Brazil Soybeans: Brazil Expected to be World’s Leading Soybean Producer Despite Planting Delays Caused by Drought

Brazil’s 2019/20 soybean production is estimated at a record 123 million metric tons (mmt), unchanged from last month and up 6 million tons or 5 percent from last year. Area is estimated at a record 36.9 million hectares, unchanged from last month and up 1 million hectares or 3 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 3.33 tons per hectare, unchanged from last month, but up 2 percent from last year and up 4 percent from the 5-year average. If weather cooperates this growing season, Brazil is expected to overtake the United States as the world’s leading soybean producer.

World Agricultural Production

Brazil’s soybean planting season is from September 16 through December 31 for most states. Most farmers tend to sow immediately after the onset of rains and after the vazio sanitário, which ends on September 16. The vazio sanitário is the mandatory sanitary period where no soybeans or soybean debris can be in the fields. Farmers who irrigate can sow soybeans earlier as long as emergence is after September 16, while other farmers must wait for the onset of rains. Rains typically arrive in mid-September for the largest soybean producing state, Mato Grosso (~33 mmt), and for second largest state producer, Paraná (~19 mmt). The latest states to plant soybeans include: Rio Grande do Sul (~18 mmt) and northeastern states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí, and Bahia, or collectively known as the Matopiba region (~14 mmt).

Planting progress for 2019 was behind the average national pace and some crops are still being planted in early January. The largest planted area delays occurred in Mato Grosso do Sul and Paraná, where most of the crop was planted in late October and November. Irregular rains in November and December caused many Matopiba farmers to replant their soybeans while other farmers will switch to corn with a longer planting window extending into January and February. Crops in Rio Grande do Sul suffered from hot temperatures (>100oF) and extended dry spells in December which reportedly caused poor plant germination, low plant populations, reseeding, and extended soybean planting into early January. Early-planted crops also experienced water stress as these crops entered flowering and pod-filling stages in December. (For more information, please contact [email protected].)

Russia Sunflowerseed: Yield Shatters Previous Record

Russia sunflowerseed production for 2019/20 is estimated at 15.3 million metric tons (mmt), up 6 percent from last month and 20 percent from last year. Total area is estimated at 8.4 million hectares, down 1 percent from last month and 6 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 1.82 tons per hectare, up 7 percent from last month and 14 percent from last year. The month-to-month increase in yield is due to preliminary data from the Russian statistical agency, Rosstat.

Most of the country’s sunflowerseed was produced in three regions for 2019/20: the Volga District (accounting for 37 percent of production), the Southern District (accounting for 29 percent of production), and the Central District (accounting for 26 percent of production). High profitability for sunflowers has caused a steady rise in area since the turn of the century. Investment in hybrid seed varieties has led to increasing yields since 2010. USDA crop production estimates for Russia exclude estimated output from Crimea. (For more information, please contact [email protected].)

Malaysia Palm Oil: Estimated Production Reduced Due to Below Average 2019 Rainfall

USDA estimates Malaysia 2019/20 palm oil production at 20.5 million metric tons (mmt), down 2 percent from last month and down 1 percent from last year. Harvested area is estimated at 5.35 million hectares, unchanged from last month, but up 1 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 3.83 tons per hectare, down 3 percent from last month and down 2 percent from last year.

After above-average rainfall in 2017 and 2018, seasonal rains during 2019 under performed, negatively impacting current palm oil production. Latest reports from the Malaysia Palm Oil Board (MPOB) indicate cumulative crude palm oil (CPO) production for October and November at 3.33 mmt, down 13 percent from last year and the lowest cumulative total for October and November since 2008. On average,

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 4 January 2020Global Market Analysis

October and November represent the highest CPO output in the market year followed by August and September. USDA’s market year for Malaysia palm oil is October through September. (For additional information, please contact [email protected]).

Argentina Sunflowerseed: Area Decreased due to Early Dryness

USDA estimates Argentina sunflower production for 2019/20 at 3.2 million metric tons, down 3 percent from last month and down 16 percent from last year. Area is estimated at 1.6 million hectares, down 3 percent from last month and down 15 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 2.00 tons per hectare, unchanged from last month, but down 2 percent from last year. Planting was slow at the start of the season due to dry conditions. Dry fields in parts of the provinces of Buenos Aires, Cordoba, and in the western sunflower regions slowed or stopped planting progress before rains finally came at the end of December.

