EU Corn Imports to Rise Even Higher
EU corn imports are now forecast to reach another record in 2018/19 based on several factors. First, the supplies of key feed grains are limited in the domestic market. Wheat supplies in the European Union and Black Sea region are very tight (see August 2018 Grain World Markets and Trade), triggering additional demand for alternative feed grains. Shrinking corn acreage, smaller crop forecasts for barley, oats, and rye, as well as reports of damaged pasture in northern Europe due to persistent hot and dry conditions only exacerbate the feed deficit. Second, the magnitude of domestic livestock production will continue to support demand for grain feed. Other than 2014/15, when imports plummeted due to a record corn crop and a surge in feed-quality wheat supplies, corn imports have been steadily expanding due to domestic demand for feed grains in the livestock sector. The larger availability from adjacent producers, as well as the climbing price advantage, will contribute to the EU's corn usage in feed. Third, corn should continue to be price-competitive1. Anticipation of a bountiful U.S. corn crop, compounded by price pressure in the U.S. soybean market, is weighing on global corn prices. On the other hand, driven by tight supplies in the European Union and Black Sea, global wheat prices have jumped sharply since late June, reducing the appeal of wheat feeding in the European Union while supporting corn prices. Reported forward prices of wheat and corn in the upcoming months show that feed-quality wheat, as well as feed barley, are not competitive. This indicates price competitiveness of corn is likely to stay throughout 2018/19, raising EU's usage and imports. With expected growth in the European Union, global corn imports are projected to reach a record in 2018/19. EU imports are likely to be filled from nearby suppliers such as Ukraine and Serbia, as well as South America. Despite not having full market access to the European Union due to biotech-related issues, U.S. exports will still benefit from growing global demand. The United States will continue to be highly competitive, as key competitors such as Brazil and Argentina struggle with domestic policy issues and tight old-crop supplies.

WHEAT PRICES
Domestic: U.S. wheat prices for the month of August were mostly down on the continued weak pace of export sales, spillover weakness from corn and soy markets, as well as mostly favorable conditions for winter wheat planting. Hard Red Winter (HRW) and Soft Red Winter (SRW) were both down $7/ton to $247 and $224, respectively, while Hard Red Spring (HRS) declined $6/ton to $264. On the other hand, Soft White Winter (SWW) rose $10/ton to $235 based on drought conditions in Australia, which is the major competitor for this class of wheat.

OVERVIEW FOR 2018/19 Global wheat production is up this month mainly from larger crops in India and Russia, which more than offset smaller crops for Australia and Canada. Global trade is forecast down as global wheat supplies tighten. Imports are lowered for Indonesia. Exports are forecast lower for Australia and Canada. The U.S. season-average farm price is unchanged at $5.10 per bushel.

WHEAT
Global: Exporter prices were mostly stable at the end of August, except for Australia and the United States. Drought in Australia has driven its prices up rapidly, as domestic food and feed demand are prioritized over exports. U.S. export prices are down from August, narrowing the spread between U.S. wheat and EU and Black Sea wheat. Black Sea prices remained stable and are the most competitive wheat on the international market.

Australian Wheat Exports Forecast Lowest in a Decade
Australian 2018/19 wheat exports are forecast at 14.0 million tons (July-June trade year), the lowest since 2009/10, due to less production from drought-stricken Queensland and New South Wales. Wheat production is forecast at 20.0 million tons for 2018/19, which would be the lowest since 2007/08. As Australian supplies become tighter, prices have been climbing to levels significantly higher than those of other global exporters. Although weather conditions in South Australia (SA) and Western Australia (WA) have been more favorable, drought in the east has made exports uncompetitive against other origins with domestic use forecast higher. SA and WA have been shipping wheat east to satisfy feed and food demands in the domestic market. The drought has led to early slaughter of animals, as feeding becomes more costly amid tightening supplies.

