  2. Presentation Outline • Summary of projections • Main assumptions • Developments influencing world agriculture • Projections for farm commodities • Uncertainties • Conclusion Prospects for World Agriculture: USDA/ERS

  3. USDA Baseline Projections • 10-year projections for major farm commodities - Supply, demand, trade, and prices. • Projections based on: - Economic models >Crop-area allocation model - for the USA > Models for individual commodity markets in the USA > Linked Country Model (“Linker”) ( Links 23 commodity markets in 39 countries & regions ) - Analysis and judgments by commodity analysts, country analysts and policy analysts. • Assumptions: - Basline projections based on many assumption - The baseline is not a forecast; but a projection of what might occur under a specific set of assumptions • Projections made November, 2004. Prospects for World Agriculture: USDA/ERS

  4. Total World Grain & Oilseeds1 Area, Yield, Production, & Percap Consumption; and Population Exponential trend growth rates: 1975-95 95-04 06-14 Prod 1.6 0.7 .09 Yields 1.8 1.3 0.8 Area -0.26 -0.59 0.11 Percap Use 0.08 -0.04 -0.18 Populatio 1.68 1.23 1.05 1 Total oilseeds = soybeans + rapeseed + sunflowers Prospects for World Agriculture: USDA/ERS

  10. U.S. Dollar Projected to Strengthen1 Index values: 2000=100 1/ Real U.S. agricultural trade-weighted dollar exchange rate, using U.S. agricultural export weights. Prospects for World Agriculture: USDA/ERS

  11. Crude Oil Prices $ per barrel Refiners' acquisition cost of crude, imports Refiners' acquisition cost, adjusted for inflation Prospects for World Agriculture: USDA/ERS

  12. Policy Assumptions • Domestic agricultural and trade policies in most countries either do not change, or they continue to evolve along their current path. • All countries fully comply with all existing bilateral and multilateral agreements. Prospects for World Agriculture: USDA/ERS

  13. Other Global Influences • Technical developments enhance productivity: - Biotechnology increased farm productivity - Developments in transportation, processing, energy use - Increased availability of data and information • Globalization: Markets more integrated from farm to table. • Environmental Policy: Will influence farm production. • Renewable energy: Will reallocate production resources. • Food Safety: Will affect production, processing & marketing. • New producers exporting to niche markets: Will mean increased competition. • Aging World Population: Will change eating habits. Prospects for World Agriculture: USDA/ERS

  14. Changes in Food Consumption • Greater consumption of: • - Fruits & Vegetables • - Vegetable Oils • - Processed Cereal Products • - Meats & Dairy Products • Less consumption of: • - Staple grains - rice in Asia, corn in Mexico & Africa • - Low-quality grain varieties (switching to higher quality) (high-quality varieties may have lower yields) • - Roots & tubers • Feed demand increases: •  import demand for feed grains& protein meals Prospects for World Agriculture: USDA/ERS

  36. Uncertainties - General • Economic growth: Will it be less rapid than projected? • Energy prices: Will petroleum & natural gas prices drop from current highs -- or rise even further? What will be impact on fertilizer and fuel costs? • Diseases: Will Avian influenza, BSE, FMD and Asian rust spread to other countries? • Supply response: How fast can world ag production respond to future shocks in production? • Additional crop land: How much can be brought into production -- on a sustainable basis? • Water shortages: Agriculture competition with residential, commercial and industrial demand? Prospects for World Agriculture: USDA/ERS

  37. Uncertainties - Country Specific • Argentina: Expansion in crop area? Productivity growth? Expansion in cattle feed-lot sector? • Brasil: Expansion in crop area? Infrastructure improvements (transportation & on-farm storage)? • China: Becomes a net corn importer? Soybean imports continue to rise? Possible revaluation of Yuan? Water shortages constrain farm production? • Eastern Europe: Becomes the bread basket for Europe and a major exporter? • Asian Rice Consumption: Trend in per capita consumption continues to decline? Prospects for World Agriculture: USDA/ERS

  38. Conclusions Prospects for World Agriculture: USDA/ERS

  39. Farm Prices1 Corn, Wheat, and Soybean $ per bushel Soybeans Wheat Corn 1Nominal U.S. farm prices Prospects for World Agriculture: USDA/ERS

  40. Livestock Prices1 $ per hundredweight Beef cattle Broilers Hogs 1Nominal U.S. prices Prospects for World Agriculture: USDA/ERS

  41. Conclusions • Demand: Strong income growth in developing countries and increasing population increases import demand for bulk commodities and high-value products. • Production: Slower producivity growth, but still nearly sufficient to maintain global level of per capita production. • Trade: Continued growth in global trade in most agriculture commodities. But trade continues to be very competitive. • Prices: Prices for farm products, after adjusting for inflation, will decline more slowly than in past decades.
