CNFA and GSI partner to provide

solutions to improve farm

productivity and food security in

Africa

CNFA and GSI Group have launched a

strategic partnership aimed at

promoting food storage and protein

production systems as a critical way to

improve farm productivity and food

security. This partnership will notably

strive to significantly reduce the multi-

billion dollar food losses that occur

yearly due to insufficient and inadequate

post-harvest infrastructures in Sub-

Sahara Africa. It will also leverage

CNFA's close proximity to thousands of

smallholder farmers in Africa with GSI's

cutting-edge, scalable technologies for

grain and perishable storage.

GSI, a global brand of AGCO, is a world

class manufacturer of grain storage,

material handling, conditioning and

drying equipment, as well as a full line

supplier of swine and poultry production

equipment. GSI Group, LLC President

Tom Welke and CNFA President and

CEO Sylvain Roy released the following

statement:

“This partnership has the potential to

dramatically improve smallholder

farmers' incomes and nutritional status

by reducing their post-harvest losses.

An alliance between CNFA - a premier

agricultural non-profit development

organization - and GSI - a world-class

agribusiness company - demonstrates

how working together and merging our

collective years of experience, can

result in new and innovative approaches

to address food losses. We believe that

our partnership can significantly impact

millions of rural households' food

security and help strengthen the local

economy.”

Global investor ensures Canadian

wheat board can compete with the

best in the world

For the first time in decades Western Canada

is going to have a new major competitor in

the grain industry with the announcement of

the investment by Global Grain Group (G3) in

Canadian Wheat Board (CWB).

The investment will result in G3 acquiring a

majority ownership interest in CWB with a

substantial minority interest held in trust for

the benefit of farmers.

This investment ensures CWB will be well

capitalized and will be a competitive force in

the grain industry globally. As a result of

this transaction, more farmers will have

access to a growing network of assets

across Canada and significant equity in an

international grain company that will

continue to be headquartered in Winnipeg.

Under the terms of this transaction, G3 will

invest $250 million (subject to closing

adjustments) for 50.1 % of CWB. The other

49.9% will be allocated to a trust for the

benefit of farmers and administered through

the Farmer Equity Plan announced by CWB

in 2013. G3 is a joint venture between

Bunge Canada, and SALIC Canada, a wholly

owned subsidiary of Saudi Agricultural and

Livestock Investment Company (SALIC).

Game-changing rice production

methodology awarded Olam

prize for innovation in food

security

Olam International, a leading global agri-

business operating across the value

chain in 65 countries, announced

that the O lam

International Prize

for Innovation in

Food Security has

been awarded by

an international

jury panel to Professor Norman Uphoff

and the SRI International Network and rdResources Center (SRI-Rice) at the 3

Global Science Conference on Climate

Smart Agriculture in Montpellier,

France.

Launched in partnership with leading

scientific organisation Agropolis

Foundation th to celebrate Olam's 25

anniversary year, the Olam Prize for

Innovation in Food Security recognises

an outstanding innovation for its impact

on the availability, affordability,

accessibility or adequacy of food.

SRI-Rice, which is housed at Cornell

University (New York), has been

promoting research and facilitating

knowledge-sharing on the System of 3Rice Intensification , a climate-smart

methodology with outstanding results

for rice production that is surprisingly

counter-intuitive.

Capitalising on biological processes, on

the genetic potential of the crop, and on

plant-soil-microbial interactions, the

system requires 80-90% fewer rice

seeds, up to 50% less water and in

many instances no fertiliser. Yields are

then boosted by 20-50% (and often by

much more), with farmers' costs

subsequently reduced by 10-20%.

India may export basmati rice,

now 'infestation-free', to China

from this year

India may be able to export basmati rice

to China from this year, with rice-shelling

and exporting units registered with the

National Plant Protection Organisation

(NPPO) being declared infestation-free.

Exporters in India, the world's second-

largest rice producer, are targeting the

Indian diasporas and Middle Eastern

communities, apart from the Chinese that

are trying out different cuisines even as

they like their rice to be stickier and short

grained.

By June 30, the Indian government will

send a list of credited Indian rice mills

with the NPPO certification of being free

from `khapra beetle' infestation. After

this, we expect Chinese companies to

start placing orders," said Ashok Sethi,

president, Punjab Rice Exporters'

Association.

Trade enquiries have already started

coming in, according to millers and

company executives.

The Chinese government has invited

Indian rice exporters to visit the country

to see the mar ket and make pre

sentations, said Mohinder Pal Jindal,

President, All India Rice Exporters'

Association.

Besides China, South Africa and Mexico

are the other new mar kets that Indian

companies have been exploring to

augment basmati rice exports. At

present, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait

and United Arab Emirates are the major

export destinations for Indian basmati

rice.

“It might take us a few years to penetrate

China, but the country has potential to

become a big market for Indian basmati

rice due to its huge population, increasing

income levels and openness to try new

cuisines," said Anil Kumar Mittal,

chairman and MD of KRBL, which sells un

der the India Gate brand.Vietnam and

Thai land are the leading suppliers of rice

to China, followed by Lao,Australia and

Pakistan. Vijay Setia of Chamanlal Setia

Exports said Indian traders may be able to

take a slice of the share of neighbour

Pakis tan, which exports 0.35-0.4 million

tonne of rice a year to China.

28 new rice varieties released in

2014 as scientists ensure

responsive breeding for the

future

The International Rice Research

Institute (IRRI) and its partners released

at least twenty-eight new rice varieties

to governments of eight countries in

Asia and Africa in 2014.

These newly-released varieties possess

high-yielding and stress-tolerance traits

that can help farmers overcome challenges,

such as the negative effects of climate

change, in their rice growing ecosystems.

Some of the varieties released are flood-

tolerant (India), drought-tolerant for rainfed

rice areas (Nepal), and salinity-tolerant (the

Gambia and the Philippines).

IRRI has released more than a thousand

modern rice varieties in 78 countries since

its founding in 1960.

“The work never stops," said Eero Nissila,

IRRI's head of breeding and leader of its

global rice research partnership in varietal

improvement. "New challenges arise due to

climate change and decreasing resources,

which is why we need to keep revisiting our

agenda and stay responsive to the needs of

our farmers and consumers."

