USDA : WASDE Report, 07.11.03

USDA U.S. Department of Agriculture - July 11, 2003


WASDE-400 July 11, 2003


Note: This report adopts U.S. area, yield, and production forecasts
for winter wheat, durum, other spring wheat, barley, and oats
released today by the National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS).  For other crops, area estimates reflect the June 30 NASS
Acreage report, and methods used to project yield are noted on
each table.  Survey-based area, yield, and production forecasts
reported by NASS will be adopted in the August 12 issue of this
report.  

Beginning with today's report, world supply and demand for
soybeans and total oilseeds excludes intra-EU trade.  Historical
revisions are available at www.usda.gov/oce.

WHEAT:  Projected U.S. 2003/04 ending stocks of wheat are up
134 million bushels from last month due to a sharply larger supply
and only a small increase in expected use.  Total wheat production
is forecast at 2.311 billion bushels, up more than 40 percent from
last year and the largest crop since 1998/1999.  Forecast winter
wheat production is 90 million bushels above last month due to
higher yields.  The first survey-based spring wheat (including
durum) production forecast is well above last month's projections,
despite lower planted area estimates in the June 30 Acreage report. 
Both the harvested-to-planted ratio and yield are higher than the
averages assumed last month.  Supplies are also boosted by larger
reported carryin stocks than forecast last month.  Projected exports
are up 25 million bushels due to larger U.S. supplies, lower U.S.
prices, and reduced competition.  The projected 2003/04 price
range is down 10 cents on each end to $2.80 to $3.40 per bushel.

Projected 2003/04 world wheat production is down slightly from last
month but use drops more, leaving ending stocks up slightly from
last month.  Foreign production is down slightly from last month as
reductions for Russia, Ukraine, Eastern Europe, and Pakistan are
only partially offset by increases for Canada and North Africa. 
Smaller supplies in Ukraine, Eastern Europe, and Pakistan result in
higher imports and reduced domestic use, exports, and ending
stocks.  Russia's smaller crop is reflected in smaller domestic use,
while EU exports, domestic use, and ending stocks decline from last
month's projections.   With the larger prospective crops, Canada's
exports are increased while North Africa's imports are reduced. 
Projected global ending stocks are up from last month due to the
larger U.S. crop, but are still down sharply from a year earlier.

COARSE GRAINS:  The 2003/04 outlook for U.S. feed grains is for
bigger crops, rising use, and slightly higher stocks.  Projected
2003/04 corn production is up 210 million bushels from last month
because crop conditions indicate prospective yields are higher than
the trend yields used last month.  However, all but 10 million
bushels of the production gain is offset by reduced carryin stocks
and higher use of corn for the production of ethanol.  The projected
price range for corn is unchanged from last month at $1.90 to $2.30
per bushel.

Forecast U.S. 2002/03 ending stocks of corn are down 75 million
bushels from last month due to higher prospective use of corn in
ethanol production and a 50-million-bushel increase in feed and
residual use.  Feed and residual use is higher because the June 1
stocks report indicated higher than expected use in the March-May
quarter.

Global 2003/04 coarse grain supply and use projections are up from
last month, largely because of the bigger U.S. corn crop.  Foreign
coarse grain production is little changed from last month as
reductions for Eastern Europe and Ukraine are largely offset by
increases for Canada and several other countries.  Lower
prospective corn exports for Eastern Europe are offset by increased
exports by Brazil from the 2002/03 crop.  Brazil's 2002/03 crop is
revised up 3 million tons to a record 43.5 million tons.  The larger
Brazilian corn crop also accounts for much of the rise in projected
global coarse grain stocks.

RICE:  U.S. rice production in 2003/04 is projected at 195 million
cwt, down 4 million cwt from last month and about 16 million cwt
below 2002/03.  Estimated harvested area of 2.97 million acres
reported in the NASS Acreage report is 46,000 acres below last
month, 240,000 acres below 2002/03, and the lowest since
1996/97.  Average yield for 2003/04 is adjusted slightly lower
because of a change in the distribution of reported area by type of
rice.  Long-grain rice production is projected at 145 million cwt, 2
million cwt above last month but 12.2 million cwt below 2002/03. 
Combined medium- and short-grain rice production is projected at
50 million cwt, 6 million cwt below last month, and down 3.7 million
cwt from 2002/03.  Projected imports for 2003/04 are raised slightly
to 15 million cwt.

Exports in 2003/04 are projected at 87 million cwt, down 1 million
cwt from last month and 33 million cwt below the revised 2002/03
estimate.  Ending stocks are projected at 17.5 million cwt, down 5
million cwt from last month, about 3 million cwt below the revised
2002/03 estimate, and the lowest stocks since 1980/81.  The
season-average farm price range for 2003/04 is raised $1.00 per
cwt on each end to $6.25 to $6.75 per cwt compared to $4.18 per
cwt for 2002/03.

U.S. exports for 2002/03 are forecast at a record 120 million cwt, 3
million cwt above last month.  Rough rice exports for 2002/03 are
increased to a record 45 million cwt and combined milled and brown
exports (rough-equivalent basis) are raised to 75 million cwt, up 1
and 2 million cwt, respectively, from a month ago.  The increase is
based largely on Census data reported through April and data from
the U.S. Export Sales report.