Brazil Corn: Record Area and Production

Brazil’s 2019/20 corn production is estimated at a record 101 million metric tons (mmt), unchanged from last month and last year. Area is estimated at a record 18.1 million hectares, unchanged from last month and up 0.6 million hectares or 3 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 5.58 tons per hectare, unchanged from last month, down 3 percent from last year and up 8 percent from the 5-year average.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 5 January 2020Global Market Analysis

Brazil’s first-season (summer or main) corn production has been decreasing since 2007 while second-season (safrinha) corn production has grown and currently comprises approximately three-quarters of Brazil’s total corn production. The largest state producers of first-season corn are Rio Grande do Sul (~6 mmt), Minas Gerias (~4.8 mmt) and Paraná (~3.0 mmt); and largest producers of safrinha corn are the states of Mato Grosso (~31 mmt), Paraná (~12.8 mmt), Mato Grosso do Sul (~9.7 mmt) and Goias (~8.6 mmt).

The first-season corn area is forecast by CONAB (Companhia Nacional de Abastecimento or the National Food Supply Company), an agency of the Ministry of Agriculture in Brazil, at 4.2 mha and second-season corn area at 12.9 mha, or nearly the same as last year’s corn area. However, most analysts expect second-season corn area will be 4 percent higher compared to last year due to strong corn prices. Planting of the second-season crop will begin in January and second-season corn planters typically follow immediately behind soybean harvesters.

Most Center-South summer corn growing regions experienced favorable weather, but Rio Grande do Sul experienced long dry spells in December when approximately 50 to 75 percent of the crop was in critical pollination and grain-filling stages. However, any reductions in first-season corn output from unfavorable weather is expected to be offset by an increase in corn area for the second-season crop.

Bangladesh Corn: Record Production

USDA estimates Bangladesh 2019/20 corn production at 4.0 million metric tons, up 14 percent from 2018 because of farmers switching to higher-yielding corn seed varieties and favorable weather. Yield is expected to reach record levels at 8.00 tons per hectare, up nearly 3 percent from 2018. Although the Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is present in Bangladesh, the government of Bangladesh is taking steps in monitoring and managing any infestation. The area is estimated at 500,000 hectares, up 11 percent from 2018. Farmers are expanding corn acreage to meet the growing demand in the feed and aquaculture industry.

Corn is now the second largest cereal crop after rice. It is grown in Jessore, Bandarban, Rangamati, and Rajshahi districts on small plots during the boro season (November through March). (For more information, please contact [email protected].)

Russia Corn: Preliminary Rosstat Data Indicates Higher Area

Russia corn production for 2019/20 is estimated at 14.5 million metric tons (mmt), up 4 percent from last month and 27 percent from last year. Total area is estimated at 2.55 million hectares, up 4 percent from last month and 8 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 5.69 tons per hectare, up less than 1 percent from last month and 18 percent from last year. The month-to-month increase in area is based on preliminary data from the Russian statistical agency, Rosstat.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 7 January 2020Global Market Analysis

Most of the country’s corn was produced in three regions during the current season: the Central District (accounting for 40 percent of production), the Northwest District (accounting for 20 percent of production), and the Southern District (accounting for 10 percent of production). Typically, the preliminary production data reported by Rosstat increases from the preliminary estimate to the final estimate in March. The difference between preliminary and final reported corn production is usually reflected in harvested area rather than yield. (For more information, please contact [email protected].)

Australia Cotton: Production Forecast Down 69 Percent from Last Year

USDA forecasts 2019/20 Australia cotton production at 0.675 million 480-pound bales, down 175,000 bales (21 percent) from last month and 1.53 million (69 percent) from last year. Harvested area, essentially all irrigated, is estimated at 60,000 hectares, down 25 percent from last month, and 84 percent from last year. Below normal precipitation during the past six months and a lack of soil moisture for dryland sowing operations resulted in the 84 percent decrease in cotton area. Additionally, irrigation water availability has been severely depleted.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 8 January 2020Global Market Analysis

Dryland planting tends to vary with the seasonal weather forecast and prices at sowing. Irrigated cotton yields are substantially higher than dryland yields, and the difference widens in low-rainfall years. Yield is forecast for 2019/20 Australia cotton at 2,449 kilograms per hectare, 33 percent above the 5-year average. On average, about 90 percent of Australia’s total cotton comes from irrigated areas, however, it is forecast that irrigated production will comprise nearly 99 percent of the total crop. Sorghum and cotton are the two dominant summer crops in eastern Australia. Cotton sowing began in October and harvest begins in April. (For more information, please contact [email protected].)