Scientists implementing IRRI's breeding

agenda shared the latest in their varietal

improvement work during IRRI Breeders'

Week, which happened at IRRI from 23-27

March 2015.

Critical improvements are being made to

IRRI's breeding infrastructure, which needs

to be more responsive to the requirements

of current and future rice demand.

Responsiveness requires increasing rice

genetic gain in yield and pursuing an

agenda that's driven by what consumers

need and prefer. Taken together, these

improvements are called Transforming Rice

Breeding (TRB), funded by the Bill &

Melinda Gates Foundation.

At Breeders' Week, several updates were

presented, which include development of

profiles of rice preferred in selected

countries in Southeast Asia and Africa;

market research on types of rice consumers

prefer; updates on the irrigated variety

development pipeline that now benefits

from an expedited breeding process;

breeding hubs in Africa, South Asia, and

Southeast Asia; grain quality and how it

integrates into the development of high-

yielding rice varieties with desirable traits;

m a n a g i n g i n f o r m a t i o n t h r o u g h

bioinformatics; genotyping services;

partnerships within the hybrid rice

development program; and exploration

of rice's diversity for breeding.

Silos is the

best storage option

that the global grain

industry has today.

There are

some critical aspects

associated with grain

s to rage in s i los

which should be kept

in mind for safe

storage. Let us take a

look:

The grain must be stored safely to meet

the quality and quantity requirements of

the various end uses for which it is

intended. The metallic silos and its basic

accessories can serve this purpose provided

they meet the prescribed criteria. There are

basically 3 types of silos: Flat bottom,

Hopper bottom and Delivery silos (for bulk

loading intruck/train).

The flat bottom silos are for relatively long

time greater capacity storage. They are

constructed on flat or conical concrete floor.

The hopper bottom silos are relatively for

smaller capacities and are used where

frequent loading and unloading is demanded.

The standard angle of the hopper is 45º but

for the materials that are not easy flowing,

60º hopper is used. These silos are raised

from the ground with a support system of

legs and reinforcement, which relatively

limits its diameter and capacity. The delivery

silos are hopper silos of relatively smaller

capacities and raised from the ground by a

special structure to allow for unloading the

material from it directly into the truck from

underneath the silos. In conjunction with the

processing and conveying equipment, these

silos can operate individually or in

groups.

Grain storage can be a risky and difficult

venture unless the grain itself and the

silo in which it is stored meet certain

prescribed criteria all the time. The grain

to be stored must be uniformly dry to or

below the safe moisture content. This

will prevent deterioration caused by

micro-organisms and insects. The grain

must be clean, and free from dust, chaff,

straw, foreign matter and broken

kernels. To ensure the continuous

maintenance of these conditions of the

grain, the silo facility must be designed

and constructed to provide: maximum

possible protection from ground

moisture, rains, insect pests, moulds,

rodents, birds, fire, etc.; necessary

facility for loading, unloading, cleaning,

reconditioning, regular inspection,

monitoring and control to ; protection to

grain from excessive moisture and

Grain storage in Silos – The critical aspectsCover Feature


Accessories

Aeration System :

Aeration is the process of moving air

through stored grain at low ow rates to

maintain or enhance its quality. Turning or

moving grain from one silo to another by a

conveying system through fresh air can to

an extent serve the purpose of aeration.

The aeration system moves fresh air

through the grain accomplishing the same

results with a much less expensive

operation. Aeration systems used for silos

are usually with oor ducts, perforated

oors and center vertical ducts. The

principal parts of an aeration system are

fans to move the air

and ducts to carry

air from the fans to

t h e s t o r a g e

s y s t e m . T h e

number of fans

required, depends

on the size of the

silo. The fans can

be portable on

wheels that can be

moved from one

d u c t o r o n e

manifold system to

another.

The main purpose

of aeration is to

cool and air the

g ra in , p revent

storage odors,

m o i s t u r e

condensation and

i n s e c t s ( b y

i n t r o d u c i n g

fumigants in the

ducts), but not to dry it. If drying has not

reduced the moisture content to a safe

level, continued aeration helps to reduce

a small amount of moisture in the grain,

however, the excessive aeration can be

detrimental also to the grain.

Temperature Monitor System:

Anytime during storage when the grain goes

out of condition (regardless of the cause),

there is rise in temperature in the critical area

commonly referred to as a HOT SPOT. It is

necessary for the storage operator to keep

track of the evenly distributed temperature

measuring points throughout the grain mass,

evaluate any changes, and take action to

correct any problems. The temperature

monitor system can be portable, manual or

automatic. Some systems can also be linked

with the automatic starting and shutting of

the fans of the aeration system.

Most modern bulk storages use insulated

thermocouple wires wound on steel cables

and covered with abrasive resistant nylon.

The copper and constantan thermocouple

wire is heat sensitive and produces a minute

electrical charge that varies in direct relation

to the temperature around it. The cables

are anchored in a fixed position in the

storage area, with thermocouples

arranged along the cable at vertical

intervals. The number of thermocouples

and the number of cables are designed

so that readings will indicate the

temperature of the entire grain mass.

Sweep Auger:

The sweep auger is a device for the

removal of the last grain from a flat

bottom silo after discharge by gravity

has stopped. The sweep auger is

mounted with its drive end at centre of

the silo into the unload conveyor through

a special sump

arrangement or

well, while the

s u ppo r t / t r a v e l

wheel rests next to

the silo wall. In

operation, as the

auger flight rotates

at its axis and

around the centre,

i t sweeps and

d r a g s g r a i n

towards the centre

into the sump in

which it is pivoted.

The grain falls into

the moving unload

conveyor and is

transferred. Along

the en t i r e top

length of the flight

is a metal hood.

Catwalks and

supports:

There are two ways to load the silo with

grain: From elevator directly with an

inclined spout or with a horizontal

conveyor from elevator. This horizontal

conveyor is rested on conveyor with

Mill Tour : Tirupati Agro Food Products

The newly operational (two months old) fully automated flour mill is processing 120mt of wheat per day.

