 8.1 million.
Iraq is raised 400,000 tons to 3.2 million.
Morocco is slashed 1.4 million tons to 2.0 million.
Pakistan is lowered 650,000 tons to 100,000.
Syria is cut 1.2 million tons to 500,000 tons.
Thailand is down 500,000 tons to 2.2 million.
Turkey is slashed 2.3 million tons to 3.5 million.
United States is down 400,000 tons to 3.8 million.
Selected Exporters
Global trade is projected 3 percent lower for 2015/16; therefore competition is expected to
intensify among major exporting countries. Argentina is up significantly from 2014/15 because
of large carry-in supplies and increased demand in South America. Australia is up slightly
supported by ample exportable supplies and reports of recent large sales to India. Canada is
projected lower due to tightening supplies and reduced demand for durum. EU exports are
forecast lower because of competition with other Black Sea countries, and declining import
demand for feed-quality wheat, particularly in East and Southeast Asian markets. Kazakhstan
is unchanged for 2015/16 as supplies are expected to be similar to 2014/15. Russia and Ukraine
are both down slightly as a result of a smaller crop and tightening supplies. The United States is
forecast higher for 2015/16 because of abundant exportable supplies and tighter supplies in
Canada. Indias exports will be limited to neighboring countries, such as Bangladesh and Nepal, because of a smaller crop.
Argentina is up 2.2 million tons to 6.7 million.
Australia is raised 500,000 tons to 18.0 million.
Brazil is down 800,000 tons to 1.0 million.
Canada is lowered 3.0 million tons to 21.0 million.
EU is cut 2.0 million tons to 32.5 million.

Kazakhstan is unchanged at 6.0 million tons.
India is down 1.1 million tons to 500,000.
Russia is down 1.5 million tons to 20.0 million.
Ukraine is down 1.0 million tons to 10.5 million.
The United States is up 2.3 million tons to 25.5 million.
PRICES:
Domestic: Wheat prices for most classes fell in April, weighed by weak export demand,
cancellations of U.S. sales, and mostly favorable growing conditions among competitors. Hard
Red Winter (HRW) plunged $39/ton to $223, while Soft Red Winter (SRW) dropped $38/ton to
$201. Hard Red Spring (HRS) tumbled $44/ton to $270 and Soft White (SWW) fell $30/ton to
$231/ton. Season-average farm prices in 2015/16 are projected in the range of $4.50 to
$5.50/bushel, lower than the estimated $6.00/bushel for 2014/15 based on abundant global
supplies.

RICE: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE
HIGHLIGHTS OF 2015/16 Global production is projected at a record 482 million tons. East and South Asia production rises driven by China, India, and Bangladesh. Southeast Asia is projected to harvest a record crop, boosting supplies and reducing import needs in the region. Africas crop is expected to reach a record. In South America, production increases moderately for Argentina and Colombia, while unchanged for Brazil. The U.S. crop is forecast to be slightly smaller than a year ago based on reduced area. Global consumption continues to rise in all regions, except for the Caribbean, North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Global ending stocks are projected to decline for the third consecutive year, and are the lowest since 2007/08. Combined ending stocks for Thailand and India, the top 2 exporters, are down 26 percent.
Selected Importers for 2016
Global trade declines marginally, but is still projected to be at a near-record level. China is forecast up 200,000 tons to a record 4.7 million, as lower prices in neighboring countries continue to make imports competitive. Nigeria is expected to decrease 1.0 million tons to 3.0 million as the country works down large carryover stocks. The Philippines is projected down 300,000 tons to 1.4 million, a result of record production as the country continues to move towards self-sufficiency.

Selected Exporters for 2016
Thailand is projected at 11.0 million tons, maintaining its place as the top exporter. The government continues to lower stocks via government-to-government sales and open tenders. India is forecast at 8.5 million tons, substantially lower than 2015 mainly due to smaller carryover stocks. Vietnam is steady at 6.7 million on continued demand from China and the Philippines. Pakistan is down slightly at 3.8 million tons. The United States is forecast at 3.5 million tons, marginally higher than 2015, on larger supplies and improved price competitiveness.
OVERVIEW OF 2014/15
Global production is up from last month as gains for Burma, Cote dIvoire, Japan, and Nigeria more than offset reductions for Bangladesh, Madagascar, and Thailand. Global consumption and trade are estimated higher with record imports for Nigeria. U.S. exports are unchanged. Trade Changes in 2015 Burmas exports are up 250,000 tons to 1.85 million on a larger crop and demand from
China. Indias exports are up 800,000 tons to 9.8 million reflecting a stronger pace to date. Cote dIvoires imports are cut 300,000 tons to 900,000 on larger production. Nigerias imports are up 500,000 tons to a record 4.0 million reflecting larger purchases
before the April election. Senegals imports are trimmed 100,000 tons to 1.1 million on a larger crop. Brazils imports are down 100,000 tons to 600,000 on large supplies. NOTES Cote dIvoire: Production was revised from 2010/11 based on the data from CILSS, the
Permanent Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel. Dominican Republic: Stocks were revised starting in 2004/05 to better reflect the Pledge
program (Pignoration) in the rice sector. Japan: Production was revised starting from 2008 to include rice grown for feed use.