Mali Cotton: Record Area but Delayed Rains Lowered Planting Intentions

Mali’s cotton production for 2019/20 is estimated at 1.35 million 480-pound bales, down 0.14 million bales or 9 percent from last month but up 0.08 million bales or 6 percent from last year. Harvested area is estimated at a record 735,000 thousand hectares, down 40,000 hectares or 5 percent from last month but up 10,000 hectares or 1 percent from last year. Yield is forecast at 400 kilograms per hectare, up 5 percent from last year but 2 percent below the 5-year average. Mali’s cotton is sown from May to July and harvest is from late October to December.

High fixed farm gate prices influenced farmers to plant more cotton area than last year, but late rains and drought caused farmers to plant less than their planting intentions. According to sources, late rains delayed planting and caused farmers to re-seed about 230,000 hectares, while the delayed rains also motivated other farmers to plant more drought resistant crops such as sorghum and millet. After the drought during the planting season, rains were average to above-average during the growing season and final yields are expected to be near-average. Satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) observations for all major cotton producing regions indicate near-average vegetation conditions from July through September.

Australia Wheat: Production Revised Lower

USDA estimates Australia 2019/20 wheat production at 15.6 million metric tons (mmt), down 0.5 mmt (3 percent) from last month, and down 1.7 mmt (10 percent) from last year. Harvested area is expected to total 10.1 million hectares, unchanged from last month, and less than 1 percent below last year. Yield is forecast at 1.54 tons per hectare, 24 percent below the 5-year average.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 10 January 2020Global Market Analysis

Following a good start to the growing season, Australia’s wheat prospects steadily declined throughout the season. Timely rainfall in May promoted sowing operations in most cropping regions of Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, and southern New South Wales (NSW). In contrast, the eastern states of Queensland (QLD) and northern NSW received below-normal precipitation for the entire season, resulting in significantly lower yields. Most of the reduction occurred in NSW where a significant amount of wheat was cut for hay or grazed-off in early spring.

Harvest results indicate wheat yields are lower than previous expectations, reflecting below-average rainfall and soil moisture conditions during the critical flowering and grainfill stages. Satellite-derived Percent of Average Seasonal Greenness (PASG) vegetation indices show poor vegetation conditions for all areas of the wheat zone except for western Victoria, corroborating the severe drought in QLD and NSW. Dry conditions have accelerated crop development and harvesting was completed in late December. (For more information, please contact [email protected].)

Russia Wheat: Harvest is Complete

Russia wheat production for 2019/20 is estimated at 73.5 million metric tons (mmt), down 1 percent from last month and 3 percent from last year. The estimate includes 54.5 mmt of winter wheat and 19.0 mmt of spring wheat. USDA crop production estimates for Russia exclude output from Crimea. Total wheat yield is estimated at 2.70 tons per hectare, down 1 percent from last month and last year.

Winter wheat accounts for about half of total wheat area and 70 percent of production. Harvest was complete by September and the month-to-month decrease for winter wheat yield is based on preliminary data from the Russian statistical agency, Rosstat. Spring wheat yields are unchanged from last month. Total wheat area (winter and spring) is estimated at 27.2 million hectares, unchanged from last month.

Thailand Rice: Estimated Production Decreases Due to Area Reductions in Dry-Season Rice

USDA estimates Thailand 2019/20 rice production at 18.5 million metric tons milled basis, down 10 percent from last month and down 9 percent last year. Area harvested is estimated at 10.0 million hectares, down 8 percent from both last month and last year. Yield is estimated at 2.80 million tons per hectare, down 2 percent from both last month and last year.

Thailand rice is cultivated in three seasons: wet season (main) May to January, late-wet season November to April, and a dry-season (dryland) November to July. Favorable weather during the main rice season benefited crop development in the major rice producing regions, most notably in the North East region. Insufficient precipitation in the North region during the month of July, however, led to near record-low water levels in the region’s top two reservoirs, Bhumibol and Sirikit. These reservoirs provide approximately 80 percent of the irrigation water supply for the dryland rice crop (predominantly irrigated) in the lower North and Central Plains regions. According to Thailand’s Royal Irrigation Department, as of December 30, 2019, Bhumibol and Sirikit reservoir levels are down 39 percent and 35 percent, respectively, from last year. As a result, limited water supplies have caused the Thailand government to enforce water restrictions and urged some farmers (province specific) to not plant dryland rice. Rice production for the dry season represents 25 percent of total production. (For more information please contact [email protected])

TABLE 18

The table below presents a record of the January projection and the final Estimate. Using world wheat production as an example, the "root mean square error" means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current forecast will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 0.7 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90% confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 1.1 percent. The average difference between the January projection and the final estimate is 3 million tons, ranging from 0 million to 8.3 million tons. The January projection has been below the estimate 27 times and above 9 times.
