India Corn Exports Competitive Regionally After over a year of high domestic corn prices, a contraction in poultry feed demand due to COVID-19 has led to a substantial easing of prices, making India corn exports competitive in the South Asia region once again. Currently, these are forecast at 1.8 million tons for 2020/21, which, if realized, would be the largest export volume since 3.9 million tons in 2013/14. From 2014 to mid-2018, the national average domestic corn price was approximately $200 per ton, shooting up to $275 per ton by July 2019 due to production concerns and strong domestic use. Exports to Bangladesh, and to a lesser extent Nepal, have expanded considerably beginning in July 2020. This has occurred as prices returned to pre-2018 levels amid the drop in domestic poultry feed demand and record high production in 2020/21.

WHEAT

WHEAT PRICES Domestic: U.S. wheat export quotes were little changed since the February WASDE. Soft White Winter (SWW) had the largest change, declining $13/ton to $294 as sales slowed somewhat, although SWW exports continue to be significantly higher than last year. Hard Red Winter (HRW) also declined $6/ton to $282 on lack of demand, both domestically and abroad as U.S. wheat is uncompetitive in several export markets in the Western Hemisphere. Hard Red Spring (HRS) climbed $8/ton to $295 and Soft Red Winter (SRW) at $284/ton was little changed.

OVERVIEW FOR 2020/21 Global production is raised to a new record this month with a record crop in Australia. Global consumption is higher mainly on more feed and residual use in China. Global trade is lifted to a record with higher imports for China, Pakistan, and Nigeria. Exports are raised for Australia and Canada. The projected U.S. season-average farm price remains at $5.00 per bushel.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 3 March 2021Global Market Analysis

Global: Wheat prices rose in most major exporting countries since last month’s WASDE amid the implementation of Russia’s export policies and concerns with winter wheat conditions in the United States and Black Sea, combined with strong import demand from several major markets. Most major exporter quotes are trading within a narrow range, though over the past month Argentine quotes have fallen, reflecting abundant supplies after its recent harvest. Despite new supplies also available in Australia, quotes there have trended up on strong demand from Asian markets.

MARKET FEATURE Despite Record Imports, U.S. Wheat Struggles to Regain Market Share in Nigeria Nigeria wheat imports are forecast at a record 5.5 million tons in the 2020/21 trade year (Jul/Jun), up slightly from the previous year. The European Union has been the leading supplier in 2020/21, accounting for over 1.0 million tons between July and December—doubled from the same period last year. Imports from Russia and Canada trail behind at 800,000 and 700,000 tons, respectively. The United States, meanwhile, has exported only 600,000 tons of wheat to Nigeria so far this trade year. Over the past decade, Nigeria has become a price-sensitive wheat market. The economy depends on oil exports for a large share of its revenue and foreign exchange. Therefore, its foreign exchange reserves required to import agricultural goods fluctuate with the prices of oil and gas markets. As foreign exchange reserves dwindle, the Nigerian government has implemented policies that require domestic mills to source foreign exchange from higher-rate informal forex markets. That, paired with a devalued currency, has challenged Nigerian wheat importers. Despite this economic turmoil, wheat consumption continues to rise with population growth and Nigeria continues to import wheat in large volumes. With food price inflation running rampant and access to foreign exchange limited, wheat importers are forced to find the most cost-effective option, which includes reducing imports from the United States in favor of lower-priced competitors. Historically, U.S. wheat dominated the Nigerian market, often capturing over 90 percent of the country’s annual wheat imports. Market share has eroded over the past decade, especially in 2014/15 when oil prices declined. Nigerian millers and food processors found that they could import lower-quality wheat from the Black Sea and Eastern Europe at a lower price and blend it with U.S. HRW wheat, thus reducing production costs and wheat product prices for consumers. Eventually, the United States was displaced by Russia as the leading supplier in 2017/18 and has since struggled to maintain its top position. So far in 2020/21, the United States has only captured 20 percent of the Nigeria wheat market. Export prospects for the latter half of the trade year, however, are more promising. Russia’s wheat export tax, tight supplies in the European Union, and competitive prices for the United States have contributed to outstanding sales of U.S. HRW to Nigeria being more than double what they were last February. Although U.S. wheat is periodically competitive against EU and Russia wheat, regaining a dominant market share in Nigeria will continue to prove difficult given its freight disadvantage.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 5 March 2021Global Market Analysis

MARKET FEATURE Tight Wheat Stocks Among China and Top Exporters Constrain Global Stock Growth