COARSE GRAINS: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE
OVERVIEW FOR 2015/16 Global coarse grain production is forecast to fall as smaller crops in the United States and European Union more than offset record production in China. With ample carryin boosting supplies, global coarse grains consumption is forecast to expand by just 13 million tons. Stocks fall slightly as growth in China mostly offsets lower stocks elsewhere. Coarse grain trade is little changed overall. Global corn production is forecast down from last years record. Larger crops, mainly in China, South Africa, and India are more than offset by smaller production in the United States, EU, Brazil, and Ukraine. Global and U.S. consumption are both forecast up slightly, led by China. Corn used for ethanol in the United States is unchanged from this years record. Global ending stocks are forecast mostly unchanged with growth in China nearly offsetting declines in the United States and other foreign stocks. World corn import demand is expected higher, led by the EU and Saudi Arabia. World barley production is expected to drop slightly, despite larger crops in several key countries and North Africa, as Russian and Ukrainian crops are forecast down nearly 25 percent. Trade is forecast lower, with weaker demand from China and North Africa. Global sorghum production is forecast slightly higher. Trade is forecast slightly lower,

despite robust demand from China. However, future Chinese demand--and for all imported feedstuffs--remains highly uncertain as the country deals with mounting corn stockpiles, an expected record crop, and weakness in domestic demand. HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2015/16 Selected Exporters
U.S. corn is forecast at 48.5 million tons, up 2.5 million, on record supplies and less competition from Ukraine. The season-average farm price is down to a range of $3.20 to $3.80/bushel, with the mid-point 15 cents lower than the current season forecast.
Argentine corn is unchanged year-to-year at 16.0 million tons, despite a projected larger crop.
Brazilian corn is up 2.5 million tons to 24.0 million on larger exportable supplies from the 2015 safrinha crop.
South African corn is unchanged at 1.0 million tons because of tight exportable supplies
from the current crop.
Ukrainian corn is forecast at 16.0 million tons, 2.0 million lower than last year, based on smaller crop prospects.
Argentine barley is up 400,000 tons to 2.0 million on larger crop prospects.
Australian barley is forecast unchanged from last year at 5.5 million tons due to reduced
Chinese demand and despite a larger crop.
Canadian barley is up 200,000 tons to 1.5 million on larger crop prospects.
EU barley is forecast down 1.0 million tons to 7.5 million on a smaller crop.
Russian and Ukrainian barley are slashed a combined 1.9 million tons to 3.5 million and 2.0 million, respectively, because of sharply lower crop prospects.
Argentine sorghum is boosted 200,000 tons to 1.7 million on larger exportable supplies
and demand from China.
U.S. sorghum is forecast down 500,000 tons to 8.5 million on tighter exportable supplies.

Selected Importers
Chinese corn is forecast unchanged at 3.0 million tons with a projected record corn crop, abundant stocks, government incentives to purchase domestically, and restrictive import measures. High domestic corn prices are expected to continue to drive imports of alternative feedstuffs and have China remain the worlds largest importer of barley and sorghum. Barley imports are projected down 1.0 million tons to 7.0 million as global supplies are relatively tight. Sorghum is up 500,000 tons to 9.0 million with the vast majority of imports from the United States.
Egyptian corn is forecast up 500,000 tons to 8.0 million on growing feed demand.
EU corn is forecast sharply higher, up 4.0 million tons to 12.0 million, as the crop is projected down from last years record. Abundant global supplies of corn and a continued elevated forecast for EU wheat exports are expected to support imported corn as a competitively priced feed ingredient.
Japanese corn is forecast down 200,000 tons to 15.2 million based on sluggish demand
from the poultry and livestock sectors.
Mexican corn is up 300,000 tons to 10.3 million on a smaller crop and higher feed demand.
South Korean corn is projected up 400,000 tons to 10.0 million with growth in feed
demand from pork, partnered with steady poultry production, more than offsetting lower use by the cattle sector.
Japanese barley is expected to remain steady at 1.3 million tons.
Saudi barley is forecast at 6.5 million tons, unchanged from last year as barley
consumption is expected to decline in favor of more compound feed (corn imports are up 1.0 million tons to a record 4.5 million).
OVERVIEW FOR 2014/15 World corn production is raised, mostly on a larger crop in Brazil. Exporter trade changes are mostly offsetting, with U.S. and EU forecasts higher and Indian and Brazilian lower. Imports are boosted, largely because of greater demand from Kenya. The U.S. season-average farm price is lowered slightly. PRICES Following the release of the April WASDE report, U.S. corn quotes slid into early May on reports of rapid planting progress and favorable weather, closing down nearly $8/ton to $171/ton. Argentine quotes fell less, halving the premium for U.S. corn. Similarly, Black Sea quotes were

little changed and are now about at parity with U.S. prices. Brazilian quotes reappeared at months end and rose to match Argentine price levels. TRADE CHANGES IN 2014/15
Selected Exporters
U.S. corn is up 500,000 tons to 46.0 million on recent sales and relatively competitive prices.
Brazilian corn is cut 500,000 tons to 21.5 million as a greater proportion of the larger current crop is expected to be shipped in 2015/16.
EU corn is boosted 500,000 tons to 3.0 million on the pace of licenses.
Indian corn is slashed 1.0 million tons to 1.5 million on uncompetitive prices and sluggish trade to date.
Zambian corn is more than doubled to 700,000 tons as the country is expected to backfill regional trade usually supplied by South Africa.
Australian and EU barley are raised a combined 1.5 million tons, to 5.5 million and 8.5 million, respectively, on robust Chinese demand. Chinese imports are boosted sharply by 2.0 million tons to 8.0 million.

Russian barley is up 200,000 tons to 4.7 million on continued strong shipments.
Selected Importers
Kenyan corn is up 400,000 tons to 900,000 tons on strong demand and higher expected imports from East African Community countries.
Turkish barley is more than halved to 300,000 tons on little trade to date.
As conflict in the region continues, Syrian barley is cut 400,000 tons to 100,000, and
Jordanian is raised 250,000 tons to 900,000.
