WASDE - 480   March 10, 2010


WHEAT:   U.S. wheat ending stocks for 2009/10 are 
projected 20 million bushels higher as a reduction in 
expected food use pushes ending stocks to 1 billion bushels. 
 Projected food use is lowered 20 million bushels based on 
the latest mill grind data from the U.S. Bureau of Census.  
High flour extraction rates for a second straight year are 
reducing the amount of grain needed to produce flour.  At the 
same time, declining per capita consumption is reducing 
demand for flour and wheat.  Exports of all wheat are 
unchanged, but hard red winter wheat exports are raised 10 
million bushels with an offsetting reduction for white wheat.  
By-class adjustments reflect the pace of export sales and 
shipments to date.  The projected marketing-year average 
farm price is raised 5 cents on both ends of the range to 
$4.80 to $5.00 per bushel as prices received by producers 
remain stronger than expected.

Global wheat supplies for 2009/10 are projected 2.1 million 
tons higher mostly reflecting higher beginning stocks in 
Russia and higher production in Argentina.  Beginning 
stocks are raised 2.1 million tons for Russia with historical 
revisions to estimated feed use.  Partly offsetting are small 
reductions in 2009/10 beginning stocks for a number of other 
countries reflecting minor revisions to 2008/09 supplies and 
usage.  Argentina production for 2009/10 is raised 0.6 million 
tons on higher reported area.  Partly offsetting is a 0.3-
million-ton reduction in Saudi Arabia production based on 
lower reported area and yields.  A number of other smaller 
changes leave global production up 0.6 million tons this 
month.

Global wheat imports and exports for 2009/10 are both 
raised this month.  Imports are raised 0.4 million tons for 
Bangladesh and 0.3 million tons for South Korea with 
smaller increases for a number of other countries.  Partly 
offsetting are small reductions in imports for Israel, Mexico, 
Tunisia, and Colombia.  Exports are raised 0.5 million tons 
for Argentina and 0.2 million tons each for Brazil, India, and 
Serbia.  Most of the trade adjustments this month reflect the 
pace of reported shipments to date.  Global 2009/10 wheat 
consumption is raised 1.2 million tons with a 1.0-million-ton 
increase in China wheat feeding and a 0.8-million-ton 
increase in India food use.  The reduction in U.S. food use is 
partly offsetting.  Global ending stocks are projected 0.9 
million tons higher with larger stocks in Russia and the 
United States only partly offset by reductions elsewhere.  At 
196.8 million tons, 2009/10 world stocks are up 73.5 million 
tons or 60 percent from the recent low in 2007/08.
 
COARSE GRAINS:  U.S. feed grain supplies for 2009/10 are 
projected slightly lower with a downward revision in 
estimated corn production and a reduction in projected 
barley imports.  Corn production is lowered 20 million 
bushels based on updated estimates of yields for Illinois and 
Minnesota, and harvested area for Michigan.  U.S. corn 
production remains a record at the revised estimate of 13.1 
billion bushels.  U.S. corn exports are lowered 100 million 
bushels as larger foreign supplies increase competition.  
U.S. corn ending stocks for 2009/10 are projected 80 million 
bushels higher with the downward revision in production 
more than offset by reduced export prospects.  

The projected 2009/10 marketing-year average farm price 
for corn is lowered 20 cents on the top end of the range to 
$3.45 to $3.75 per bushel.  Projected farm prices are also 
lowered for sorghum and oats.  The all barley farm price is 
projected higher at $4.40 to $4.60 per bushel compared with 
$4.25 to $4.55 per bushel last month.  Farmer marketings of 
higher priced malting barley make up a larger-than-normal 
share of total barley sales, compared with feed barley, 
boosting the weighted average price for all barley.

Global coarse grain supplies for 2009/10 are projected 5.7 
million tons higher this month mostly reflecting larger global 
corn supplies.  Coarse grain beginning stocks are raised 1.0 
million tons with more than half of the increase from corn as 
an upward revision for 2008/09 production in Argentina and 
lower 2008/09 exports for South Africa boost world corn 
carryin for 2009/10.  World coarse grain production for 
2009/10 is raised 4.7 million tons with higher corn and 
sorghum production more than offsetting lower barley, rye, 
and mixed grain output.  

World corn production for 2009/10 is raised 5.9 million tons 
with Argentina production increased 3.8 million and South 
Africa production increased 2.0 million.  Harvested area and 
yield are raised for both countries as abundant soil moisture 
and lack of stressful heat during the past month supported 
crops through critical stages of development.  Partly 
offsetting is a 0.5-million-ton reduction for India corn and the 
lower U.S. corn production estimate.  Global sorghum 
production is raised 0.6 million tons with increases for 
Argentina and India outweighing a reduction for Australia.  
Global barley production is lowered 1.2 million tons with 
reductions for China, Argentina, and Mexico.  Lower world 
rye and mixed grain production reflect reductions for EU-27.

