2013 Crop Prospects Are Signaling Transitions in Grain/Oilseeds and Animal Protein/Dairy
The Transition Path from Tight Supplies is Linked to South America, Demand Shifts and 2014 Crops
Chart source: Knowledge Exchange Division, CoBank, ACB (confidential and proprietary)
South American 2013/14 crop outcome; infrastructure issues.
Growth rate of Chinese grain and oilseed demand.
Rate of expansion in U.S. animal protein and dairy sectors.
Global economic conditions, currency movements and capital flows impacting emerging markets. (Driven by shifts in fiscal, monetary and economic policies including trade.)
Acreage realignments in the U.S., particularly corn/soybeans. (farm program incentives, prices & weather are factors.)
Non‐U.S. grain production, particularly in the exportable surplus countries.
Global and domestic weather variability.Chart source: Knowledge Exchange Division, CoBank, ACB (confidential and proprietary)
