GLOBAL GRAIN & FEED MARKETS
Every issue GFMT’s market analyst John Buckley reviewsworld trading conditions which are impacting the full range
of commodities used in food and feed production. Hisobservations will influence your decision-making.
AFTER nail-biting delays to
sowing in the late spring
and early summer, the all-
important US feedgrain
and soyabean crops were blessed
with mostly favourable weather in
August and September, even avoidingthe hard, damaging frosts that often
occur in October. Crop analysts began
to prepare for record yields and output,
some even talking of a possible supply
glut which, at a time of lackluster
demand from US and overseas livestock
industries, might have pushed down
prices of inputs across the feed sector.But in October, that incredible run of
luck finally began to run out as theheavens opened and some of the major
states found ripening harvests sitting
under some of the wettest conditions
on record for this time of year.
Fortunately for consumers, crops so far have
weathered the ‘Monsoon’ autumn remarkably
well – possibly because the late start to sowing
had also put maturity in many of the affected areas
at a record slow pace – so many crops were well
off ‘harvest-ready’. Nonetheless, as this issue
goes to press with less than half the soya crop
gathered and three quarters of maize still in the
field, the ultimate size and quality of the 2009 US
feed crops still hangs in the balance.The US ‘weather market’ has had a dramatic
effect on prices across the global gr ain and feed
sector in the past month, hauling them up from
the September lows – even dragging wheat value
higher in the face of huge – and still growing -
supplies. The strength has spilled into European
markets where farmers and their customers h ad
been in a standoff for week s amid differing views
on grain value. However, this is no runaway bull
market yet, not least because consumers are not
yet chasing it up.
For maize and other coarse grains, the key
restraint is slack US demand from the livestock
sector, partly down to weaker meat export trade,
partly due to the recession within the US itself.
World import demand for maize has fallen right
off at the higher prices, with b uyers waiting for
the full harvest flush to
bring better bargains – or
switching to still abundant
and relatively cheap feed
wheat.
Against that, the still
relatively cheap price
of maize and the rally in
crude oil prices over the
late summer months does
now seem to be breathing
fresh life into the ailing US

corn ethanol industry, already tipped
to take an extra 12.7m tonnes this
season. Strong ethanol demand that
could help push up the cost of maize
is not welcomed by the main outlets
in the feed sector.
However, it will
at least increase
s u p p l i e s o f
by-products,
dried distillers’
grains, for the
more traditional
users.
For soya thema in anchor
on prices is
the prospect
of record Latin
American crops, already being sown this
autumn at a fast pace which, if the weather
cooperates, could land an extra 30m tonnes
on the market early next year. Who will take
all the extra meal? China may be a voracious
soya buyer but demand will need to pick
up in Europe, Asia, Latin America and the
US itself to prevent prices easing into first
half 2010.
Wheat, which relies on feed demand
for about a sixth of its global co nsumption
has been forced to follow the firmer price
trend inspired by US weather threats to
maize and soya. Prices at the top end of
the milling wheat market are also being
pushed up by less than stellar quality from
much of this year’s North American hard
winter and spring harvests, often carried
out under damp conditions, by the collapse
of Argentina’s breadwheat exports. Much of
the export demand for wheat, especially in
the US market, is also tending to focus on the
hard and better quality wheats, helping to
push prices up and widen quality premiums.
That said, fundamentals offer no real support
to the soft wheats that make up the largest
share of world production. These are once
again in huge supply – in the US, the EU and
the former Soviet countries.
Prices of feed and milling grains have
also remained under the strong influence
of ‘outside’ markets during the last quarter
during which a constant barrage of conflicting
economic news has driven equity and
commodity markets both ways. A pivotal
factor has been the weak dollar, running at its
lowest level against other major currencies for
well over a year and along with still relatively
cheap freight rates offering consumers in
most of the big wheat and feedgrain consumer
countries a good deal at these prices.
For the ‘macro markets’, the big question
is whether US currency weakness (which
could paradoxically increase as the US/
world economy recovers) and the huge
US, European and Chinese fiscal spending
programmes of recent months will ultimately
translate into hyper-inflation down the road.
