WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S. — Standing out in 2018-19 grain and

oilseed forecasts in the December World Agricultural Supply and

Demand Estimates report issued Dec. 11 were higher projections

for wheat and corn ending stocks. The 2018-19 supply-and-

demand forecasts for soybeans were unchanged from November.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture raised its forecast for the

carryover of wheat on June 1, 2019, by 25 million bushels, to 974

million bushels. While a large number, the carryover forecast still

was down 125 million bushels, or 11%, from 1.099 billion bushels

in 2018 and compared with 1.181 billion bushels in 2017. The

recent five-year average wheat carryover was 920 million

bushels.

The hike in the carryover forecast was tied to a 25-million-bushel

reduction in the USDA's forecast for 2018-19 wheat exports to 1

billion bushels. The USDA in commentary accompanying the

supply-and-demand forecasts said, “Wheat exports are lowered

25 million bushels to 1 billion with all the reduction in hard red

winter on historically low exports for this class in the first half of

the 2018-19 marketing year.”

All-wheat supply estimates and forecasts for 2018-19 were

unchanged with total supply remaining at 3.123 billion bushels,

up 45 million bushels from 2017-18.

With the exception of the lower export forecast, all-wheat use

projections for 2018-19 were unchanged from November at 970

million bushels for food, 69 million bushels for seed, and 110

million bushels for feed and residual.

The USDA forecast the carryover of corn on Sept. 1, 2019, at 1.781

billion bushels, up 45 million bushels from the November

projection at 1.736 billion bushels but down 359 million bushels,

or 17%, from 2.140 billion bushels in 2018. The 2018-19 corn

supply forecast was lowered 5 million bushels, to 16.811 billion

bushels, as imports were lowered 5 million bushels, to 45 million.

Domestic use of corn in 2018-19 was forecast at 12.580 billion

bushels, down 50 million bushels from the November outlook and

compared with 12.355 billion bushels in 2017-18. The use of corn

in manufacturing ethanol was forecast at 5.600 billion bushels,

down 50 million bushels from the November projection and down

5 million bushels from 2017-18. The USDA lowered its forecast for

corn used for ethanol based on the most recent data from the

Grain Crushings and Co-Products Production report and weekly

ethanol data as reported by the Energy Information

Administration for the month of November.

“These data imply corn used for ethanol during the September-to-

November quarter declined relative to the prior year for the first

time since 2012,” the USDA said.

Corn exports in 2018-19 were forecast at 2.450 billion bushels,

unchanged from November but up 12 million bushels from the

2017-18 outgo of 2.438 billion bushels.

Food and residual use of corn in 2018-19 was forecast at 5.500

billion bushels, unchanged from November and up 4% from 5.298

billion bushels in 2017-18. The USDA forecast the carryover of

soybeans on Sept. 1, 2019, at 955 million bushels, unchanged from

November and up 517 million bushels, or 118%, from 438 million

bushels in 2018. All supply forecasts were unchanged for 2018-19

with the carry-in estimated at 438 million bushels, production at

4.600 billion bushels and imports at 25 million for a total supply of

5.063 billion bushels. Soybean imports were forecast at 25 million

bushels, up 3 million from 2017-18.

All demand forecasts for 2018-19 also were unchanged from

November. The soybean crush was forecast at 2.080 billion

bushels, up 25 million bushels from 2017-18. Seed use was

forecast at 96 million bushels, down 8 million bushels from the

previous year. Residual use was forecast at 32 million bushels, up

24 million from 2017-18. Soybean exports were forecast at 1.900

billion bushels, down 229 million bushels, or 11%, from 2.129

billion bushels in 2017-18.

Ukrainewillincreasewheatexportsto18milliontonnesin2019

Wheat production in Ukraine in 2019 will remain virtually

unchanged, while exports will increase by 2 million tonnes, to 18

million tonnes, President of the Ukrainian Grain Association

MykolaHorbachev has said.“Next year, wheat production will be

at the same level – perhaps 1 million tonnes more, everything

depends on weather. We expect more favorable conditions for

yields, so we expect exports to reach 18 million tonnes (this year

16 million tonnes),” he said.

Arevolutionarydeve-lopmentforgraintrading

The companies said they are going to leverage blockchain technology and artificial intelligence to standardize and digitize international grain trading. The first area the ABCDs are targeting is automating grain and oilseed post-trade processes.

