U.S. Wheat to Maintain Competitiveness in Japan
On October 7, 2019, the United States and Japan signed the U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement. This Agreement enhances market access, allowing American farmers and ranchers to remain competitive to other countries receiving preferential treatment in Japan. Since the United States withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership in January 2017, uncertainty for U.S. agricultural competitiveness developed as signs of a trade agreement with Japan appeared bleak. Concerns grew as the remaining 11 countries progressed forward to implement the multilateral agreement without the United States, renamed the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), followed by another agreement between Japan and the European Union. Japan is not only the third-largest agricultural export market for the United States, but also the third-largest market for U.S. wheat exports. Historically, Japan has been a steady buyer of U.S. wheat as Japanese millers have long held a preference for its quality characteristics. In 2018/19, Japan imported a total of 5.7 million tons of wheat and wheat products with the United States as its largest supplier accounting for 48 percent of imports. Japan mainly imports 3 classes of U.S. wheat: Soft White, Hard Red Spring (HRS), and Hard Red Winter (HRW). HRS and HRW together account for about two-thirds of U.S. wheat exports to Japan and are direct competitors to Canada’s Western Red Spring. Without the U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement, Canada’s duty-free country-specific quota (CSQ) and markup reduction would put the United States at a competitive disadvantage. Australia will also a receive duty-free CSQ and markup reduction; however, Australia’s medium-soft wheat is more comparable to Japanese wheat. Concerns for U.S. wheat export competitiveness to Japan have eased as the Agreement was concluded. Once implemented, U.S. wheat will receive the same markup reduction as CPTPP members and a specified quantity of imports at a preferential tariff rate, generally zero, through the creation of a CSQ. The success of this Agreement will level the playing field for U.S. wheat exports to Japan and allow U.S. wheat to maintain its share of the Japanese market.

WHEAT
WHEAT PRICES
Domestic: Prices for most classes of U.S. wheat rose based on adverse weather in spring wheat growing areas and spillover support from corn and soy markets. Hard Red Winter (HRW) and Soft Red Winter (SRW) gained $13/ton and $16/ton respectively to $209 and $217. Soft White Winter (SWW) rose $6/ton to $228. Hard Red Spring (HRS) skyrocketed $58/ton to $277 based on the wet harvest conditions in spring wheat growing areas in the United States as well as Canada. Concerns abound over the quality of the late-harvested crops.
OVERVIEW FOR 2019/20 Global production is virtually unchanged as a larger EU crop offsets a reduction in Australia. Global trade is lowered with reduced demand for several importers, most notably the United States. Smaller projected exports for Australia and the United States more than offset higher forecast shipments for the European Union. The projected U.S. season-average farm price is lowered $0.10 per bushel to $4.70.

Global: Overall, most exporter prices rose slightly during the month of September, recovering from the harvest pressure of the previous months. U.S. HRW rose, underpinned by crop concerns in U.S. spring wheat areas as well as spillover support from strengthening corn and soy prices. Canada’s prices surged based on cold, wet conditions at harvest. Australia wheat prices wheat surged once again as drought conditions have worsened. EU and Black Sea prices rebounded slightly even in spite of generally good harvest results. Conversely, Argentina’s nearby prices are marginally lower but remain uncompetitive based on seasonally tight supplies.

FEATURES EU Wheat Exports Projected at Highest Level in 4 Years EU wheat exports are projected to rebound to 28.0 million tons due in large part to its bigger crop. Growing conditions across the region were generally good this year, resulting in production of 152.0 million tons, up more than 15 million from last year’s drought-stricken crop. With abundant supplies, exports are projected to rebound in light of competitive pricing with other wheat suppliers, a rebound in global trade, and ample supplies of domestic feed grains. Competitive Pricing: European wheat prices are more competitive with Russia than they were this time last year. EU exports were competitively positioned in the early months of 2019/20 as Russia’s total supplies are smaller based on reduced carryin which more than offsets a slightly larger crop. This stands in contrast to the situation last year, when Russian exports were proceeding at a torrid pace and EU wheat was struggling to reach many regional markets. As indicated by the price chart on the previous page, price quotes for EU (France) as of the end of September are slightly below Russian (Black Sea) quotes. For reference, Russian wheat benefitted from a discount of about $10/MT at the same time last year. With its pricing much improved over the same time last year, EU exports have taken off to a much faster start, as indicated by the weekly export chart seen above1. The price competitiveness of EU wheat is evident in purchases by Egypt, the world’s leading importer. Egypt’s recent public tenders have