Indian wheat processors

are aware of the importance

of using the most advanced

processing machinery and

following stringent quality

cont ro l p rocedures to

produce premium quality

product, I became a stronger

believer of this fact when I

visited Tirupati Agro Food

Products located in vill

Tantithaiya of Surat, Gujarat

(India).

The flour mill is owned by Gattani

family. “ We hail from Assam where

we have been running a tea plant

from 30 years, a flour mill from 20

years and a rice mill from 5 years”,

informed Paras Gattani, the

youngest scion of Gattani family.

Tirupati Agro Food Products is the

newest of all, and also the 1st

venture of Gattani family in Gujarat.

“Currently we are serving Gujarat and

Maharashtra markets and also

exporting to other countries through

Tirupati Agro Food Products”, said

Mr. Gattani.

The products i.e., Maida, Rawa,

Sooji, Tandoori Atta are supplied to

wholesalers, bakers, hoteliers, etc.

The processed products are packed in

25kg, 50kg & 90kg packages and

distributed to these bulk buyers.

The Plant:

Wheat Storage:

The company procures wheat from

Madhya Pradesh (which is the belt for the

best quality wheat in India) and also from

FCI (Food Corporation of India). The

incoming wheat after unloading is

transported to two Rostfrei silos through

grain handling system. Each silo is

capable of storing 23,000 MT of wheat.

Processing through Buhler

Machinery:

A perfect example of fully automated

flour mill, Tirupati Agro Food Products is

using Buhler technology for wheat

processing. With an aim to produce

premium quality flour the company opted

to install Buhler's state-of-the-art

machinery that meets the highest

standards in terms of product quality and

Q What is your Outlook for India’s

rice production, export & prices

in 2015-16 ?

A Over the past two decades, India

has risen to be one of the

world's largest producer and

largest exporter of rice - thanks

to the tremendous efforts by

Haryana, Uttar Pradesh,

Madhya Pradesh, Andhra

P r a d e s h a n d B e n g a l .

Introduction of new varieties

and excellent agricultural R&D

has increased the production

forecast for year 2015-16. But

certain economic factors such

a s g l o b a l r e c e s s i o n i n

commodities, we cannot expect

increase in prices of Basmati

Rice. For Non Basmati, the price

forecast is fairly stable with

potential of slight increase.

Q What is the importance of Middle

East and African markets to

Global Rice Trade ?

A Middle East Rice trade has shown

consistent increase in Basmati

rice imports over the past few

decades. Considering that the

region does not produce rice, and

that the local population is an

excellent consumer of Basmati

r ice, the importance and

potential of Middle East in global

rice trade is unparalleled. Last

year India exported 3.75 million

metric tonnes of Basmati rice - of

which the major importers were

Saudi Arabia, Iran, UAE, Yemen,

Iraq, Qatar and Jordan. African

markets are importing Non-

Basmati Rice varieties and major

imports are from India. The major

importers are Senegal, Guinea,

Cote D Ivoire, Cameroon,

Somalia, Djibouti, Benin, Angola,

Mozambique. The total exports

of Non-Basmati from India is

about 7 Million Tons (2013-14).

Q Temporary ban on Basmati rice

exports to Iran has hit the Indian

Basmati Rice Industry, what is the

way out of the Industry ?

A Trade permissions are granted and

renewed with Iran from time to

time. Non Renewal of trade

permissions and temporary holds

on permission grants cannot be

considered as bans of rice trade

with Iran. The available data

indicates that India has exported

about ninety thousand metric

tonnes of rice directly to Iran. An

additional thirty-three thousand

metric tonnes of rice was

exported to Iran via UAE. In

February 2015, 1.67 thousand

metric tonnes was exported to

Iran which indicates healthy rice

exports to Iran void of any rice-

t r a d e b a n s . N e w t r a d e

permissions are expected to be

granted in the coming month. Per

the latest available trade data,

high levels of admixtures has

adversely affected the exports to

Iran. We expect that the exports

will increase this year if India

exports good quality basmati rice

to serve the quality-conscious

Iranian people.

Expert Interview


Q ..How is advanced and new

technology in milling creating

value for millers?

A Over the past decade, the .

modernization and automation of

milling systems across India has

created excellent efficiencies in

our ability to produce better

quality Basmati rice at much

lower operational cost. This

modernization of Indian milling

systems has led to a manifold

increase in our ability to satisfy

the qua l i t y demands o f

European, American and Middle

Eastern standards - which were

earlier a challenge at the

expected scale of operations.

The modern packing systems

has given India an added

advantage to produce shelf-

ready and packed-and-ready-to-

ship brands. India has grown

from a crude rice producer to

being a rice destination enriched

wi th modern p rocess ing

capability and cutting edge R&D

utilization.

Q You are the biggest buyer group

of Indian Basmati Rice from

Saudi Arabia, what parameters

do you focus on when buying

rice?

A W e ar e the largest brand

organizer in India for Traditional

Indian Basmati Rice (TIBR). We

are currently utilizing our core

rice expertise, global brand-

building knowledge and modern

processing systems to create

the largest middle-eastern brand.

M i d d l e E a s t e r n p e o p l e

appreciate high quality TIBR -

and we are working towards

producing something that will

delight the middle eastern

masses at excellent value for

money. Our current brands are

already being sold at al l

renowned retailed outlets across

middle east - and we hope to

create brand awareness and

repeat-consumer-base for TIBR.

From 2012-13 we have granted

concentrating in U.K. markets

with the same brand and market

experience of Middle East. Our

m a i n f o c u s a r e a s a r e

procurement of excellent quality

paddy, managing sorting and

cleaning systems for procured

paddy, ensuring good water

quality for Processing, Milling,

Grading, Sorting & packing in

best quality odorless jute bags

produced under our supervision;

and ensuring excellent sealing to

combat counterfeiting.

Q What are your group’s global

expansion plans?

A W e are currently concentrating

on strengthening processing and

packing capabilities in India to

better serve the growing Middle

East demand. In addition, we are

also concentrating on expansion

within Middle East to strengthen

our brand awareness and retail

c a p ab i l i t i e s . T h e r e a r e

immediate plans to expand in

wider global market, our five

year outlook includes careful

growth into countries other than

middle east like European

Markets.

