OUTLOOK FOR SOYBEAN MEAL AND CORN • יום עיון רפתות גליל מערבי 19.02.08
Soybean led recovery expected next year, but will remain well below levels of two years ago
Record yearly decline in world soybean production, assuming normal South American yields
Relatively small increase in South America production is expected. Would not take much of a crop problem before production is lower than the previous year
US stocks are declining to minimum levels. No signs of sufficient rationing yet. Supply tightness in the 08/09 season could become more severe if a large increase in area is not secured.
La Nina could increase risk for adverse weather and lower yield
Expect the meal/corn ratio to move to 2.5. Based on a corn price of $3.15-$4.75 per bushel, soybean meal would be $288-$424 per ton
Ethanol keeps shifting the price curve upwards. The price curve is likely higher than the line running through 06/07.