resulted in purchases from a variety of sources, including France and Romania, whereas similar tenders a year ago were more dominated by Russian supplies. It is worth noting that in 2018/19, EU wheat exports were backloaded in the second half of the year, taking advantage of a period when Russian supplies became tight. Rising Global Trade: Total global trade is projected to rebound this year and the European Union is positioned to benefit from this rising tide. Global trade is projected up about 5 million tons from 2018/19 when consumption dipped in light of tightening global availability. With Russia having tighter supplies overall, the major beneficiaries of larger global wheat trade are expected to be the European Union and Ukraine. Abundant Feed Grain Supplies: Even with supplies up significantly, EU wheat feed and residual is projected up only 4.0 million tons this year to 56.0 million. Given the ample supplies, wheat feeding could be larger except that barley and corn are still pricing competitively into feed rations. The European Union is expected to have larger supplies of both barley and corn. With EU feed channels not demanding large amounts of wheat, ample supply remains for exporting to international customers. European Union Projected to Partially Close the Gap with Russian Wheat With all of the aforementioned forces in motion, EU wheat exports are positioned for a strong year. The European Union is projected as the second leading wheat exporter in the world. Russia is still forecast to be the world’s top exporter in 2019/20, although down year-to-year, leaving a more competitive landscape for EU wheat exports. Last year, Russia’s exports exceeded the next leading supplier, the United States, by more than 9 million tons. This year, the gap is projected to narrow with Russia wheat exports only 6.0 million tons larger than EU.

RICE
RICE PRICES Global: Over the past month, Thai 100B dipped to $407/ton with an improved crop outlook, while Viet prices lowered slightly to $319/ton. Meanwhile, Indian and Pakistani quotes remained relatively stagnant at $370/ton and $365/ton, respectively. In contrast, U.S. values remained elevated at $555/ton on reduced prospects for new-crop supplies, and Uruguay quotes were steady at $528/ton.
OVERVIEW FOR 2019/20 Global rice production is raised significantly this month, on larger-than-expected crops for Egypt and India. Global trade is nearly unchanged, with increased imports for Indonesia offset by reduced imports forecast for Egypt and lower exports for Brazil. Global stocks are up with higher production more than offsetting increased use. OVERVIEW FOR 2018/19 Global rice production remains at a record, with minimal changes this month. Global trade is down with lower imports for China, and reduced exports for Burma and China. India’s exports are slightly higher.

MARKET FEATURE The Philippines Nearly Ties with China as Top Global Importer In just a few years, the Philippines has emerged as one of the top global importers of rice, nearly on par with China. The Philippines rice imports have nearly quadrupled, from 800,000 metric tons in 2016 to 3.1 million anticipated for 2019, representing 7 percent of total global rice imports. In comparison, China’s share of global rice imports has almost reduced by half, to just over 7 percent. While China rice imports continue to shrink, Philippine purchases provide much-appreciated reprieve from nearby exporters in Southeast Asia. Vietnam is its primary supplier with a market share of about 70 percent, followed by Thailand, Pakistan, and Burma. Nearly all of the Philippines rice imports are long grain milled rice, with a small amount of rough rice from China and India. In March 2019, the Philippines implemented the Rice Tariffication Act which led to a considerable increase in imports and, consequently, decline in domestic prices. While this helped lower inflation, the Philippines adjustment to rice liberalization remains a challenge. On September 11, 2019, the Philippines notified the World Trade Organization (WTO) of an investigation into the surge in imports, in reaction to the farmgate price dropping nearly 30 percent and the resulting loss of income for farmers. The investigation will help determine whether a safeguard measure, which could potentially double the current duty, can be imposed.
As a result of low prices, some rice farmers could shift to other crops such as corn. At the same time, the Philippine government is expanding subsidies and providing aid to farmers impacted by low prices. With a forecast for adequate production and large stocks, Philippine rice imports are expected to decline in 2020, but still remain above the five-year average.