Q What is your expectation from

Govt. in terms of trade policies?

A We expect the government to

protect the Traditional Indian

Basmati Rice by providing better

and simpler export policies.

Additionally, the government

must ensure subsidies to the

TIBR (Traditional Indian Basmati

Rice) farmers actually reach the

f a r m e r s . G o v e r n m e n t a l

infrastructural support to ensure

more yields is always welcome.

Moreover government must

invest in controlling admixtures.

Reducing the taxes imposed on

Basmati Rice will also ensure

more international trade specially

in Haryana.

Expert Interview


OUTLOOK FOR 2015/16

World harvested area is forecast to rise

marginally, but a retreat in average yields is seen

cutting production by 1% y/y, to 709m t.

A marginal increase in global consumption is

forecast, to 711m t, with an increase in food use

but a small drop for feed.

Only a minor fall in world carryover stocks is

projected, to 196m t, including 65m in the major

exporters.

Strong demand for milling wheat in Asia and

Africa is expected to underpin world trade, but a

slight y/y decline is seen in the global total, to

150m t, mainly linked to a drop in Near East Asia.

Production

World wheat harvested area in the 2015/16 crop year is forecast

to increase marginally, to about 224.6m ha (223.9m), 2% above

the five-year average. Areas are expected to rise in Kazakhstan,

Canada, the US, Turkey and North Africa, partly offset by

reductions in Russia, Ukraine, Argentina and Brazil. Plantings in

the EU, China, India and Australia are expected to be largely

unchanged y/y. Assuming normal conditions for the rest of the

growing season and broadly average yields, world wheat

production is projected at 709m t, down by 1% from the

2014/15 record, but still 3% higher than the five-year average.

In the EU, warm and mostly dry weather in March speeded

winter crop development in western areas and brought plants

out of dormancy in the east. Conditions were favourable for early

spring fieldwork. The total harvested area is forecast to be similar

to 2014/15, at about 26.7m ha, with some reduction for

common wheat, but an offsetting increase in durum area.

However, assuming a return to average yields from the high

levels of the previous year, production is expected to be around

5% below the 2014/15 record, at 147.2m t.

Warm weather prevailed across most of western Russia,

bringing winter crops out of dormancy and prompting an earlier

than normal start of spring sowing in southern areas. Although

winter wheat plantings are reported to be higher y/y, farmers

are expected to sow less spring wheat due to high input costs.

As a result, total harvested area is forecast to decrease by 3%

y/y, to 24.3m ha. Assuming average yields, production is

projected at 51.4m t, down by 13% y/y.

Owing to warm weather, winter crops in Ukraine resumed

development ahead of usual. Winter wheat area is estimated to

be close to last year, but high input costs and limited access to

credit are expected to lead to a drop in spring plantings. With

yields projected to fall from the record levels of 2014/15,

production is placed at 19.6m t, down by 21% y/y.

In Canada, where most of the crop is spring sown and planting

typically starts in May, the total harvested area is forecast to

increase by 6%, to 10.0m ha. This is mainly due to a projected

rise in durum acreage in response to high prices and low

carryover stocks. However, following soyabean harvest

delays, the winter wheat area is seen about one-quarter lower

y/y. Based on average yields, production is forecast at 30.4m t

(29.3m).

In the US, drought persisted across much of the Great Plains

Global Market Report - Wheat

Global Market Report


during March, with winter wheat condition reported to be

deteriorating in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, although still

much better than a year ago. Winter wheat plantings are

officially placed at 16.4m ha, down by 5% y/y, including

11.9m of HRW (3% lower y/y), 3.0m of SRW (down 12% y/y),

and 1.4m of WW (marginally higher y/y). Assuming average

levels of winter wheat abandonment and an increase in durum

and other spring wheat plantings, the total harvested area is

placed at 19.3m ha, up by 3% y/y. With yields expected to

rebound from the below average results of 2014/15, production

is forecast to increase by 7%, to 59.0m t.

In China, mild and dry weather in the key eastern growing areas

promoted winter crop development. However, parts of the North

China Plain and the Yangtze Valley require more rains. The total

area is placed at 24.1m ha, the same as in 2014/15, but

assuming average yields of about 5.0 t/ha (5.2 t/ha), production

is forecast to decline by 5%, to 120.0m t.

In India, dry weather across most growing areas benefited crop

ripening and early harvesting, which commenced in March.

However, excessive rains during February in the north-west may

have affected the quality of some of the crop. The area is

forecast to equal the 2014/15 season, at 31.5m ha. With good

prospects for yields, production is expected to reach 97.7m t, up

by 2% y/y. Due to an increase in support prices and adequate

irrigation reserves, wheat plantings expanded in Pakistan, to an

estimated 9.0m ha (8.8m). Overly wet conditions in February

may have affected crop quality in some regions. Production is

placed at 24.5m t (25.0m).

Winter wheat in Turkey was reported to have broken dormancy

on the Anatolian Plateau, with crop prospects seen as very good

owing to abundant soil moisture. The area is expected to

increase slightly, to 7.8m ha, matching the five-year average,

but production is projected to rebound by 14%, to 17.6m t, due

to an anticipated recovery in yields. Warmer than normal

weather and plentiful soil moisture accelerated crop

development in Iraq and Syria. While the area in Syria is projected

14% higher y/y, at 1.5m ha, plantings in Iraq are expected to fall

by one-quarter, to 1.2m, due to reduced inputs and limited

access to areas under the control of militant groups; production

is projected at 3.4m t (2.1m) and 2.0m (3.0m), respectively.

In North Africa, dry and warm weather accelerated crop

development into the heading stage. The aggregate harvested

area is forecast to increase by 4% y/y, to about 7.3m ha. Due to

near-ideal weather conditions, yields are expected to be above

average and the region's output is seen increasing by 12%, to

20.1m t, including 9.2m (8.5m) in Egypt, 6.0m (5.8m) in

Morocco and 3.2m (1.9m) in Algeria.

Consumption

Although some fall in global production is anticipated in

2015/16, high carryover stocks from the current season should

prevent any contraction in total supplies. With world wheat

availabilities set to be at least as large as in 2014/15, market

prices could remain close to recent four-year lows, potentially

underpinning demand.