The global wheat stocks-to-use ratio is anticipated to decline in 2020/21 despite record production, with consumption up more than 10 percent from the prior year on more use in China and India. Global stocks are up only marginally from 2019/20. Approximately half of stocks are held by China, where the government has encouraged sustained large production by guaranteeing a high minimum purchase price. In turn, the government has purchased large volumes of wheat over the past several years, leading to temporary reserves in excess of a year’s supply. However, high domestic corn prices over the past year have induced the sale of substantial quantities of old-crop wheat stocks at government auctions, which is expected to be used for feed. Thus, China’s stocks are forecast to decline for the first time in 8 years as consumption rises by more than 15 percent. Similarly, ending stocks among the top 8 exporters1 are projected to collectively decline. The largest reductions are forecast for the United States and the European Union, which both had smaller crops. Major exporter stocks are usually an indicator of the overall supplies available to the world. However, Russia, the largest exporter, has set both an export quota and an export tax to encourage more wheat to remain within the country to quell high consumer prices. While Russia’s food use is forecast slightly higher, its stocks are forecast to expand, the largest increase in stocks among major exporters. Stocks in India are also forecast to expand. Similar to the situation in China, the government has been supporting producers with high prices for many years which has in turn resulted in high stocks. This year, stocks are expected to grow, despite higher consumption, as the government distributes subsidized wheat to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic. Ample stocks also allow India to become a significant exporter once again, with 2020/21 exports forecast at 2.5 million tons, more than triple the amount of the previous trade year.

OVERVIEW FOR 2020/21 Global rice production is forecast slightly higher this month primarily on a larger crop in India offsetting lower production in Bangladesh and Australia. Global consumption is raised, mostly on higher use in India. Global stocks are marginally lower with downward revisions for Bangladesh and Australia. Global trade is forecast nearly unchanged as higher exports for India are offset by lower exports for Thailand and Brazil.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 8 March 2021Global Market Analysis

MARKET FEATURE India Expands Exports to Price-Sensitive Sub-Saharan Africa

Sub-Saharan Africa is the world’s largest rice importing region, accounting for one-third of global imports. While the region’s production has increased, it remains heavily dependent on rice imports. Sub-Saharan Africa consumption has risen nearly 10 percent in the last 5 years so that now imports account for more than two-fifths of its consumption. Within the region, West African countries as well as South Africa, Mozambique, and Kenya are major import destinations. Sub-Saharan countries generally import from the most price-competitive supplier. This tendency led to a sharp expansion of Indian rice to the region in 2020. Between 2015 and 2020, Sub-Saharan Africa imports have grown by more than one-fourth. Thailand and India have historically been the two major suppliers to this region. Since 2019, India has gained substantial market share at Thailand’s expense. In the last 2 years, India has had consecutive record crops while Thailand’s crops have been limited by drought. The impacts of those differing crop sizes on their export prices have had a major effect on the market share each country has in Sub-Saharan Africa. India has gone from one-third market share in Sub-Saharan Africa’s rice import market in 2015 to more than two-fifths percent in 2020. In 2020, India expanded trade to the region while other exporters declined. China began exporting to the region in

2017 at very competitive prices that were likely sourced from older rice auctioned from state reserves. However, as China began diverting rice from stocks to domestic feed use in 2020, China’s exports to Africa declined, a trend that may continue into 2021. Vietnam saw a slight decrease in exports in 2020 as a result of export restrictions due to COVID-19 last spring and a spike in its prices. Despite relatively low prices, Pakistan exports were edged out by India which had the lowest prices of major exporters. Burma has made steady gains since beginning to supply the region in late 2016, but its exports to Africa declined in 2020 amid export quotas and stiff competition from India. The recent coup and subsequent instability are likely to slow its pace of exports to Sub-Saharan Africa. TRADE CHANGES IN 2021 (1,000 MT)

CORN PRICES Global: Since the February WASDE, major corn export bids are mostly unchanged with the exception of Argentina. Argentine bids are down $11/ton to $238 as weather concerns have eased; Argentine corn is now the least expensive of the major exporters’. Brazilian bids are down $1/ton to $276, remaining elevated as the second-crop planting in the state of Mato Grosso remains well behind the 5-year average. Black Sea bids are unchanged at $264/ton. U.S. bids are up slightly by $4/ton to $255 with little fresh demand.

MARKET FEATURES Hot Demand for U.S. Sorghum At the end of February, U.S. sorghum outstanding sales for delivery by August 2021 stand at 2.8 million tons, the second-largest volume in history. Almost three-quarters of these sales are slated to go to China, while the rest is mostly reported for unknown destinations. Sales to traditional markets, Japan and Mexico, have been insignificant. Reflecting robust sales, sorghum prices at Gulf ports have steadily moved up and currently hover around $350 per ton, the highest over the past decade. Most U.S. sorghum is destined for southern China, where animal production is concentrated and demand for feedstuffs runs strong. Imported sorghum has been commonly used as a substitute for corn in feed rations. U.S. sorghum continues to be price competitive relative to domestic corn in the Guangdong area2. Typically, corn prices in Guangdong are modestly higher than northern China. Strong prices are expected to boost 2021/22 U.S. sorghum planting in the spring, leading to larger production3. Exports are projected to reach a record, reflecting larger available supplies and strong foreign demand. There are already 703,000 tons of sales on the books for delivery in 2021/22, an unprecedented volume of sales this early in the year.
