Stiff Competition Among Rice Exporters as Global Trade Expands
For email subscription, click here to register: https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDAFAS/subscriber/new
Global rice trade is forecast to rise in 2017, on larger imports by Asian and Middle Eastern countries. Trade is projected up 3 percent from the prior year to the third-largest on record. This reverses the recent 2-year contraction that occurred as countries sought to increase domestic production and self-sufficiency, at times through restrictive trade measures. With global supplies at a record and production up for most major exporters, the competition for exports is expected to be intense. India is forecast to remain the largest exporter for the sixth consecutive year. Basmati exports account for over a third of its trade, and competition from Pakistan is limited. For non-fragrant white rice, exports are forecast to remain competitive on sufficient carry-in stocks and a larger crop. Meanwhile, exports from Thailand are forecast slightly higher this year, aided by expanded production and large carry-over. The government is committed to liquidating stocks that were accumulated over several years. Although the majority of remaining stocks are considered non-food grade quality and are expected be used domestically for feed or ethanol, much of the food-grade quality may be allocated to foreign markets. These exports will likely continue to compete with lower-priced Vietnamese rice. Exports from Vietnam are expected to rebound this year from the lowest level in a decade. This is based on improved prospects to Asian markets such as the Philippines, where quantitative restrictions are set to expire later this year. Given this stiff competition, U.S. exports are forecast up only fractionally from the previous year, driven by stronger demand in traditional Western Hemisphere markets.

WHEAT: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE
OVERVIEW
Global wheat production remains at a record, but is reduced this month mainly on lower crops
for India and Kazakhstan. Global trade is boosted to a new record with higher imports for China,
Morocco, and Vietnam more than offsetting cuts for Ethiopia, EU, and South Korea. Larger
exports for Argentina, Ukraine, and the United States are partially offset by reductions in
Kazakhstan and Russia. The U.S. season-average farm price is raised $0.05 to $3.85 per bushel.
U.S. PRICES:
Domestic: Prices for most wheat classes were up during the month of January, underpinned by
2017/18 U.S. crop prospects as well as a weakening dollar. On January 12, USDA released its
Winter Wheat and Canola Seedings report, which estimated U.S. winter wheat area to be the
lowest in over 100 years. Hard Red Winter (HRW) was up $11/ton to $202, while Soft Red
Winter (SRW) gained $10/ton to $184. Soft White Winter (SWW) surged $33/ton to $220,
while Hard Red Spring (HRS) jumped $29/ton to $284, both supported by adverse weather
conditions which slowed deliveries to Pacific Northwest ports. Furthermore, the growing gap
between HRS and most other wheat classes is indicative of tight supplies of high-protein wheat
in the global market.

SOUTHEAST ASIAN WHEAT IMPORTS RISING
Southeast Asian wheat imports have more than doubled over the past decade. Milling-quality
wheat demand has grown as diets have shifted towards more wheat products. Furthermore, feed
and residual use in the region has more than doubled due to rapidly rising demand from the
livestock, poultry, and aquaculture sectors. While food use is expected to continue rising, the
growth of feed and residual use for the region is forecast to slow in 2016/17. Indonesia and
Thailand are forecast to import less feed-quality wheat than the previous year due to policy
restrictions on feed wheat imports in both countries. Also contributing to Thailand’s reduced use
of wheat is higher rice feeding from non-food-grade rice stocks. However, lower imports for
Indonesia and Thailand are offset by surging imports for Vietnam, where demand for feed grains
continues to rise.

TRADE CHANGES IN 2016/17
Selected Exporters
Argentina is up 500,000 tons to 9.5 million on a faster pace of shipments.
Kazakhstan is lowered 1.0 million tons to 7.5 million on tighter exportable supplies.
Russia is reduced 500,000 tons to 28.5 million based on the slower-than-anticipated pace
of trade.
Ukraine is raised 800,000 tons to 16.5 million based on lower domestic use and strong
demand from Asian markets.
United States is boosted 1.5 million tons to 27.5 million on the brisk pace of sales and
shipments.
Selected Importers
Bangladesh is raised 200,000 tons to 5.5 million on a stronger pace of trade and higher
expected food use.
China is up 500,000 tons to 4.0 million as high-quality wheat is in strong demand for
blending with the lower-quality domestic crop.
Ethiopia is cut 500,000 tons to 1.5 million based on slow pace of imports and the reduced
size of the government’s recent tender.
European Union is cut 500,000 tons to 6.0 million on the slow pace of trade.
Indonesia is raised 200,000 tons to 9.0 million on stronger demand for milling-quality
wheat.
South Korea is lowered 500,000 tons to 4.5 million based on the declining
competitiveness of wheat in feed rations.
Morocco is up 500,000 tons to 5.5 million based on recent purchases, which signal an
effort to rebuild stocks.
Vietnam is up sharply by 1.4 million tons to 5.0 million based on strong feed demand.

RICE: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE OVERVIEW For 2016/17, global rice production, already at a record, is raised fractionally this month on revisions to the crops in Bangladesh and Kazakhstan. Global trade is up, with larger imports for the United Arab Emirates and Brazil. Exports are raised for India, Thailand, and Burma. Global stocks are revised slightly lower, but are still the highest in 15 years. PRICES
Exporter quotes for long-grain rice rose for a number of markets over the past month. Pakistani quotes increased the most, up $40/mt to $395, on stronger purchases from China and East Africa. Indian quotes rose $15/mt to $370, reflecting robust African purchases. The Vietnamese quotes went up $7/mt to $346, with relatively quiet trading during the Lunar New Year holidays. Western Hemisphere quotes rose $20/mt to $494 for Uruguay and $5/mt to $460 for the United States, partly in response to the recent Iraq tender. In contrast, Thai quotes declined $9/mt to $370 in anticipation of government auctions of stocks.

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.
