Introduction to medium-term commodity projections

Session 1

Highlights of the 2017-2026 Agricultural Outlook

Agricultural commodity markets in 2016/17

• Above-average capital investments in recent years

• Record production and abundant stocks of most

commodities in 2016

• Prices of cereals, meats and dairy products

continued to decline from peaks experienced in the

last decade

• Oilseeds, vegetable oils, and sugar provide

exceptions to this trend, with prices rebounding in

2016

Key macroeconomic assumptions

• Global population growth slow down to 1% p.a., but

strong regional differences remain

• Economic recovery in most industrialized countries,

but growth prospects in large emerging countries

diverge

• Real currency appreciation expected in major

exporters

• Crude oil reference price rising from $44 to $90

Consumption Outlook

17

Main Messages

• Global consumption continues to expand and evolve

toward higher value commodities

• Growth will slow down compared to previous decade

• China, India and Sub-Saharan Africa drive global growth

• Convergence in per capita food consumption patterns

remains limited

Consumption by commodity

Protein consumption per capita

Protein availability remains diverse

Key difference is the level of animal protein consumption between regions

• low levels in Sub-Saharan Africa, India, and Southeast Asia

In India, main animal protein is coming from the fast expanding fresh dairy product consumption

In Southeast Asia, fish consumption is important

Limited income growth in poor rural and urban households and the slow development of a retail infrastructure for animal protein are seen as the main constraints to animal protein consumption growth

prices in line with inflation

Most commodity group

prices follow similar trends

due to substitutability and

Key takeaways and policy

challenges

Consumption Production

• Slowing demand growth • Few sources of demand to replace China

& biofuels• Rising demand for milk, sugar and oils

Policies to combat malnutrition

• Output gains mostly from yield increases• Important sustainability challenges – esp.

in SE Asia• Big yield gaps in poorest countriesInvest in sustainable productivity growth

Trade Prices

• Trade growth to slow• Main cause is weak demand• Export trade to remain concentrated

Need for open and reliable markets

• Real prices at or below current levels• Always a risk of specific price swings!

Aglink-Cosimo• Partial equilibrium model that provides structural

representations of national and global agricultural

markets where all of the major agricultural sectors are

assumed to be connected

– Non-agricultural markets are not modelled and are treated

exogenously to the model

• Specific assumptions regarding: – Macroeconomic conditions

– Agriculture and trade policy settings

– Weather conditions

– Longer term productivity trends

– International market developments

41

• Model, driven by elasticities, technical parameters and policy variables,

• provides representations of national and global agricultural markets where all of the major agricultural sectors are assumed to be connected,

• outlook simulation tool that constructs projections over a ten year period so that all of the main characteristics of the crops and livestock sectors influence the final equilibrium.

Methodological Approach

Key assumptions of the model:

1. World markets for agricultural commodities arecompetitive.

2. Domestically produced and traded commodities areviewed to be perfect substitutes by buyers and sellers.

3. Aglink-Cosimo is a partial equilibrium model for the mainagricultural commodities. Non-agricultural markets arenot modelled and are treated exogenously to the model.

Medium term baseline process

Definition of partial equilibrium model

“A partial equilibrium is one which is based on only a restricted range of data, a standard example is price of a single product, the prices of all other products being held fixed during the analysis.”

Source: Definition by George Stigler in Jain, T.R. (2006-07). Microeconomics and Basic Mathematics. New Delhi: VK Publications. p. 28.

Advantages of PE modeling

1. Limited data requirements

2. Disaggregated and detailed sector analysis

Page 22: PowerPoint Presentation · model-based dialogue on global prospects for food and agriculture between stakeholders and FAO • Consensus baseline • Scenario analyses 8 Outlook tool

06/11/2017

22

Assumptions of a partial equilibrium model

• The analysis only considers the effects of a given policy action on the market that is directly affected;

• Price and Quantity of a given commodity are taken as endogenous (determined) and all other goods are constant and exogenous to the analysis;

• Markets are perfectly competitive

Assumptions of PE model (2)

• Cost minimization or profit maximization on the production side;

• Utility maximization (given budget constraint) on the consumption side

AGLINK-Cosimo and partial equilibrium modeling (3)

• The functional relationships linking supply and demand to prices are, in most cases, linear in the logarithms of the variables

• Equation coefficients are partial elasticities

Aglink-Cosimo Model

How do we carry out the Outlook?1/ Country expertise is taken into account as a starting point

A questionnaire is sent to each collaborator country

2/ The AGLINK-COSIMO model is used to get

a consistent and coherent picture

Collaboration between FAO and OECD Secretariats

3/ Model Outcomes are adjusted through expert opinions

Collaboration between FAO and OECD Secretariats

4/ Final review of projections in OECD commodity groups

Projections (not forecast) are discussed with member/observer countries

Main steps to obtain the baseline

Step 1 : Country standalonesCalibrate country models on questionnaire replies

Step 2 : Merge of country standalone and of COSIMOGet the AGLINK – COSIMO model

Step 3: Computation of the baselineWork on the global model on a commodity base

Endogenous data:

122

Total Production = f(price of ethanol/average feedstock price,

policy variables)

Production by feedstock = f(average feedstock price/feedstock

price)

Feedstock demand = f(production by feedstock, conversion

factor)

Byproducts production = f(production by feedstock,

conversion factor)

Biofuels / Production

123

Ethanol/Biodiesel use in low blends (price driven) =

f(ethanol price/gasoline price, per-capita income, population)

Ethanol other use (non fuel) = f(ethanol price, income)

Mandated Ethanol/Biodiesel use = f(mandated blending,

gasoline/diesel use)

Total Ethanol/Biodiesel use = max (mandated, price driven

uses)

+ other use (ethanol)

Questions?

Scenario 1

Impact of ethanol production on domestic cassava price from 2009 to 2016

• Ex- post 2009-2016

• Assess the impact of domestic fuel blending mandate and ethanol production from cassava on the domestic cassava market between 2009 and 2016.

• The ethanol blending mandate intends to generate fuel use, but the envisaged 5% of total gasoline use have never been reached.

• It is assumed that no fuel consumption of ethanol occurs without a mandate.

• Scenario 1 removes the blending requirement and subsequently all ethanol production for fuel use.

45

• Cassava industry is export oriented and domestic price depends on global market.

• Ethanol production for biofuel only accounted for about 5% of domestic use in 2009, however the share increase to reach around 43% in 2016, still accounting for only 6-7% of production.

• Domestic price appeared only marginally elevated, which hardly impacted food or feed use.

• Molasses price drops significantly, but sugarcane price and production would be only slightly affected.

Session 7

Biofuel applications and exercises

Impact of the ethanol blending ratio increase to 3.5% in 2018 and further

gradual raise to 5% by 2023

• 2017 – 2026

• Assess the impact of the introduction of a E5 blending mandate by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) in January 2018 on the domestic and international markets for cassava and other relevant agricultural commodities.

Scenario 2

Page 46: PowerPoint Presentation · model-based dialogue on global prospects for food and agriculture between stakeholders and FAO • Consensus baseline • Scenario analyses 8 Outlook tool

06/11/2017

46

• Two different paths are considered:

– Scenario 2.a assumes the enforcement of a blending ratio of 3.5% from 2018 throughout the projection period.

– Scenario 2.b assumes the introduction of a 3.5% blending ratio in 2018, its gradual increase to 5% over the following five years, and for it to remain at this level to 2026.

Scenario 2: Implications

• The additional ethanol demand is expected to be supplied domestically, however the production would be partially based on imported feedstocks.

• The price increase would not significantly stimulate the cassava domestic production, as the market remains dominated by exports.