MARKET FEATURE Pet Food Sees Value Growth Despite Smaller Volumes
The value of U.S. dog and cat food5 exports reached nearly $1.5 billion in CY 2018. CY 2019 year-to-date export values through August are 10 percent higher than the same period in 2018. This puts dog and cat food exports on par with hay exports in terms of value and eclipses any other prepared animal feeds. Canada is the primary market for U.S. dog and cat food exports, representing nearly half of the 700,000 metric tons exported in 2018; Japan and Mexico are distantly second and third. The expansion in export values has occurred despite a contraction in volume about a decade ago (roughly corresponding with the global economic downturn), which means that the unit value of pet food exports has increased steadily over this time period. One contributor to this trend could be the growth of “super-premium” products, specifically tailored for a pet’s lifecycle stage or catering to functional and therapeutic needs. Similar to feed for livestock, grains have served as an energy source in dog and cat food. Recently, however, there has been increased attention towards “paleo” or “ancestral” diets for pets, which are high-protein, meat-based diets. These pet foods include more animal-origin ingredients and specifically tout the exclusion of grains or gluten. As pet ownership expands, particularly in higher income households, more consumer spending can be directed to these super-premium products, potentially driving export growth in developed markets like Canada and Japan. In conjunction, economic development in Latin America and Asia will increase disposable incomes, marking an opportunity for growth in exports of standard, grain-containing dog and cat food to these regions as well.

Brazil’s Corn Exports to Thrive
Abundant supplies and competitive prices combined with strong foreign demand have sharply boosted Brazil’s corn exports in 2018/19 (October-September) which completed the year with a new record of 39.0 million tons, well above the previous record of 35.4 million tons in 2015/16. Large supplies from the second crop (safrinha), which typically comes onto the market in August, have greatly boosted exports. Meanwhile, crop uncertainty since May supported strong prices for U.S. corn and lowered U.S. competitiveness to Brazil’s
benefit. While Brazil’s exports to all destinations have expanded this year, exports to traditional U.S. markets such as Mexico and Colombia have grown noticeably. Prospects for Brazil’s corn exports remain bright. The country has ample supplies as production has grown faster than domestic use. The relatively weak real could boost competitiveness of its corn and encourage producer selling. Export terminals along the Amazon river and its tributaries (known as the Northern Arc) have expanded, shortening travel distance and lowering costs from farms in the Center-West to ports. In recent years, corn exports via ports along the river have increased, accounting for a third of exports. In the coming year, tight exportable supplies in the United States could again strengthen Brazil’s exports.

Stocks: Unless otherwise stated, stock data are based on an aggregate of differing local marketing years and should not be construed as representing world stock levels at a fixed point in time. Consumption: World totals for consumption reflect total utilization, including food, seed, industrial, feed, and waste; as well as differences in local marketing year imports and local marketing year exports. Consumption statistics for regions and individual countries, however, reflect food, seed, industrial, feed, and waste only. Trade: All PSD tables are balanced on the different local marketing years. All trade tables contain Trade Year (TY) data which puts all countries on a uniform, 12-month period for analytical comparisons: wheat is July/June; coarse grains, corn, barley, sorghum, oats, and rye are Oct/Sept; and rice is calendar year. EU Consolidation: The trade figures starting from 1999/00 represent the European Union (Croatia plus the former EU-27) and exclude all intra-trade. For the years 1960/61 through 1998/99, figures are the EU-15 and also exclude all intra-trade. EU-15 member states' data for grains are no longer maintained in the official USDA database. Data for the individual NMS-10, plus Bulgaria, Romania, and Croatia, exists only prior to 1999/00. Statistics: (1) Wheat trade statistics include wheat, flour, and selected pasta products on a grain equivalent basis. (2) Rice trade statistics include rough, brown, milled, and broken on a milled equivalent basis. (3) Coarse grains statistics include corn, barley, sorghum, oats, rye, millet, and mixed grains but exclude trade in barley malt, millet, and mixed grains. Unaccounted: This term includes grain in transit, reporting discrepancies in some countries, and trade to countries outside the USDA database.