“Many aspects of agricultural trading are highly manual and costly: paper documents, facsimiles, manual retyping of data, and so on,” the companies said. “And many transactions still utilize hard copy transfers of documents.

What is blockchain technology and how can it improve the grain trading process? In a nutshell, blockchain is a shared record of data maintained by a network of computers, rather than a trusted third party. For the purposes of international grain trading, it's nothing more than a shared digital ledger. It lists all the transactions that have taken place on the blockchain platform. New transactions can always be added to the ledger, but the existing shared data on the blockchain can never be tampered with or modified, because so many versions of it exist on other computers. Once the trade is entered on the ledger, a commodity's seller knows he has been paid, and the currency resides in a digital wallet. The buyer knows he now owns the title to those goods. Sellers receive better payment security by seeing that currency immediately has been transferred, and buyers receive better access to the supply chain.

It remains to be seen if other international grain traders such as China-based Cofco and Japan-based Mitsui will join the blockchain movement. More than likely they will. When the

opportunity arises to implement that time-honored business practice of cutting out the middleman, which results in cost-savings and better efficiency, companies usually don't hesitate. Some of the biggest companies in the world, including Microsoft, Samsung and Nestle, already are using the technology for various purposes.

Remarkably, though, a 2017 Deloitte survey found that 39% of senior executives at large U.S. companies that were part of a survey on blockchain technology indicated that they had “little” or “no” knowledge of it. It would behoove them to quickly learn how it works and how it can benefit their respective companies.

Of course, nothing is perfect and one downside to this type of technology is the potential elimination of jobs, not just in the agribusiness sector but in all industries. This is nothing new, however, as the grain, flour and feed industries that our magazine covers have been reducing labor costs in the name of technology for decades. Commercial flour and feed mills, for example, which used to require dozens of workers to operate them manually, are now highly automated and require far less manpower.

Still, blockchain technology's potential to help companies operate more efficiently, whether it involves streamlining the grain trading process or better tracking of global supply chains, is an overall positive development with far-reaching impact. Blockchain technology is no longer a far-fetched concept out of a science fiction novel. It is a reality, and it will be affecting grain trading and other aspects of our business in the not too distant future.

A joint press release from the so-called ABCDs of global agribusiness — Archer Daniels Midland Co., Bunge Ltd., Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus Company — is both unusual and worthy of our attention. In a truly revolutionary development, the four agribusiness giants, who for years have waged fierce competition against one another for market share in the grain trading sector, announced on Oct. 25 that they plan to work together to modernize global agricultural commodity trading operations.

Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Shri Radha Mohan Singh has said that the technologies developed by the ICAR have significantly contributed to an increase in foodgrain, horticultural crops, milk, fish and eggs production. Addressing In-Session Meeting of Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare “ on Agri-entrepreneurship and Start-ups for enhancing farmer's income” today, he said that besides aiming to double farmers' income, Hon'ble Prime Minister has also given priority to Start-up India Mission. The ICAR has added this dimension in the field of agriculture which will provide employment opportunities to the youth along with income enhancement of the farmers. In this direction, several steps have been taken at different levels including providing training to the farmers at Krishi Vigyan Kendras on various subjects related to agriculture under the Entrepreneurship Development Programs

FoodgrainStorageCapacityDepending on requirement in specific areas and for modernization of storage facilities, Government has been implementing following schemes for construction of godowns and silos in the country:

i. Private Entrepreneurs Guarantee (PEG) Scheme: Under this Scheme, which was formulated in 2008, storage capacity is created by private parties, Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) and State Government Agencies for guaranteed hiring by FCI. A capacity of 141.82 LMT has been created as on 31.10.2018. Under this scheme, no funds are allocated by Government for construction of godowns and full investment is done by the private parties/CWC/State Agencies by arranging their own funds and land. After a godown is constructed and taken over by Food Corporation of India (FCI), storage charges are paid to the investor for a guaranteed period of 9/10 years irrespective of the quantum of foodgrains stored.

ii. Central Sector Scheme: This scheme is implemented in the North Eastern States along with Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand and Kerala. Funds are released by Government to FCI and also directly to State Governments for construction of godowns. A total capacity of 1,91,180 MT has been completed by FCI and State Governments during last 5 years from 01.04.2013 up to 31.10.2018.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Consumer Affairs, Food &Public Distribution, and Shri C.R. Chaudhary in Lok Sabha.