Banks and investment houses are constantly
touting this theme, many betting on higher
prices of grains
and other key
commodities in
later 2010/early
2011. They have
the funds and
the muscle to
help bring about
these prophecies themselves but not to
hold markets up indefinitely if the supply/
demand fundamentals turn against them.
Early pointers to supply for 2010 suggest
world wheat area will – as we’ve indicated
in recent issues - decline in the face of
low prices. Maize sowings might lose outfurther to soyabeans, in the US and South
America, as the price ratio between the
two remains wider than usual. However,
for the Northern Hemisphere producers,
many of these potential shifts will not be
decided until second quarter 2010, when
sowing weather will be just as important as
grain/oilseed price ratios in deciding wheat
farmers grow.
Maize
– will US harvest avoid a
washout?
The US grows over 40% of the world’s
maize and accounts for 60-70% of exports,
making up the largest component of global
feed trade. Clearly, the size of the US crop is
key to feed costs around the globe. Markets
were reminded of that in October when
incessant wet weather and delayed crop
maturity kept farmers from harvesting what
could have been the biggest US crop ever.
Early in the month, many analysts felt USDA
was under-estimating this at just under
2007’s record 331m tonnes. By end-October,
however, estimates were starting to slide
toward 325m or less. Wet crops, lack of

World import demand for maize has
slackened off in October, helping to keep
prices under control. This probably reflects
buyers waiting for the US harvest picture to
clear and, hopefully, prices to fall.
WHEAT – volatile prices but ...
... world crop keeps growing A large and growing supply surplus of on
the world market has not prevented the value
of wheat fluctuating over a wide range during
the past two months. Trader s blame several
factors, most emanating from the influential
Chicago soft red winter wheat futures market
where ‘outside’ investors – mainly speculative
funds – had sold the market heavily short,
anticipating prices would keep dropping.
As analysts began to see a bottom, even a
potential bounce, some warned the selling
had been overdone and the market began
to anticipate heavy ‘short-covering’ by the
funds to protect their exposure. This didn’t
happen immediately, because of the sheer
weight of supply from the recently harvested
and approaching Northern Hemisphere
wheat crops that make up the bulk of world
wheat output – underlined by still growingestimates of final production from bodies like
the International Grains Council and the US
Department of Agriculture. The funds and
other short sellers also needed a c atalyst to
encourage a change from selling the buying.
That eventually came from two factors. The
over-riding influence was a slumping US
dollar, raising the face value of grain exports
and, paradoxically, providing evidence that
the US economy was finally starting to come
out of recession – a potentuial stimulus for
in the USA. As we
go to press, US No
3 yellow corn for
export is quoting
over $187/tonne
compared w i th
$150 in September
but this is not a bad
price compared with
almost $195 earlier
in the year and over
$300 at the start of
last year. Buyers
are also getting a
bonus from the weaker dollar which has
knocked about 15% off the real cost for
many importing countries in the past year –
and from cheaper ocean freight rates over
that period (although these appear to be
hardening up in late October).
Maize prices may also draw support from
the lack of competition on world export
markets this year. Argentina – the normal
No 2 supplier – is facing its second poor crop
in a row (harvested early 2010) and will cut
exports accordingly. That is offset somewhat
by continuing improvements in exports from
Brazil where larger crops have been grownin recent years and stocks have built up
enough to expand exports if needed in the
year ahead. Brazil
tends to discount
the US price
too. However,
less competition
will be coming
f ro m f o rme r
Soviet countries,
where crops are
smaller. China,
often a bigger
export supplier
than Argentina
in the past, has
seen drought
trim about 10m
tonnes of its crop
this year and with
growing domestic feed demand already taking
up all the slack, is unlikely to figure much in
exports this season.
While exports may be down from other
maize suppliers, the US still faces potentially
stiff competition from feed wheat of which
there is still a lot available on the world
market – in CIS countries, Europe and North
America.
drying facilities and ever-present threats of
autumn freezes also raised questions about
how much of the crop would grade adequate
quality.