Global coarse grain imports and exports for 2009/10 are 
largely unchanged, but major shifts among exporters mostly 
reflect larger corn supplies in Argentina and South Africa.  
Corn exports are raised 2.5 million tons for Argentina and 
1.0 million tons for South Africa.  Corn exports are also 
raised 0.5 million tons for India.  Mostly offsetting are corn 
export reductions of 1.0 million tons for Brazil and 2.5 million 
tons for the United States.  Global corn exports are raised 
0.7 million tons, but a 0.6-million-ton reduction in global 
barley exports is nearly offsetting.  Barley exports are 
lowered for EU-27 and Argentina.  Global consumption of 
coarse grains and corn, in particular, are little changed, 
raising ending stocks with the increase in production.  Global 
corn ending stocks for 2009/10 are projected 6.1 million tons 
higher with increases in most of the world’s major corn 
exporting countries, including the United States, Argentina, 
South Africa, and Brazil.

RICE: No changes are made on the supply side of the U.S. 
2009/10 rice supply and use balance.  On the use side, 
domestic and residual use is unchanged from a month ago; 
however, all rice exports for 2009/10 are lowered 1 million 
cwt to 100 million.  Rough exports are raised 2 million cwt, 
while combined milled and brown exports (on a rough-
equivalent basis) are lowered 3.0 million.  Long-grain 
exports are lowered 1.0 million cwt to 69.0 million, while 
combined medium- and short-grain exports are unchanged 
at 31.0 million.  All rice ending stocks are projected at 40.8 
million cwt, 1.0 million above last month, and up 10.4 million 
from 2008/09.

The 2009/10 long-grain season-average price is projected at 
$12.70 to $13.20 per cwt, down 20 cents on each end of the 
range from last month.  The combined medium- and short-
grain price is projected at $17.45 to $17.95 per cwt, down 5 
cents on each end of the range.  The all rice season-
average price is forecast at $13.90 to $14.40 per cwt, down 
15 cents on both ends of the range.  The price projections 
are based on the National Agricultural Statistics Service 
reported prices through mid-February and expected prices 
the remainder of the marketing year.  Global prices have 
weakened over the last month due in part to a softening in 
import demand and an increase in available supplies of the 
major exporters.

Global 2009/10 rice production, consumption, trade, and 
ending stocks are increased from last month.  The 4.0-
million-ton increase in world production to 440.3 million is 
due mostly to increases for India and Bangladesh, up 2.5 
million and 1.6 million, respectively.  The production changes 
for both India and Bangladesh are based on information 
received in March from the Agricultural Counselor’s office in 
New Delhi and official in-country statistics.  Small production 
increases are made in the European Union, Cuba, and 
Malaysia.  Production is lowered slightly in Venezuela, Chile, 
and the Philippines.  World consumption is projected at a 
record 440.6 million tons, up 3.4 million from last month, and 
up 1 percent from 2008/09.  The increase in consumption is 
due mostly to increases for India, Bangladesh, and China.  
Vietnam’s 2009/10 exports are raised to 5.75 million tons, 
while China’s exports are lowered to 0.85 million.  Imports 
are raised for the Philippines, Malaysia, Nigeria, and South 
Africa, but lowered for Saudi Arabia and India.  Global 
ending stocks are lowered 1.6 million tons to 90.9 million 
due mostly to a reduction in China’s stocks.  China’s 
2009/10 ending stocks are estimated at 40.8 million tons, 
down 4.4 million from a month ago, and down about 0.5 
percent from 2008/09.  The changes in China’s supply and 
use balance for 2008/09 and 2009/10 are based mostly on a 
report from the Agricultural Counselor’s office in Beijing.  
The report raised domestic consumption in 2008/09 and 
2009/10 by 4.0 million tons and 1.0 million, respectively.  
Partially offsetting the decline in China’s stocks are 
increases for India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and the 
Philippines.

OILSEEDS:  U.S. soybean ending stocks for 2009/10 are 
projected at 190 million bushels, down 20 million from last 
month.  Soybean production is estimated at 3.359 billion 
bushels, down 2 million from the January estimate as 
reported in the March Crop Production report.  Soybean 
exports are raised 20 million bushels to a record 1.420 
billion reflecting the strong export pace to date.  Soybean 
crush is raised 10 million bushels to 1.730 billion based on a 
lower projected soybean meal extraction rate.  Total soybean 
meal use remains unchanged as higher projected exports 
are offset by reduced domestic disappearance.  Soybean oil 
stocks are projected higher due to increased production and 
lower domestic food use.  Soybean oil used for biodiesel is 
unchanged at 2.2 billion pounds despite a drop in production 
in January resulting from the loss of the $1.00 per gallon 
blending tax credit at the end of 2009.  Offsetting production 
gains are expected later in the year as diesel suppliers 
increase blending to meet biodiesel mandates.

The U.S. season-average soybean price range for 2009/10 
is narrowed to $8.95 to $9.95 per bushel.  The soybean meal 
price is projected at $280 to $310 per short ton compared 
with $270 to $320 previously.  The soybean oil price is 
projected at 33.5 to 36.5 cents per pound, unchanged from 
last month.