(EDPs) and support with technical resources.

The Minister informed that in order to make agriculture more attractive to rural educated youth, the Attracting and Retaining Youth in Agriculture (ARYA) scheme is proving to be very effective. The Student READY (Rural Entrepreneurship Awareness Development Yojana) programme has also been initiated to reorient graduates of agriculture and allied subjects for ensuring and assuring employability and developing entrepreneurs. The ICAR has also setup a network of 25 Agri-business Incubation (ABI) Centers, keeping in view the spectrum of technologies, available infrastructure and the core competency of the institutes. The efforts of these centers are resulting in new startups which are coming in the market. Encouraged by all these efforts, entrepreneurs/start-ups have demonstrated their achievements at state and national levels.

The Minister concluded by requesting the members present to provide their suggestions and support to the programmes & activities; and hoped for cooperation for their successful implementation.

iii. Construction of Steel Silos: In addition to conventional godowns, construction of steel silos has been undertaken in Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode for modernizing storage infrastructure and improving shelf life of stored foodgrains. As on 31.10.2018, a capacity of 11.75 LMT silos has been created.

Sufficient storage facilities are available for storage of central pool foodgrains stock in Andhra Pradesh. As on 31.10.2018, Storage capacity available with FCI for central pool stock is 12.32 Lakh MT [Covered – 10.72 LMT and Covered Area Plinth (CAP) – 1.60 LMT] against available foodgrain stock of 6.41 Lakh MT.

Current Storage capacity in the country is 877.37 Lakh MT (Covered – 749.90 LMT and CAP – 127.47 LMT) with FCI and State agencies as on 31.10.2018. The State-wise details are enclosed at Annexure-I.

The details of procurement of Rice, Wheat and pulses by FCI and State Government agencies for current marketing season are at Annexure-II.

The storage cost incurred by FCI for storing different grains in godowns is as given below:-

The effects of climate change along with rising pollution are causing direct harm not just to human beings, but also to the agricultural crops.Agriculture Ministry in a written response to the parliamentary committee said that crops like wheat, paddy, maize, potato, cotton, sorghum, mustard and coconut are likely to be badly affected by climate change.

The effects of climate change along with rising pollution are causing direct harm not just to human beings, but also to the agricultural crops.

Agriculture Ministry in a written response to the parliamentary committee said that crops like

wheat, paddy, maize, potato, cotton, sorghum, mustard and coconut are likely to be badly affected by climate change.

The ministry informed the parliamentary committee presided by BJP leader MurliManohar Joshi that production of wheat will decline by 6 to 23 percent by 2050 if proper steps are not taken in a timely manner. The production of wheat could reduce by 6,000 Kgs for every 1°C rise in the temperature.

The ministry further said that by 2050, maize production can fall by 18 percent. But if necessary and required steps are taken, maize production could actually be raised by 21 percent. Meanwhile, paddy production could also go down by 4 to 6 percent by 2020 because of climate change. But with the right involvement, production of paddy could also be increased by 17 to 20 percent.

thThe parliamentary committee has made the 30 report on

'Demonstrating National Action Plan on Climate Change'. The

National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) includes 8

'national missions,' one of which is sustainable agriculture.

ClimateChangeAffectingAgriculture,WheatProductioninIndiaCouldDropby23%:AgriMinistry

The committee while preparing the report had asked for data of

various agricultural programmes in effect and information on

how many were active and up to what degree. The committee

noted that the whole planet is getting affected by climate

change, due to which agriculture has been quite unfavorably

affected.

Climate change can also affect the quality of fodder. And with

the rise of carbon dioxide, there is an equivalent decrease in

the amount of zinc, protein, iron and other minerals in

grains.The committee has expressed dissatisfaction over

government's efforts in tackling the effects of climate change

on farming, which it termed insufficient. It also said that

fighting the ill-effects of climate change for the sake of growers

and farming will need more emphasis on organic farming.

Potato production could drop by 2.5 percent by 2020, 6 percent

by 2050 and 11 percent by 2080.Milk production is also

expected to suffer in the future.

