Global rice production is expected to fall for the first time since 2009/10 due to flooding, drought, and extreme heat in several major producing countries. Combined carryin stocks held by top exporters--India, Pakistan, Thailand, the United States, and Vietnam--are the smallest in 4 years, contributing to reduced global supplies. In contrast, consumption continues to expand in line with population growth.
These market fundamentals would normally signal strong prices. However, prices in major exporting countries continue to decline (see page 9), influenced by financial developments and policies. The Thai Baht has depreciated nearly 10 percent against the dollar since January. Thai 100B is now priced around $370 per ton compared to $450 a year ago. Vietnam has repeatedly lowered the minimum export price in an effort to stimulate import demand. Furthermore, large importing countries, particularly Indonesia and the Philippines, pursue self-sufficiency policies, which limit import demand. This month’s reductions in production forecast for Indonesia and the Philippines have only had a small impact on trade.

WHEAT: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE OVERVIEW Global production in 2015/16 is raised to a new record as larger crops in the European Union, Russia, and Ukraine more than offset smaller production in Brazil, Canada, and India. Global trade is up slightly, highlighted by larger imports for Brazil and Philippines and cuts for EU and Indonesia. Exports are raised for EU and Ukraine, but lowered for the United States. The season-average farm price is forecast down from last month. U.S. PRICES:
Domestic: Prices for most U.S. wheat classes were little changed in the last month. Markets are still pressured by abundant global supplies. Hard Red Spring (HRS) edged $1/ton higher to $236, while Hard Red Winter (HRW) eased $1/ton to $217. Soft Red Winter (SRW) and Soft White Wheat (SWW) slipped $6/ton to $202 and $5/ton to $215, respectively.

other exporters. Selected Importers
Brazil is raised 500,000 tons to 7.0 million based on lower production.
European Union is down 500,000 tons to 6.0 million on abundant domestic supplies.
Indonesia is lowered 300,000 tons to 7.8 million based on slower anticipated consumption growth.

RICE: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE
OVERVIEW Global production for 2015/16 is down 2.9 million tons from last month with smaller crops in Burma, China, Egypt, Indonesia, the Philippines and the United States. Global trade is lowered as reductions in Burma and the United States more than offset stronger exports by India. Global consumption and stocks are down slightly.
Export quotes in Thailand, Pakistan and Vietnam continue to fall as import demand remains weak. During the last month, Thai 100B slipped $16/ton to $370/ton; Pakistan 5 percent brokens dropped $50/ton to $330/ton, the lowest since 2011; and Vietnam 5 percent brokens fell $21/ton to $327/ton, the lowest since 2008. A number of factors, including depreciation of Thai and Vietnamese currencies, contributed to tumbling quotes. Quotes for U.S. long-grain rice have climbed sharply from last month, rising $60/ton to $565/ton on expectation of a smaller crop. Consequently, U.S. long-grain rice has become less competitive as the gap between Thai 100B and U.S. long-grain quotes has widened to nearly $200/ton, the largest since April 2014. SELECTED TRADE CHANGES for 2015 India’s exports are up 500,000 tons to 11.5 million reflecting strong shipments to the Middle
East and neighboring countries.

Vietnam’s exports are down 500,000 tons to 6.2 million on trade to date.

India’s exports are raised 500,000 tons to 9.5 million to offset reduced shipments from
Burma.
Indonesia’s imports are boosted 200,000 tons to 1.3 million on a smaller crop.
U.S. exports are down 200,000 tons to 3.3 million on reduced exportable supplies and higher projected long-grain prices.

Corn Daily Export Bids
U.S. Gulf Brazil Paranagua Black Sea Argentina Up River
COARSE GRAINS: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE OVERVIEW World corn production in 2015/16 is down with smaller crops in the EU and the United States. Trade is slightly higher, led by stronger demand from EU, Mexico, and Vietnam. Exports for Brazil and Ukraine are raised, more than offsetting a reduction for EU. The U.S. season-average farm price is raised slightly on a smaller crop and tighter carryin. For 2014/15, world production is slightly higher with larger crops in Chile and India. Trade is boosted on stronger demand from China, Mexico, and Vietnam. U.S. exports are up and the season-average farm price is slightly lower. PRICES
Since the release of the August WASDE report, U.S. corn quotes rose $8/ton to $172, widening their premium over South American origins amid lingering concerns over crop yields. Argentine quotes are up $5/ton to $158 as sales of the 2014/15 crop slow seasonally. Brazilian quotes are up just $2/ton to $161 and shipments are expected to accelerate. Black Sea quotes have dropped $18/ton to $173 as the new-crop harvest has progressed, rapidly eroding their premium over U.S. prices.

TRADE CHANGES IN 2015/16 Selected Exporters
Brazilian corn is boosted 1.0 million tons to a new record 29.0 million on greater demand
from the EU and record exportable supplies from the 2014/15 crop.
EU corn is halved to 1.0 million tons on sharply lower crop prospects.
Ukrainian corn is raised 1.0 million tons to 18.5 million because of higher demand from the EU.
Canadian barley is up 200,000 tons to 1.2 million because of greater exportable supplies and strong demand, especially from China.
Russian barley is up 800,000 tons to 4.5 million because of a huge boost to exportable supplies.
Selected Importers
Brazilian corn is lowered 200,000 tons to 600,000 because of large domestic supplies. (Imports for 2014/15 are also down 200,000 tons to 600,000.)
Chilean corn is down 200,000 tons to 1.6 million because of larger crop prospects. (Imports for 2014/15 are down 200,000 tons to 1.4 million.)
EU corn is boosted 1.0 million tons to 16.0 million as domestic supplies are projected sharply lower again this month because of hot, dry conditions.

OTHER NOTES Local Marketing Years (LMY): LMY refers to the 12-month period at the onset of the main harvest, when the crop is marketed (i.e., consumed, traded, or stored). The year first listed begins a country's LMY for that commodity (2015/16 starts in 2015); except for summer grains in certain Southern Hemisphere countries and for rice in selected countries, where the second year begins the LMY (2015/16 starts in 2016). Key exporter LMY’s are:
Wheat Corn Barley Sorghum Argentina (Dec/Nov) Argentina (Mar/Feb) Australia (Nov/Oct) Argentina (Mar/Feb) Australia (Oct/Sep) Brazil (Mar/Feb) Canada (Aug/Jul) Australia (Mar/Feb) Canada (Aug/Jul) China (Oct/Sep) European Union (Jul/Jun) United States (Sep/Aug) China (Jul/Jun) South Africa (May/Apr) Russia (Jul/Jun) European Union (Jul/Jun) United States (Sep/Aug) Ukraine (Jul/Jun) India (Apr/Mar) United States (Jun/May) Kazakhstan (Jul/Jun) Russia(Jul/Jun) Turkey (Jun/May) Ukraine (Jul/Jun) United States (Jun/May)
For a complete list of local marketing years, please see the FAS website (http://www.fas.usda.gov/psdonline/psdAvailability.aspx). 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.