Global oilseed production for 2009/10 is projected at 435.3 
million tons, up 1.6 million tons from last month.  Higher 
projections for soybeans, peanuts, rapeseed, and palm 
kernel are only partly offset by lower cottonseed and 
sunflowerseed production.  Global soybean production is 
raised 0.9 million tons to 255.9 million.  Soybean production 
for Brazil is projected at a record 67 million tons, up 1 million 
from last month based on higher yields and harvested area.  
Soybean production for Paraguay is reduced due to lower 
harvested area.  Global cottonseed production is reduced 
mostly due to reductions for China and Uzbekistan. Other 
changes include increased rapeseed production for 
Australia, increased peanut and sunflowerseed production 
for China, increased palm kernel production for Indonesia, 
and reduced sunflowerseed production for South Africa.  
Palm oil production was increased for Indonesia for both 
2008/09 and 2009/10.

Global oilseed ending stocks for 2009/10 are projected at 
71.8 million tons, up 0.9 million from last month.  Soybeans 
account for most of the change with increases for Argentina, 
Brazil, and India only partly offset by lower projected U.S. 
stocks.

SUGAR:  Projected 2009/10 sugar supply is decreased 
30,000 short tons, raw value, from last month, due to lower 
cane sugar production for Texas.  On the use side, deliveries 
of sugar are reduced 50,000 tons, based on pace to date.

For Mexico, projected 2009/10 sugar supply is increased 
50,000 metric tons, raw value, from last month.  Production 
is decreased 200,000 tons based on continued reports of 
weather-reduced sugar yields.  Imports are increased 
250,000 tons based on the import quota announced by 
Mexico in February.  On the use side, consumption of sugar 
is reduced 300,000 tons to account for increased 
substitution by corn-based sweeteners.  Mexico=s ending 
stocks of sugar are increased 350,000 tons.

LIVESTOCK, POULTRY, AND DAIRY:  Total U.S. meat 
production for 2010 is reduced as lower pork and turkey 
production more than offset higher broiler production.  Beef 
production is little changed as higher first-quarter steer and 
heifer slaughter is offset by lower carcass weights.  Winter 
weather has stressed cattle in many parts of the country 
which is reflected in lighter carcass weights.  Pork 
production is lowered as slaughter in the first and second 
quarters are reduced and weights during the first quarter 
have been lighter than expected.  USDA will release the 
Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report on March 26, which will 
provide an indication of producer responses to moderating 
feed prices and improved hog prices.  The turkey production 
forecast is reduced.  Relatively weak turkey prices in 2009 
reduced incentives to expand production and hatchery data 
continues to point to lower production in 2010.  Broiler 
production is forecast higher as hatchery and slaughter data 
point to larger production in the first quarter.  

Export forecasts are unchanged from last month for the 
major meats.  Although the recent resolution of pork sanitary 
issues will permit exports to Russia, exports to that market 
will be limited by import quotas.

Cattle, hog, and poultry price forecasts are raised for 2010 
as tighter meat supplies are forecast this month.

The milk production forecast is raised for 2010 with milk 
production expected to be fractionally above 2009.  Cow 
slaughter is relatively low and January milk cow numbers 
were higher than expected.  The pace of herd reduction is 
slowed from last month.  Dairy exports on both a fat and 
skim-solids basis for 2010 are lowered, due to slightly 
weaker-than-expected international demand during the early 
part of the year.  Imports for 2009 are adjusted to reflect 
December trade.  Fat and skim-solids ending stocks are 
forecast higher for 2010 as production is increased and 
exports are reduced.  Cheese prices are reduced as higher 
stocks are expected to pressure prices.  Butter price 
forecasts are raised slightly on the strength of current 
demand although higher milk supplies and weaker cheese 
prices may encourage higher butter production pressuring 
prices later in the year.  Nonfat dry milk (NDM) prices are 
forecast lower as export demand lags.  Whey prices are 
raised slightly reflecting recent market strength.  The Class 
III price is reduced as weaker cheese prices more than 
outweigh gains in whey prices.  The Class IV price forecast 
is lowered reflecting weaker NDM prices which more than 
offset higher butter prices.  The all milk price for 2010 is 
forecast at $15.55 to $16.15 per cwt.

COTTON:  The U.S. cotton estimates for 2009/10 include 
higher domestic mill use and lower ending stocks this month. 
 Production and exports are unchanged.  Domestic mill use 
is raised 100,000 bales to 3.5 million, reflecting higher 
consumption in the months of November through January.  
Ending stocks are forecast at 3.2 million bales, 20.6 percent 
of total use.  The range for the marketing-year average price 
received by producers is raised 1.5 cents on the lower end 
and 0.5 cents on the higher end to 60.5 to 65.5 cents per 
pound.

A combination of slightly lower production and slightly higher 
consumption is reducing forecast world cotton 2009/10 
ending stocks from last month.  Production is reduced for 
China and Uzbekistan, but raised for Brazil and 
Turkmenistan.  Consumption estimates are raised for Turkey, 
Vietnam, and the United States, partially offset by a 
reduction for Pakistan, which is based on a recent policy 
change to limit yarn exports.  World trade is raised 2 
percent, reflecting higher imports by China, Turkey, and 
Vietnam, which more than offset a decrease for Pakistan.  
World stocks are reduced nearly 700,000 bales, a decline of 
just over 1 percent from last month.