With many analysts predicting the harvest,
instead of wrapping up in October, will run
well into November, possibly even the New
Year in Northern states, an accurate picture
of size and quality is clearly some way off.
However, assuming that some promised drier
weather in coming month does allow the
bulk of harvest to complete, the US should
be able to meet all the currently estimated
domestic (276m) and export demand (54.5m
tonnes) without dipping into the reasonablycomfortable surplus stocks it carried into
2009/10 on September 1.
Forward futures prices for maize point
‘North’ with a premium of about 40/45c/
bushel – about $17.50/tonne anticipating
a slightly tighter market by latter 2010.
Whether that happens depends also on
how much maize the US plants next spring.
Although the ethanol juggernaut is slowing
down (compulsory requirements for the US
fuel industry to use renewables will expand
far more slowly from next season onward),
feed demand might be expected to pick up
from two flat years if the recession really is
coming to an end – so more maize will be
needed for 2 010/11.
Europe’s maize crop has, as expected
earlier, taken a dip this season. Planted area
was down by about 3% but yields fell by a
much larger 7%, knocking about 5m tonnes
off production at just under 58m. This should
not, by itself, put too much upward pressure
on prices as demand for maize in Europe is
also seen down by about 4m tonnes while
about 7m tonnes of stocks were carried in
from 2008/09 compared with only 4.5m the
previous year.
Support is coming from the global maize
market, however, driven in turn by the events
Gain&fd illinG thnlGy34 | november-december 2009
COMMODITIES
Canada and Australia in North Africa, the
Middle East and further afield.
Among the other major wheat suppliers,
Canada has experienced some problems with
below-normal temperatures, rain and snow
delaying the last 10% or so of its spring wheat
harvest, the slowest pace in five years. Yields
have been better than expected but concerns
have been mounting about the quality of
unharvested crops resulting in the export
price of these hard milling wheats rising from
a low of $257 two months ago to $292/
tonne recently (CWRS 13.5% protein fob
St Lawrence).
To some extent this rise has also followed
the US market for hard milling wheats which
is being influenced by some mixed results
on the quality front there too. Most of the
spring wheat harvest managed to escape the
worst of the weather but protein content
and falling numbers are seen lower than l ast
year’s – although test weights are higher.
However, due to bet ter than expected yields,
the production forecast has been r aised for
both spring bread and durum wheats. As
in Canada, US hard wheat prices have risen
recently with Dark Northern Spring (14%
protein, fob Gulf) quoting $280 as we goto press compared with a low of $257 in
September and Hard Red Winter wheat at
$207 ($190).
Rain in Argentina has recently boosted
prospects a little for Argentina’s crop which
got off to a poor start for the second year
running amid dry conditions. Because area
sown is again well down, the crop will again
be unusually small with exports not likely to
get much beyond 1.5m tonnes - a very poor
result for a country that normally supplies
the world with 10m to 12m tonnes of most
good quality bread wheat.
Forward supply outlook
Planting of winter wheat in the northern
hemisphere mostly progressed well, despite
dry conditions in parts of Europe, the Black
Sea region and Near East Asia although
falling prices since mid-2009 prompted some
growers, especially in the US, to reduce
sowings, according to a recent IGC review.
The Council expects global area in 2010 to
end up smaller than this year’s but stresses
that much depends on spring wheat planting
decisions as well as the subsequent southern
hemisphere sowing season. In the EU, rain
generally favoured winter planting and
also notes that exceptionally good quality is
reported in the Baltic States, with as much
as 95% graded milling wheat in Lithuania.
Further east, Russia, ideal weather aided
the completion of the spring wheat harvest
in Siberia with the total crop raised seen at
60m tonnes – just 3.7m tonnes short of last
year’s bumper 63.7m output after higher
than expected yields in Central regions/
Urals offset reductions in southern areas.