Global Wheat Supplies Tightening and Prices Trending Higher
Global Wheat Production and Consumption: Global wheat production is forecast down 3 percent from last year to the lowest level in 4 years. The largest year-to-year reductions are for the European Union and Russia, down by a combined 28 million tons, while U.S. production is forecast higher by nearly 4 million tons. Global consumption is forecast to continue growing and is set to exceed production by 13 million tons in 2018/19, the largest global shortfall in 6 years. Food, Seed, and Industrial consumption of wheat is projected to continue rising, more than offsetting lower Feed and Residual use. Stocks-to-Use: The tightening of global wheat supplies is even more apparent after accounting for China’s impact. China’s stocks have surged for several years in a row and are forecast to account for more than half of global ending stocks this year. China’s large stocks, which are considered mainly unavailable to the global market, mask the extent to which global supplies are tightening. The stocks/use ratio at the end of 2018/19 for the world less China is forecast to be the tightest since 2007/08. With prices rising, many exporters are expected to ship much of their available wheat and will have more limited supplies left over at the end of their respective marketing seasons. Likewise, with higher prices, importers are expected to maintain tighter stock levels. Wheat Prices: Wheat prices are already on the upswing in most major exporting countries. The U.S. season-average farm price (SAFP), for instance, is forecast at $5.10 per bushel, up $0.38 from last year, but remains well below the 10-year average. Relatively low corn prices are expected to ration away some demand for feed wheat, particularly in the European Union, which partially mitigates the effect of historically tight wheat supplies.

Global: U.S. FOB export quotes for long-grain milled rice (bagged) have finally dampened to $550/ton on the ongoing harvest and generally favorable production prospects. The quotes remain slightly above South American suppliers such as Uruguay, still quoted around $520/ton. Meanwhile, nearly all the major Asian exporters are quoting slightly below $400/ton on tough competition and abundant supplies.

OVERVIEW FOR 2018/19 Global rice production is down slightly from the prior year’s record and is lowered this month on a smaller crop in China. Global consumption is forecast slightly higher, particularly for India. Ending stocks are raised from last month, but nonetheless show a year-to-year decline. Global trade is raised slightly with higher imports forecast for Venezuela and the Philippines. OVERVIEW FOR 2017/18 Global rice production and consumption are adjusted higher this month on larger supplies in India. Global ending stocks are raised, primarily for India. Global trade is nearly unchanged as larger exports for India and Uruguay more than offset smaller exports for Burma.

MARKET FEATURE
Venezuela 2018 Rice Purchases Up, Mostly Sourced from Brazil
In the first seven months of 2018, Venezuela has imported more rice than all of 2017. Purchases were particularly large ahead of the May 2018 elections. The suppliers to Venezuela are markedly different than they were in past years. Typically, the United States has been the largest supplier of paddy rice. Given the tight 2017/18 supplies, U.S. prices were significantly higher in the first part of 2018, allowing South American paddy suppliers such as Brazil and Uruguay to make significant gains in market share. Brazil was the primary supplier for the first portion of the year as its paddy prices have been significantly lower amid ample supplies. The strong shipments to Venezuela have been one factor enabling Brazil to soar to its highest exports in 6 years. Likewise, Uruguay has benefitted from large exports to Venezuela, primarily in paddy form, now its third-largest market. Venezuelan milled rice imports have been mainly from Mexico.
Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, the United States is expected to regain competitiveness in Venezuela and began shipping new-crop paddy rice in August. Given the continuing macroeconomic challenges and hyperinflation of around one million percent, the pace of imports is expected to slow somewhat in the coming months. Annual imports are expected to reach 500,000 tons in 2018.

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 (2016/17 starts in 2016); except for summer grains in certain Southern Hemisphere countries and for rice in selected countries, where the second year begins the LMY (2016/17 starts in 2017).

For a complete list of local marketing years, please see the FAS website http://www.fas.usda.gov/psdonline/psdAvailability.aspx 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. Unaccounted: This term includes grain in transit, reporting discrepancies in some countries, and trade to countries outside the USDA database.
