USDA : WASDE, 10.11.02

USDA U.S. Department of Agriculture - October 11, 2002

WASDE-391  October 11, 2002


WHEAT:  Projected 2002/03 ending stocks of wheat are down
36 million bushels from last month as reduced production
more than offsets smaller use.  Projected ending stocks,
at 371 million bushels, are 406 million bushels below the
revised carryin level and the lowest since 340 million
bushels in 1973/74.  Estimated production published in
the September 30 Small Grains 2002 Summary is down 62
million bushels from the previous forecast.  Spring wheat
(including durum) is down 46 million bushels, largely
because of lower harvested area.  Winter wheat is 16
million bushels below the previous forecast due to lower
area and yield.  Projected feed and residual use is
reduced 25 million bushels because the September 1 stocks
implied smaller-than-expected use in the June-August
quarter.  The projected price range is narrowed 10 cents
on each end to $3.55 to $3.95 per bushel.

Projected 2002/03 global production, use, and ending
stocks are down slightly from last month.  Foreign
production is reduced marginally as smaller expected
crops in Australia, Brazil, and the EU more than offset
increases for Russia and several other countries.  Global
imports are up slightly from last month, largely due to
lower production and higher imports for Brazil.  The
smaller crop is expected to reduce Australian exports by
2 million tons.  Balancing the higher global imports and
reduced Australian exports are increases of 1 million
tons each for Russia and India and 0.5 million tons for
the EU.  The United States, India, and Russia account for
most of the reduction in projected 2002/03 global ending
stocks.

COARSE GRAINS:  Projected 2002/03 ending stocks of corn
are up 35 million bushels from last month as the higher
production more than offsets increased use and reduced
beginning stocks.  Reported beginning stocks are 37
million bushels below last month's forecast.  Production
is up 121 million bushels from last month due to higher
yields, but the corn crop is still expected to be the
smallest since 1995/96.  Reduced production of barley and
oats, published in the September 30 Small Grains 2002
Summary, is largely reflected in lower projected feed and
residual use.  Projected feed and residual use of corn is
increased 50 million bushels this month to offset lower
barley and oat use.  The projected 2002/03 corn price
range is lowered 5 cents on each end to $2.30 to $2.70
per bushel.

Projected 2002/03 global coarse grain production, use,
and ending stocks are up slightly from last month. 
Foreign coarse grain production is down marginally from
last month as reductions for Australia barley, Canada
barley and oats, China millet and sorghum, and India
millet more than offset increases for Russia barley,
Ukraine and Serbia corn, and EU barley and oats.  There
are a number of largely offsetting changes in global
2002/03 coarse grain trade, use, and ending stocks.

RICE:  U.S. 2002/03 rice supplies are projected at a
record 263.9 million cwt, 2 percent above last month and
4 percent above 2001/02.  Rice production is forecast at
211.9 million cwt, 3 percent above last month, and just
fractionally below the 2001/02 record.   U.S. average
yield for 2002/03 is forecast at a record 6,608 pounds
per acre, nearly 3 percent above last month and last
year.  Long-grain production is forecast at 157.4 million
cwt, nearly 3 percent above last month, but 5 percent
below the 2001/02 record.  Combined medium- and short-
grain production is forecast at 54.5 million cwt, nearly
3 percent above last month, and 14 percent above 2001/02. 
Imports in 2002/03 are projected at 13 million cwt, 2
percent below last month and slightly below the revised
2001/02 level.  

Domestic and residual use for 2002/03 is projected at a
record 125.0 million cwt, 1 percent below last month, but
nearly 3 percent above revised 2001/02.  Exports are
projected at 97 million cwt, 2 percent above last month
and 3 percent above the revised 2001/02 estimate. 
Exports of rough rice and milled rice are projected at 32
million cwt and 65 million cwt (rough-equivalent basis),
respectively.  Ending stocks, at 41.9 million cwt, are up
nearly 12 percent from last month, 8 percent above
2001/02, and the largest since 1986/87.  The season-
average price range for 2002/03 is lowered 35 cents per
cwt on each end to $3.50 to $4.00 per cwt compared to
$4.17 per cwt in 2001/02.  The price decline is due
largely to continued weak international prices, record
domestic supplies, and low prices reported by NASS for
the first 2 months of the marketing year. 

Global 2002/03 rice production, consumption, exports, and
ending stocks are raised slightly from a month ago.  The
increase in global rice production is due primarily to
larger crops projected for Pakistan, Nigeria and the
United States, which are partially offset by decreases
for South Korea and Japan.  Rice exports are raised for
Pakistan, Vietnam, and the United States.  Global rice
ending stocks in 2002/03 are projected at 105.5 million
tons, up slightly from last month, but 20 percent below
2001/02 and the lowest since 1987/88.

