  1. FAPRI Outlook Prospects for the Next Decade: The New Ag/Energy Nexus William H. Meyers Professor of Agricultural Economics and Co-Director, FAPRI University of Missouri LINK Meeting Saint Petersburg, Russia 4 June 2009

  2. Outline • A new and market environment with stronger agriculture and energy linkages • Recent grain market developments • FAPRI projections of global market prospects • Highlights of results • Key movers and shakers • Main uncertainties • Challenges and opportunities • Policy priorities • Short term • Long term

  3. Why did prices rise, then decline? Can it ALL happen again? Why prices rose Why prices fell Sharp increase in global grain production in 2008 Financial crisis and world economic slowdown Stronger dollar Lower petroleum prices Slower biofuel growth Many interventions stop Speculation declined • Reduced grain production in Europe, Australia • Economic growth in Asia and elsewhere • Weaker dollar • Higher petroleum prices • Rapid biofuel expansion • Policy interventions • Speculation rose

  4. Corn and petroleum prices

  5. Grain production, million metric tons(WASDE May 12, 2009)

  6. Grain stocks, million metric tons (WASDE May 12, 2009)

  7. Grain stocks to use ratios (WASDE May 12, 2009)

  8. World grain stocks and real prices, Oct 2008

  9. World grain stocks and real prices (WASDE May 12, 2009)

  11. Historical and projected real commodity prices, 2007$

  12. Why do projections differ?

  13. Key elements of baseline assumptions • Macroeconomic Variables • Agricultural Policies • Technology • Normal Weather

  14. Macroeconomic drivers: GDP • 2009 recession and rapid recovery (IHS GI) • Strong global outlook from 2011 onward • 3.3 % average annual GDP growth rate • India and China average 7.8 and 8.2%, respectively

  15. Real GDP growth rates

  16. Macroeconomic drivers: exchange rate • U.S. Dollar strengthens in 2009 • Real depreciation of $ resumes in 2010 against many currencies • Most Asian currencies appreciate in real terms against the U.S. dollar • China experiences significant real appreciation

  17. Exchange rate, major trading partners, FC/US$

  18. Macroeconomic drivers: oil price • Projected petroleum prices in the near term are well below forecasts made in 2008 • Below $60/barrel through 2010 then increases to $80/barrel as global economy recovers and demand grows

  19. Petroleum price forecasts from IHS Global Insight *NYMEX July futures, 5/27/09

  20. Global macro drivers: income • Economic recovery fuels next 10 years growth • Dairy product consumption increases 13 kg per capita (milk equivalent) from 2008 to 2018 • Per capita meat increases 5.6 kg • Per capita vegetable oil increases 3.1 kg • Food grain consumption per capita declines • Production of meats increases 38.6 mmt or 18% • Trade in meats increases 4.1 mmt or 24.3%

  21. Changes in per capita food consumption 2008-2018

  22. World meat production and trade

  23. Dairy product consumption in Asia

  24. Meat production and feed use

  25. World grain prices

  26. Crop outlook:world feed grain outlook overview • Growth in livestock sector drives the increase in demand for feed grains. • Feedstock use for ethanol production boosts demand • Stronger prices increase area and, with yield growth, production increases. • Increase in area grows supply in the short-run, while yield improvement is the major source of growth in the long-run.

  27. World corn use and per capita consumption

  28. World corn area and yield

  29. World corn stocks-to-use ratio vs. price

  30. World food grain outlook overview • Food grain per capita consumption declines with growth in income as consumers “trade-up”to protein rich products. • With declining per capita consumption, demand growth comes mainly from population growth. • Growth in consumption in regions such as Asia, Africa, and the Middle East fuels growth in trade and strengthen food grain prices. • Long-run production growth driven by yield improvement.

  31. World wheat feed and food consumption

  32. World wheat area and yield

  33. World wheat stocks-to-use ratio vs. price

  34. World rice production, use, and per capita consumption

  35. World rice area and milled yield

  36. World oilseed outlook overview • Oilseed sector grows with strong demand for both oil and meal products driven by population and income growth, expansion of the livestock sector • China soybean imports grow by nearly 60 % from 2008 to 2018 • Increasing interest in renewable fuels and biodieselmandates drives increase in industrial use of vegetable oil and their prices. • Room for area expansion in South America dampens price growth in the next decade.

  37. World vegetable oil consumption

  38. World soybean area and yield

  39. World oilseed prices

  40. World vegetable oil prices

  41. World Protein Meal Prices

  42. FOB Northern European dairy product prices

  43. Movers, shakers and uncertainties Good weather and yields in 08/09, but costs and poor weather dampen 09/10 growth, except soybeans Price surge has abated, but NOT in some LIFDCs Trade “safeguard” interventions mostly gone Biofuel growth slowed, but policies remain Strong influence of energy markets continue Major uncertainties (stochastic analysis) Oil price US dollar The global financial crisis and impacts on demand growth, trade financing Weather

  44. Oil price distribution

  45. Maize US farm price uncertainty

  46. Wheat US farm price uncertainty

  47. A more uncertain future Road to economic recovery? Timing and size of oil price volatility? Will biofuel policies change? Will other policies be unstable? Wider range of possible outcomes Farmers and agribusiness can easily get on wrong side of output and/or input markets Complicated decision making and planning Larger impacts on low income consumers

  48. Challenge and Opportunity • Challenge - how to provide safety net measures for the most vulnerable populations • Opportunity - higher prices can increase incomes from food production in rural areas where agriculture is the main source of income and employment • National and international policy actions need to be considered • Short run • Long run