An increase in human food consumption is projected, with

annual growth seen matching the slightly stronger than average

levels of recent years, at about 1.3%. This would add about 6m t

to world food demand, to 484m. Increases are expected to

continue to be driven by developing countries in Asia and Africa,

where populations are rising relatively quickly and where per

capita use is growing in some countries.

If prices remain low, feeding of wheat should stay attractive,

although strong competition for inclusion in livestock rations is

anticipated from other grains and oilseeds. In the EU, likely

increased use of oilmeals, in particular, is expected to contribute

to a 1.0m t drop in feed use, to 49.0m. Together with modest

falls elsewhere, including in the CIS, the world total is forecast to

decline by around 3m t y/y, to 138m, which remains slightly

above the five-year average.

Only a marginal increase in world industrial use is forecast, to

22.2m t, with processing demand for wheat expected to face

stiff competition from attractively priced alternatives, especially

maize. Economic growth is seen boosting use for starch

manufacture, but any rise for ethanol production will be

dependent on a recovery from recent poor profit margins.

With growth in human food consumption partly offset by lower

feeding, world total wheat consumption in 2015/16 is forecast

to increase only marginally y/y, to 711m t.

Stocks

The world carryover at the end of 2015/16 (aggregate of

respective local marketing years) is projected to remain

comfortable, albeit fractionally lower y/y, at 196m t.

Combined inventories in the major exporters are expected to show

little change, at around 65m t. With increased supplies forecast,

stocks in the EU and US could expand again unless domestic and

export demand are higher than currently predicted. The carryover

in the EU could reach a seven-year high of about 17m t, while

those in the US are forecast to grow to 21m, the most in five

seasons. Some retreat is projected in Russia and Ukraine, but

much will depend on the permitted level of exports, with

unhindered shipments assumed. Stocks in Argentina have been

rebuilt in recent years and are forecast to remain at around 3m t at

the end of November 2016. The carryovers in India and China are

projected to be broadly steady, at 17m t and 62m, respectively.



Trade

Strong demand for milling wheat in Asia and Africa is expected

to underpin world trade in 2015/16 (Jul/Jun), although a small

overall fall is projected, to 150m t. This is mainly due to a

reduction in demand in Near East Asia, primarily because of

lower anticipated needs in Turkey. After reaching a potentially

record level in 2014/15, Turkey's imports are forecast to decline

by 28%, to a more normal 4.2m t, following a better domestic

harvest.

Elsewhere in Near East Asia, Iran's purchases are forecast to

stay close to recent elevated totals, at around 6.0m t, partly

reflecting processing by local millers for re-export. With another

drop in local output anticipated, purchases by Saudi Arabia are

expected to be at least as large as in 2014/15, at around 3.5m t.

Armed conflict in certain countries in the region results in some

uncertainty about import requirements and the ability of traders

to conduct trade normally, including in Syria and Iraq. The influx

of refugees into Jordan may result in continued higher than

normal imports in that country.

Imports in Pacific Asia are forecast to post moderate growth,

supported by a likely sustained rise in milling wheat demand.

Purchases by Indonesia are projected to reach 7.9m t (7.7m),

boosted by the increasing popularity of wheat-based

convenience foods. Continued imports for blending with local

supplies is anticipated in China, although, at 1.5m t, the volume

is placed slightly lower y/y. Depending on prices relative to

alternatives, wheat could remain an attractive feed ingredient in

some countries, although purchases are forecast to fall a little

from the current season, including in Thailand and the

Philippines.

Based on current production assumptions and a sustained rise in

consumption, imports by Morocco are placed at 3.4m t (3.1m),

close to the five-year average. A good local harvest is anticipated

in Algeria and is seen restricting purchases to 6.7m t (6.9m). In

Egypt, reforms of the bread subsidy system and measures to

reduce wastage in supply chains may help to contain imports,

forecast at 9.5m t (10.1m). Aided by potentially weaker import

costs, continued growth in shipments to sub-Saharan Africa is

assumed, with the regional total placed about 2% higher y/y, at a

record 20.9m t.

Strong competition for business is likely to continue among the

major exporters. Given reduced crop prospects, export potential

in Russia and Ukraine is expected to fall, although projected

shipments, at 18.0m t (20.3m) and 7.7m (11.8m), are still above

the five-year average. With new crop prices very competitive,

and provided export curbs are relaxed, Black Sea origins should

see strong early season demand, but buying will likely shift

elsewhere as availabilities tighten.

The EU could be well placed to capture any switch in demand

away from the Black Sea, with shipments projected at 29.0m t,

only modestly down from the high levels of recent seasons.

Some rise in exports is also assumed from the US, to 25.5m t

(24.0m, Jul/Jun), although this represents only a modest

recovery from the 12-year low that is forecast during 2014/15.

Canada's shipments (Jul/Jun) are forecast at 22.8m t, little

changed y/y. Exports by Argentina and Australia are tentatively

projected at 7.6m t (5.5m) and 19.0m (18.0m), respectively.

RECENT MARKET DEVELOPMENTS

World wheat export markets continued to have a mostly weak

tone during March, weighed by large supplies and strong export

competition. While a generally good outlook for 2015 production

added pressure, uncertainty about crop prospects in some

regions, particularly in the US and CIS, was supportive at times.

Movements in the US dollar continued to have a strong influence

on market direction. Since the last report, the IGC GOI wheat

sub-Index posted a marginal net gain, staying close to its lowest

levels since mid-2010.

In the US, a strong currency and slow exports continued to

weigh on sentiment. Nevertheless, futures trended higher for

most of the month, supported by worries about the outlook for

the next harvest. A heavy net short held by speculative funds left

values vulnerable to increases. However, a softer dollar and

forecasts for beneficial rains in HRW areas weighed mildly in late

March. Since the last report, HRW export quotations gained

US$12, to US$256 fob (Gulf), while SRW climbed by US$6, to

US$233 fob (Gulf). Signs of better demand for high protein

supplies lifted PNW basis levels and contributed to an US$25

jump in DNS (14% protein) export values, to US$313 fob.