OILSEEDS:  U.S. oilseed ending stocks for 2002/03 are
projected at 5.8 million tons, up 0.4 million tons from
last month, primarily due to increased beginning stocks
of soybeans.  Oilseed production for 2002/03 is forecast
at 81.9 million tons, down 0.6 million tons from last
month, mainly due to reductions for sunflowerseed and
canola.  Soybean production is forecast at 2,654 million
bushels, 2 million below last month.  Soybean crush is
unchanged this month as improved domestic meal use
prospects offset a decline in soybean meal exports. 
Domestic soybean meal use is increased 150,000 tons to
offset lower available supplies of other protein meals. 
Soybean meal export prospects are lower due to increased
foreign competition.  Soybean oil stocks are reduced as
increased domestic use more than offsets reduced exports. 

U.S. season-average soybean prices are projected at $5.05
to $5.95 per bushel, compared with $5.15 to $6.05 last
month.  Soybean meal prices are also lower at $165 to
$195 per short ton.  Soybean oil prices are unchanged at
19 to 22 cents per pound.

Global oilseed production for 2002/03 is projected at
317.9 million tons, down 1.2 million tons from last month
due to reductions in both foreign and U.S. production. 
Foreign production is reduced 0.6 million tons to 236
million tons.  Reduced soybean production prospects for
Canada and lower forecast rapeseed production in the EU
account for most of the foreign production change.

SUGAR:  Projected U.S. sugar production for fiscal year
2002/03, at 8.445 million short tons, raw value, is
unchanged this month.  Imports under the tariff rate
quota (TRQ) are increased due to the waiver issued to
allow entry of 23,000 tons of Mexico's 2001/02 quota in
the 2002/03 fiscal year (See FAS news release 0363-02). 
The year-ending stocks-to-use ratio is 15.5 percent,
compared with 15.4 percent last month.

For 2001/02, beginning stocks are increased due to
company-reported revisions in 2000/01 year-ending stocks. 
Despite higher imports under the re-export programs,
total 2001/02 imports are reduced slightly.  Imports
under the TRQ are reduced, mainly by the waiver and
Mexico's shortfall in filling the TRQ.  The year-ending
stocks-to-use ratio is 16.6 percent, compared with 16.7
percent last month.

For 2000/01, beet sugar production is increased 88,000
tons, due to company-reported revisions.  Final
adjustments by the U.S. Customs Service increased imports
under the TRQ by 17,000 tons.  Residual statistical
discrepancies cause miscellaneous uses to increase to
108,000 tons.

LIVESTOCK, POULTRY, AND DAIRY:  Forecast meat production
is raised for 2002 as higher beef and poultry production
are expected to more than offset lower pork production. 
Beef production is raised this month as dairy producers
are culling larger than normal numbers of less-efficient
cows.  Although eggs set data indicate fourth-quarter
broiler production will be lower than forecast last
month, higher-than-expected production during the third
quarter results in a raised annual 2002 production
forecast.  Cattle prices are lowered as supplies of beef
are forecast higher, and hog prices are raised as fourth-
quarter slaughter is lowered from last month.  Poultry
prices are unchanged from last month. 

The September 27 Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report indicated
producers intend to have fewer sows farrow in late 2002
and early 2003.  Thus, 2003 pork production is reduced
from last month.  As producers are expected to continue
marketing large numbers of heavyweight cattle, beef
production forecasts in the first half of 2003 are
raised.  The poultry production forecast is little
changed from last month.  Large supplies will continue to
weigh on meat prices.  Cattle prices in 2003 are forecast
lower than last month as beef supplies will remain
relatively large.  Hog prices are forecast higher as
reduced farrowings are expected to lead to lower hog
slaughter in 2003.  Poultry prices are unchanged.

Milk production forecasts for 2001/02 and 2002/03 are
unchanged from last month.  Demand is expected to remain
relatively weak, leading to higher forecast commercial
stocks for both years.  Prices are little changed. 

COTTON:  U.S. 2002/03 cotton production and exports are
reduced this month, reflecting adverse weather and
slightly weaker world demand, respectively.  Production
is lower in the Southeast due to a combination of weather
problems.  Domestic mill use is unchanged from last
month.  Exports are reduced nearly 2 percent, reflecting
sluggish demand by foreign mills.  These changes result
in an increase in ending stocks to a level of 6.8 million
bales.

The 2002/03 world outlook includes slightly lower
consumption and trade.  World production is virtually
unchanged from last month, as reductions for Australia,
the United States, and Uzbekistan are about offset by
increases for India, Syria, and Turkey.  Consumption is
reduced mainly in South Korea and Brazil.  Exports are
reduced for Australia, the African Franc Zone, the United
States, and Uzbekistan.  World ending stocks are raised
nearly 2 percent from last month.

For 2001/02, U.S. ending stocks are calculated as supply
minus use, pending further revisions in the stocks survey
conducted by the Bureau of the Census.  The Bureau has
indicated that it will publish a revision in late
October.

Note: Public Law 106-78, signed October 22, 1999, requires the Secretary of
Agriculture to estimate and report the U.S. upland cotton season-ending
stocks-to-use ratio, excluding projected raw cotton imports but including the
quantity of raw cotton imports that has been imported during the marketing
year.  Pursuant to this requirement, the estimated ratio for 2002/03 is 34.9
percent.