Ukraine’s crop is estimated at 20m – about
5.9m less than last year but still way bigger
than the average of recent years. Harvest was
also completed under favourable weather
in Kazakhstan where the crop forecast was
raised to 14.5m compared with last year’s
13m. F or the former Soviet Union as a whole,
the harvest is expected to be around 8m less
than last year. Bearing in mind that these
countries have carried about 19m tonnes
of stocks into
the new season
– almost double
last year’s level, it
seems clear that
these prominent
exporters will
have plenty tosell to the world
market. In recent
weeks, prices
coming out of
these ‘Black Sea’
wheat exporters
have been firmer
than one might
expect amid good harvests, narrowing the
frequently large discounts that they tend
to offer against EU and other mainly soft
wheats. Although these countries normally
tended to ‘front load’ their export sales
campaigns, they are probably being a little
less aggressive at this stage because of the
unusually low world wheat price and because
of one or two weather risks looming for next
year’s crops, (chiefly dryness at sowing time
in parts of Russia and Ukraine). However,
even without the big discounts, Russia
and Ukraine have still taken a lot of the
‘opportunity’ business going to countries
like Egypt and other Near East/North African
buyers, helping to keep world export values
of wheat down. If their crops go in normally
and avoid a severe winter, we can probably
expect more competition from the east in
world export markets, particularly those
most heavily contested by Europe, the US,
consumer demand across the US and global
grain and feed sector. The second factor
was the record late US maize and soyabean
harvest, threatening to raise the inherent
value of these crops and, with them, wheat
too. Allied to that, US farmers’ inability to get
maize and soya crops out of the field was also
holding up the sowing of winter wheat crops
to be harvested next year on the same l and,
pointing to a likely shrinkage in area sown for
these, especially the soft red types the form
the basis for Chicago futures and, of course,
make up the bulk of Europe’s wheat crop.
However, while these factors did briefly
drive the wheat price up by almost $20 a
tonne in just one week of late October,
the excitement appeared to be over by
early November as fresh economic jitters
surfaced, analysts downplayed the effect of a
smaller US SRW crop and world production
estimates continued to edge higher.
Among these there have been some
exceptions, not least in Europe itself where
the IGC has just cut its crop estimate by 2.4m
to 136.6m tonnes (versus l ast year’s 151.2m),
including 128.4m. (141.2m.) of soft wheat,
following revisions for France, Germany,
Romania, Spain and the UK. The good news
is that this is still a big crop by any measure
and the proportion of milling quality will be
similar to last year’s at about 70%. Looking
at the main players, Germany expects
25.1m tonnes (26.0m) with protein content
slightly lower than last year but Hagberg
values higher. France should produce 38.8m
(39.5m.) with about 90% milling quality but
proteins averaging 11.3% - slightly lower than
last year as well as the f ive-year average of
11.9%. In t he UK itself, lower area and lower
yields caused a sharper fall in production to
14m from last year’s 17.3m tonnes. The IGC

Perry of OakleyUnited Kingdom
Perry of Oakley Ltd is a family owned designer and manufacturer of grain driers and mate-
rials handling equipment. All equipment is manufactured in the UK at our purpose built
factory.
Our grain driers are suitable for the drying of all cereal crops including Maize, wheat, Barley,
Oats and oil seed rape. The driers have a capacity up to 150 tph and are in use world-
wide. The PERRY range of handling equipment offers specifications and capacities to suit on
farm use to heavy duty commercial grain store applications. Our handling equipment range
includes chain and flight conveyors, Belt and Bucket elevators, Belt conveyors, Mechanical
intake pits and screw conveyors.
2009 in the UK saw an increase in the number of smaller capacity grain driers ordered. I
think this reflected the number of farmers with very small driers who had struggled in the
wet harvest of 2008. These farmers wanted to remain independent of the central grain
stores and maintain there own drying facility but they did not need large capacity driers
because of the relatively small amount of cereals they grow.
For 2010 enquiry levels and orders placed to date are good with an even mix of small and
medium to large capacity driers being ordered. Our investment in fully automated punching
and forming equipment as well as increasing the size of our stores facility should see PERRY
well placed to deal with forthcoming orders both in the UK and worldwide