Prices in the EU continued to be underpinned by strong export

demand, aided by a weak euro relative to the US dollar. Export

licence awards maintained a record pace, although third country

buying interest for old crop supplies was said to be slowing.

Expectations for large carryover stocks and a good 2015 harvest

helped to limit upward pressure on prices. While domestic prices

in France were slightly firmer, US dollar-denominated export



values fell by US$4 m/m, to US$209 fob (Rouen), owing to

changes in currencies.

Slowing exports weighed on Black Sea quotations, with milling

wheat nominally US$16 lower m/m, at US$214 fob. Despite

reports of less than ideal conditions for 2015 crops, new season

export values were very attractive relative to other origins; at

around US$205 fob (July) milling wheat was about US$10

below EU (France) values and US$14 under US SRW.

DURUM

OUTLOOK FOR 2015/16

An increase in harvested area and a recovery in average yields

are projected to boost global durum production by 11% in

2015/16, to 36.4m t. Recent attractive prices will likely

stimulate plantings, which are also assumed to be aided by

better spring sowing conditions, particularly in North America.

Despite the projected climb in world output, total supplies will

likely remain tight owing to the low level of stocks at the

beginning of the season.

In North Africa, conditions have been mostly favourable for

crops so far. Prospects are mostly good in the EU, although

overly dry weather in Spain is a potential threat.

In 2015/16, human food and animal feed consumption are both

expected to rebound moderately from the lower than normal

levels of 2014/15, with tight supplies potentially restricting

faster growth. Food use is seen recouping the previous year's

losses, rising by around 2%, to 30.3m t, aided by likely weaker

prices and population growth. However, feeding of durum is

projected to remain at historically low levels, constrained by

limited availabilities; at around 1.5m t, it would be some 26%

below the five-year average.

Global stocks at the end of 2015/16 (aggregate of respective

local marketing years) are tentatively seen climbing by 2%, to

4.5m t, still about one-third less than the average in the previous

five years.

Owing to better anticipated local harvests in some of the main

importers, world trade in durum (including semolina) is projected

to fall by 7% in 2015/16 (Jul/Jun,), to 8.1m t. Algeria's

purchases are expected to drop to 1.6m t (1.8m), Morocco's to

650,000t (700,000t) and the EU's to 1.9m (2.2m).

An increased export surplus is projected to lift shipments by the

EU. Following likely record sales by Canada in the current

season, greater export competition, particularly from the EU, is

expected to curtail exports in 2015/16.

RECENT MARKET DEVELOPMENTS

In generally quiet activity, with little international buying interest

reported, world durum export prices were mostly weaker.

Generally favourable conditions for northern hemisphere winter

crops weighed, with participants awaiting news of upcoming

spring sowing, particularly in North America, where farmers

hoped for better weather conditions than last season. Export

quotations dropped by US$15 in Canada, to US$400 fob (St.

Lawrence).

Expectations for a large increase in area pressured prices in the

EU, with dollar-denominated export values in France dropping by

US$51 m/m, to US$376 fob (La Pallice), also partly reflecting

local currency weakness.

Rice farmers in India, Bangladesh, and

Nepal will have faster access to newly

developed high yielding climate-smart

var iet ies. This is thanks to an

unprecedented regional seed cooperation

agreement that speeds up the release

and dissemination of rice varieties to

benefit farmers in the region.

Saves breeding time

The regional seed cooperation saves a lot of

resources and the time required for a

variety to be released in one country. The

time it takes from initial evaluation of a

breeding line to the release of a new variety

could take between 3 to 6 years. “With this

seed cooperation agreement, a rice variety

that has been tested, approved, and

released in one country can be released in

other countries without undergoing further

testing and evaluation, as long as they will

be grown in similar agro climatic

conditions,” says Abdelbagi Ismail, principal

scientist at the International Rice Research

Institute (IRRI). “The regional cooperation

system is the most suitable platform for the

three countries because they share similar

agro-ecosystems and borders.”

“IRRI played a catalytic role to make the

regional cooperation happen,” says Dr.

Ismail, who also leads the Stress-Tolerant

Rice for Africa and South Asia (STRASA)

project. “The Institute convened the senior

officials of the three countries through a

meeting under STRASA.” The regional

seed cooperation started when delegations

from India and Bangladesh met in February

2013. The delegation from India was

headed by Ashish Bahuguna, secretary of

agriculture and international cooperation of

the Ministry of Agriculture; Matia

Chowdhury, minister of agriculture, headed

the Bangladeshi delegation, among other

respective relevant agencies, including

Monzur Hossain, secretary of agriculture.

From IRRI, the delegation was headed by

V. Bruce J. Tolentino, IRRI deputy

director general for communication and

partnerships. Among other things, the two

countries agreed to have a joint evaluation

of improved rice varieties for release in

areas with similar agro-climatic conditions

in both countries. Part of that agreement

provided for reciprocal acceptance of

research data, including results of farmers’

participatory varietal selection activities that

are generated in one, country to support

varietal release in the other country. And,

consistent with the goal of bringing the

needed climate change- ready varieties to

farmers in the shortest time possible, the

two countries agreed on the promotion of

prerelease multiplication and demonstration

of breeding lines and varieties at advanced

stages of release to fast-track awareness

among farmers and to ensure a sufficient

supply of breeder seed once a variety was

released. In relation to this, the two

countries agreed to work together in

formulating seed protocols and guidelines

Regional cooperation speeds up the release of rice varieties


A historic moment

This regional cooperation on rice varieties

among the three countries was declared

historically significant by the agriculture

executives. Dr. S.M. Nazmul Islam,

agriculture secretary of Bangladesh,

believes that signing of this regional

agreement ushers in a new era of

collaboration and cooperation that aims to

help improve the livelihood of the poor

farmers in the region.Nepal’s agriculture

secretary, Jaya Mukunda Khanal,

shares the same view. “The

cooperation has opportunities and

options to improve the livelihood of

poor farmers in the region,” he

says. “It will provide a platform to

share good practices among

countries and the exchange of

technologies and quality seed can

help attain higher rice productivity

in the region.” Mr. Bahuguna notes

that, although the agreement

covers only rice, it can be extended

to other crops later on. “This

cooperation is not limited to the

seed sector and will lead to

agricultural development in the

region,” Mr. Bahuguna adds. For

him, this cooperation can be

expanded and replicated to other

parts of the world. “The South

Asian Association for Regional

Cooperation can play a vital role in

bringing in more countries to the

platform.”