ConsumersseebenefitsinwholegrainsLONDON, ENGLAND — Whole grains stood out among dietary staples as a food that is positive for digestive health, according to a survey from the London-based consultancy New Nutrition Business. Among consumers asked whether various food choices are good or bad for digestive health, 61% said whole grains are good and only 4.5% said whole grains are bad.

The survey involved 3,000 people from the United Kingdom, Australia, Spain, Brazil and the United States. At 4.5%, whole grains had the fewest naysayers of any of the 11 categories included in the survey. Only yogurt, fruit and vegetables had higher “good for digestive health” scores, at 69%, 83% and 78% respectively.

The whole grains “good for digestive health” figure of 61% easily

topped 47% for dairy milk, and 28% for meat.

Overall, grain-based foods received mixed reviews in the survey. Bread was described as good for digestive health by 24% of respondents but bad by 39%. By contrast, breakfast cereals were described as good by 36% and bad by 12%.

The Grain Foods Foundation, Washington, D.C., U.S., has pointed to bread's fiber content as a positive in digestive health. In Americans' diets, grains provide 23% of the fiber, which adds bulk to the diet, helps with digestion and helps prevent constipation. White bread contains 2 grams of fiber per 100 grams, and whole wheat bread contains 6.5 grams of fiber per 100 grams.

As was the case for bread, consumers were highly conflicted about many foods, with a large percentage of respondents describing the product as good for digestive health and many remaining respondents describing the food as bad. For instance, 28% of consumer believe meat is good for digestive health and 33% believes it is bad. In addition to 47% of consumers who believe dairy milk is good for digestive health, 31% believe it is bad.

“Contradictory consumer beliefs about which foods are good or bad for digestive health indicate how strongly attitudes about food and health are fragmented,” said Joana Maricato, research

manager at New Nutrition Business. “Most people are adopting a wide variety of behaviors in relation to diet and health.”

She gave a mistrust in official dietary guidelines as a reason for the variety of behaviors. In the survey 76% said they thought messages about diet and health were confusing.

“Changes in dietary advice over the past 15 years have created consumer skepticism about the expert opinions of dietitians and

With the start of New Year 2019, the Prime Minister's flagship program e-NAM has achieved another milestone by commencing inter-State trade between mandis of two different States. Earlier trade used to happen either within the APMC or between two APMCs situated within same state. The very first Inter State transaction in tomatoes has been carried out between trader of Bareilly e-NAM APMC of Uttar Pradesh and farmer of Haldwani e-NAM APMC of Uttarakhand. Similarly, the inter -State transactions in potatoes, brinjal& cauliflower have been carried out between the e-NAM mandis of Uttarakhand& Uttar Pradesh. In all the cases, e-payments have been made through e-NAM portal. This will helps farmers get better market access, more buyers/ traders & realise better prices for their produce.

To facilitate inter State trade between the e-NAM States, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare, Govt. of India, conducted series of coordination meetings with concerned States and Mandi board officials/ Mandi secretaries. As a result of these interactions, both the States have now facilitated licensing of traders of each other for inter-State trade on e-NAM portal.

E-NAM i.e. National Agriculture Market is a pan-India electronic trading (e-trading) portal which seeks to network the existing

physical regulated wholesale market (known as APMC market) through a virtual platform to create a unified national market for agricultural commodities. e-NAM platform promotes better marketing opportunities for the farmers to sell their produce through online competitive and transparent price discovery system and online payment facility. It also promotes prices commensurate with quality of produce. The e-NAM portal provides single window services for all APMC related information and services. This includes commodity arrivals, quality &prices, buy & sell offers & e-payment settlement directly into farmers' account, among other services.

Farmers can access the information on e-NAM easily through their mobile phones from anywhere. This online trading platform aims at reducing transaction costs, bridging information asymmetry and helps in expanding the market access for farmers. So far, 585 Regulated Markets of 16 States and 2 Union Territories have been integrated to e-NAM platform. Government has also decided to integrate additional 415 markets by March, 2020. “Logistic providers” information is also being provided in the e-NAM portal to traders from outside the State, which will facilitate transportation of commodities after trading. An Inter-State dashboard on e-NAM platform has been developed to promote inter State trade among e-NAM States
