Outlook review for the markets ofCereals & OilseedsA comparison of projections byOECD, FAPRI and USDA Ad Hoc World Outlook Conference 2004 Sao Paolo City, Brazil Martin von Lampe Directorate for Food, Agriculture, and Fisheries 24-28 May 2004
Real world grain prices to decrease, but nominal direction less clear… Wheat Maize
… USDA projections consistently below FAPRI & OECD … Rice Soyabeans
… FAPRI closer to OECDexcept for vegetable oils Soya meal Soya oil
OECD assumes stronger US$ … Euro Yen
… and less inflation … USA GDPD* *) USDA: Consumer Price Index
… so differences are even bigger in real USD … Wheat Maize
… or in Euro Wheat Maize
OECD projects strongest demand for wheat … World wheat production World wheat consumption
… similar patterns for coarse grains … World cg production World cg consumption
… but relatively weak supply of oilseeds World os production World os consumption
Where’s the additional trade?- wheat - Add. exports, 2003-13 Add. imports, 2003-13
Where’s the additional trade?- coarse grains - Add. exports, 2003-13 Add. imports, 2003-13
Where’s the additional trade?- oilseeds - Add. exports, 2003-13 Add. imports, 2003-13
Where’s the additional trade?- oilmeals - Add. exports, 2003-13 Add. imports, 2003-13
Where’s the additional trade?- vegetable oils - Add. exports, 2003-13 Add. imports, 2003-13
China:Imports versus stocks Total grain imports* Total grain stock changes *) FAPRI: Net imports
China:Grain prices Wheat Coarse grains
Brazil:How much new area? Total harvested area wheat, coarse grains & oilseeds
Brazil:How much new area? Total harvested area oilseeds only OECD: + 5.7 mio. ha (+31%) FAPRI: + 9.8 mio. ha (+47%) USDA: +13.4 mio. ha (+78%)
Summary(1) • Similar direction of global trends in real prices, but… • USDA prices significantly below FAPRI, OECD above • Differences in projections quite heterogenous • USDA projects weaker demand for wheat, but stronger oilseed supply
Summary(2) • Significant differences in big regions: • China, Brazil, USA, EU, „ROW“ • China • What‘s the future of Chinese imports / how will China respond to deficit? • Brazil • How much new crop land will come into play?
Summary(3) • Developing world in Africa, Asia • How quickly will the food deficit grow? • Yield projections remain crucial • How to improve our yield projections?