Results to boot

The regional cooperation, even in its infant

stage, has produced concrete results and

has demonstrated what can be achieved.

In fact, several varieties released in one

country are already popular in another.

“For example, BR11, BRRI dhan 28, and

BRRI dhan 29, which are modern high-

yielding rice varieties released in

Bangladesh, are now widely grown in

eastern India,” reports Mr. Bahuguna.

Indian varieties are now estimated to be

planted on more than 21% of the rice area

in Bangladesh. Some Indian rice varieties,

such as Swarna, Sarju 52, and Samba

Mahsuri, are now popular in Nepal.

As the initial implementation step of this

agreement by India, several varieties

released in Bangladesh, such as BINA dhan

8, 10, 11, and 12, are recently notified for

release in the Indian states of West Bengal,

Assam, and Odisha. These varieties will be

evaluated for release in other states also,

but only for a year—as provided in the

agreement. Sukha dhan 5 and 6, drought

tolerant varieties released in Nepal, are

being considered for release in Uttar

Pradesh and Bihar. The Indian government

has been proactive in carrying out the

regional cooperation agreement. In fact,

starting in 2015, the Department of

Agriculture of India allotted 30% of its

funds to programs such as the National

Food Security Mission (NFSM) and

Bringing Green Revolution in Eastern India

(BGREI) to further promote climate-smart

rice developed by STRASA. According to

Dr. Ismail, the regional seed cooperation

was carried out smoothly not only because

these three countries share similar

guidelines for varietal evaluation and

release, but because each country shares a

similar goal—that is, delivering the

technologies needed by farmers. Indeed,

the success of the creation and the

implementation of this regional seed

cooperation clearly demonstrate that

partnerships and collaboration can

accomplish the goals very rapidly. It is

hoped that, with IRRI’s catalytic role and

being a lead institute of the Global Rice

Science Partnership, more milestones can

be achieved among the partners. In the

future, this kind of regional cooperation

could help partners use resources

efficiently as countries share relevant

information with one another.WORKING TOGETHER(from left) India'sAshish Bahuguna andBangladesh's MatiaChowdhury and MonzurHossain.

International Showpiece Anniversary Event - VICTAM

2015 is a special year for the organizers

of FIAAP, VICTAM & GRAPAS thINTERNATIONAL 2015 as it is their 50

year of holding events for our industries.

First came the Victam show in 1965 and

then followed by the FIAAP show and

then later the GRAPAS event.

Now all together in Cologne from 9 – 11

June, the three events will be under one

roof at the Koelnmesse to comprise what

is now the world's largest dedicated

animal feed and grain processing event.

Over 250 exhibitors from all over the

world will come together at the events to

display the latest technology and

developments for the production of

animal feeds, flour milling, grain

processing and biomass pelleting.

Each exhibition has its own exhibitor

profile, they are as follows:

FIAAP: Specialist ingredients and

additives that are used within the

formulation of feeds for animals.

VICTAM: Technology, equipment and

systems for the production of animal

feeds. Now also the technology used in

the production of biomass pellets.

GRAPAS: Flour milling, grain processing

equipment and technology.

Besides these specialist systems there will

also be a very wide range of auxiliary

equipment that are used throughout a mill

– silos, conveyors, PC's and programs,

elevators, bagging, trucks, etc. All of this

and more will be on show at these

exhibitions. Visitors to the shows will be

able to see, touch, and handle much of

what is on display. You will be able to sit

down with experts from companies who

have designed and engineered the

technology and ingredients. You will be

able to get a better understanding of how

they can assist your production line and

save you money! You can sit down and

have serious discussions.

If you are looking to update your mill,

want to look for alternative ingredients,

maybe a totally new mill, whatever. Come

and see.

Industry Events

On Apri l 22-23, 2015 in Kiev,

Intercontinental Hotel, took place one of

the largest global grain conferences and a

premiere event of Ukrainian agri market –

the XII International Conference "Black

Sea Grain: Future is Now". Traditionally,

forum discussed key drivers of grain

sector in global and regional perspective,

crop forecasts, logistic issues, reforms

and investments in agriculture, highlights

of current season and outlook for

2015/16.

More than 600 representatives of

agribusiness from over 350 companies

and 45 countries registered to

participate in the "Black Sea Grain-

2015" conference, confirming its high

international status. It is worth to note

that despite difficult political situation,

agricultural sector of Ukraine continues to

operate and develop, remaining attractive

for investors.

Consulting Agency "UkrAgroConsult", as

the Organizer of the conference, aims at

promotion of agrarian sector of Ukraine,

working out effective strategies for its

development and attracting new

international partners. Annually the

conference is attended by international

producers and processors of grains and

oilseeds, agricultural holdings, traders,

banks and investment funds, logistics,

brokerage, insurance, legal and consulting

companies.

Conference speakers identified a number

of agricultural achievements in the past

year and the range of problems facing the

industry. About the leitmotif of the

conference: in spite of the ambiguity of

the situation in the country, Ukraine's

agriculture remains attractive; volumes of

grain production and processing are

encouraging; logistics structure requires

XII International Conference "Black Sea Grain-2015”

Industry Events


significant investment; market of financial

instruments, which could protect

producers from financial risks, caused by

fluctuating prices, still does not work.

Some of the topics discussed were:

1.Ukraine continues to be a grain basket

for Europe and beyond

During the first Discussion Panel "Ukraine:

Challenges on the Peak of Agri Production

and Exports," were revealed forecasts of

cereals and oilseeds crops in the near

future, as well as the major trends of

Ukrainian grain market. According to

Elizaveta Malyshko, Grain market expert,

"UkrAgroConsult", in 2015 Ukraine will

harvest 53-54 MMT of grain. According

to expert, negative effect was caused by

weather conditions and decline in

fertilizers application. As a result, wheat

crop will decrease to 21 MMT, corn crop

— 24 MMT.

E. Malyshko also highlighted the following

important aspects of harvest and corn

market: optimization of the ratio of the

areas under wheat and corn (as a result of

reduction in price of the latter), growing

usage of domestic corn seeds (in 2014

more than 60% of the areas under corn

were sowed with imported seeds),

decrease in corn supply to EU countries.

Preliminary estimate of the total grain

export from Ukraine, Russia and

Kazakhstan in the season 2015/16 is 64

MMT, which is 6 MMT less than in the

current season. This was stated by

UkrAgroConsult expert on Black Sea

grains, Elena Loshkareva.

Current agribusiness strategies for Black

Sea region should avoid short single-loop

models and be calculated for 5-7 years

This was stated by Sergey Feofilov,

Director General, UkrAgroConsult.

According to the expert, businesses of the

region today are largely guided by the

strategies of the past, consisting of

acquiring a large number of resources and

assets, but not actually interested in

managing them. And now, as the

business in the Black Sea region brings an

element of instability to the global market,

firms seek to increase exports, especially

of oilseeds, and do not think about its

effectiveness.

Black Sea countries strengthen their

positions on the world grain market,

informs Fre ight market expert ,

UkrAgroConsult, Svetlana Malysh, in her

report "Development of grain logistics in

the Black Sea region".

Agri sector of Ukraine was the only sector

of economy showing growth of

production volumes in 2014, - stated by

Financial analyst, UkrAgroConsult, Alex

Morgun, in his presentation "Strategies of

Ukrainian agri sector in the new realities".

Ukraine's GDP in dollars tends to decrease

– informed Nikolay Gorbachov, Director,

New World Grain (Ukraine), within

Discussion Panel “Ukraine and global

transformation of the agricultural sector”.

According to him, if the figure in 2008

was $179 billion, in 2009 - $113 billion,

then in 2015 it will be at the level of $81

billion.There are no objective reasons for

the growth of the economy, said the

speaker.

At the same time, he said, the Ukrainian

agricultural industry has a significant

potential for economic growth. If 10 years

ago the country produced 3 MMT of corn,

today this figure has increased 10 times.

Senior Vice president of Rietumu Banka,

Renat Lokomet, (Latvia) spoke about

further investment in the agricultural

sector of Ukraine with cautious optimism.

According to him, European bankers see

the prospects of Ukrainian agriculture, and

will invest in it, once a "period of

turbulence" finishes in the industry.

2. Land market - is still in the future. The

Parliament is thinking

“Land policy of Ukrainian agri sector will

continue to be based on lease. Lifting

moratorium on agricultural land sale is

unlikely” - this was stated by Andrey

Selyutin, Attorney-at-law, Arzinger, in his

presentation on the topic: "Land market in

the context of economic reforms in

Ukraine".

Members of the parliament's agriculture

committee are working on the legal

framework to increase investments into

the industry, informed by, Leonid

Kozachenko, President of Ukrainian

Agrarian confederation, Deputy of

Verkhovna Rada.

3. Logistics

In the next 10 years grain transportation

and storage infrastructure in Ukraine

needs investments of approximately USD

5-6 billion. Such estimation was given in

the reports of Dmitry Prikhodko,

Economist, FAO.

Investments in logistics and the reform of

the regulatory system can significantly

improve the conditions for agribusiness in

Ukraine. This was said by the

representative of the International Finance

Industry Events


Corporation, Heinz Strubenhoff.

Today, potential investors into Ukraine's

agriculture keep their interest primarily to

processing facilities, grain storages and

port elevators

This was told by the Yuriy Shved, KPMG,

in his report "FDI and access to credit of

Ukrain ian agr ibusiness in current

conditions".

According to Mr. Shved, investment in

such facilities could implemented by

Ukrainian, as well as foreign, investors,

among which - the national holdings,

investment funds from China and

countries of Southeast Asia.

On the issue of the impact of recent

developments in the agricultural holding

"Mriya" on the general investment climate

in Ukraine, the speaker noted both positive

and negative factors of such influence.

Among the former Mr. Shved, in

particular, named "the gain of experience

in the holding transition under the

management of creditors with the active

participation of the state". The negative

aspect primarily, said Y. Shved, is the

blow to the investment attractiveness of

the Ukrainian agricultural industry in

general and "latifundia" economic model,

which will lead to a loss of investor

interest from large holdings. According to

the expert, the magnitude of the external

financing of the sector will recover no

earlier than 2016.

4. Global tendencies

The leading exporter of wheat in the

medium term by 2024 will be the EU and

not the Black Sea region, as previously

thought. Such forecast by FAO and USDA

was presented to the conference

participants by FAO expert, Dmitry

Prikhodko.

According to him, by 2024 the EU will

export about 35 MMT, Russia - 27 MMT,

Ukraine - 12 MMT of wheat.

D. Prikhodko also mentioned that by 2024

the world's GDP will increase by 3.5%,

GDP growth in Ukraine will slow down

from 4.6% to 3.3%, in Russia - from

4.9% to 2.9%.

In the global context significant changes

of the world wheat market structure are

not expected, - said by Neil Townsend,

Director of CWB Market Research

Services (Canada). According to Mr

Townsend, a change will be seen in the

US share of world wheat exports, which is

to fall from 28% to 16%. The total wheat

market volume is estimated as 720 MMT.

World corn production in 2014/15 will be

991.5 MMT against 988.7 MMT in

2013/14, reported Chairman of AgFlow,

James Dunsterville, Switzerland.

According to him, the demand for this

crop will grow from 944.8 to 971.2 MMT,

respectively.

At the same time, the speaker noted a

significant drop in prices for this crop in

average from $235 to $170 per ton.

Asian countries will buy cheaper grain of a

higher quality, said Chris Lehner, ADM-

Archer Financial Services, USA. According

to him, the reduction of the US share in

the total export volume gives Ukraine a

good chance as a potential supplier of

grain.

Flour exports from Kazakhstan, the

volume of which now stands at 1.8 MMT

per year, will decrease to 1.2-1.5 MMT,

informed chairman of the Union of Grain

Processors of Kazakhstan, Evgeniy Gan.