Global rice production for 2003/04 is projected at 394 million tons,
slightly above last month's largely trend-based projection, but nearly
13 million tons above 2002/03.  Global consumption for 2003/04 is
projected at a record 412 million tons, slightly above last month and
2002/03.  Global consumption is projected to exceed production for
the third consecutive year, resulting in a further drawdown in stocks
to 88.6 million tons, 3.5 million tons below last month, 18.1 million
tons below 2002/03, and the lowest stocks since 1984/85.  Global
exports in 2003/04 are projected at 25.4 million tons, nearly the
same as last month, but nearly 2 million tons below 2002/03. 

OILSEEDS:  U.S. oilseed ending stocks for 2003/04 are projected
at 8.0 million tons, up 2.8 million tons from 2002/03.  U.S. oilseed
production is projected at 87.9 million tons, up 4.6 million tons from
2002/03, primarily reflecting increased soybean production. 
Soybean production is projected at 2.89 billion bushels (78.5 million
tons), up 30 million bushels from last month because harvested
area reported in the June 30 Acreage report is above the June
projection.  Increased yields for other oilseeds, especially
sunflowerseed, will result in modest year-to-year production gains
despite lower area.

Total oilseed use for the U.S. is projected to rise modestly for
2003/04 as gains in domestic use are mostly offset by lower
exports.  U.S. soybean exports are projected at 990 million bushels,
up 30 million bushels from last month, but down 40 million bushels
from 2002/03.  The decline from 2002/03 reflects strong competition
expected from anticipated record soybean crops and stocks in
South America.  U.S. soybean crush is projected to increase only
15 million bushels for 2003/04, reflecting relatively slow growth in
domestic soybean meal use and limited soybean meal export
prospects.  Soybean oil supplies are expected to decline for
2003/04 due to reduced beginning stocks and the small increase in
soybean crush.  Expected modest growth in domestic soybean oil
use will curtail exports for 2003/04, which are projected to decline
by over 1 billion pounds to 1.1 billion pounds. 

The projected season-average soybean price for 2003/04 is lowered
10 cents on each end to $4.35 to $5.35 per bushel, compared with
$5.50 per bushel for 2002/03.  The lower price is the result of
projected increases in global stocks and increased oilseed supplies. 
The soybean meal price range is lowered 5 dollars on each end to
$145 to $175 per short ton, compared with $175 per ton projected
for 2002/03.  Soybean oil prices are projected  at 18 to 21 cents for
2003/04, down from 22 cents for 2002/03, reflecting significantly
larger global oilseed supplies.

Global oilseed production for 2003/04 is projected at a record 352.1
million tons, up 24.4 million tons from 2002/03.  Foreign oilseed
production of 264.2 million tons is up 19.8 million tons from
2002/03.  Almost half of the increase in global production is for
soybeans, with record crops indicated for Brazil and Argentina at 56
million tons and 37 million tons, respectively.  Combined soybean
production for Brazil and Argentina, which trailed U.S. soybean
production just two years ago, is expected to exceed U.S.
production by over 15 percent.  Expected global production of other
oilseeds is up 12.7 million tons, led by sharp increases for rapeseed
and cottonseed.  Rapeseed production for Canada rises almost 3
million tons due to higher area and a rebound from drought-reduced
yields.  China's rapeseed production is expected to rise by over 1
million tons to 11.6 million tons.  Global cottonseed production for
2003/04 increases by over 3 million tons, with China accounting for
about half of the gain.

Global consumption growth of both protein meals and vegetable oils
in 2003/04 is expected to exceed 4 percent.  Protein demand
growth will be driven by strong gains in China and several other
Asian and Mideastern countries.  Protein meal consumption for
China is expected to increase by 8 percent, led by gains for
soybean meal.  However, increased oilseed production in China will
limit oilseed import growth, with soybean imports projected to reach
18.5 million tons compared with 18.2 million tons in 2002/03. 
Global vegetable oil consumption is expected to gain 4-5 percent,
led by gains in China and in India.  India is expected to show a
moderate gain in per capita oil consumption after a decline in
2002/03.

U.S. soybean exports for 2002/03 are forecast at 1,030 million
bushels, up 20 million bushels from last month.  Seed use is
increased slightly due to higher planted area reported in the June 30
Acreage report.  These increases in use are more than offset by a
36-million-bushel reduction in residual use, raising soybean ending
stocks for 2002/03 by 15 million bushels, to 155 million bushels.

SUGAR:  Projected U.S. sugar supply for fiscal year 2003/04 is
reduced 60,000 short tons, raw value, from last month.  Lower cane
sugar production in Florida more than offsets higher beginning
stocks.  The decrease in Florida production reflects lower-than-
expected area intended for sugarcane harvest reported in the June
Acreage report.  For fiscal year 2002/03, imports under the re-
export programs are increased 40,000 tons based on higher-than-
expected pace to date.

LIVESTOCK, POULTRY, AND DAIRY:  Note:  The discovery of
bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in Canada resulted in the
United States placing a ban on imports of ruminant animals and
products from that country as of May 20.  Due to uncertainties as to
the length of the ban, the impact of BSE in this report is limited to
the impacts of the ban to date.  Subsequent estimates will reflect
information available at that time.  

Total U.S. meat production in 2003 and 2004 is projected higher
than last month.  Forecast 2003 beef and broiler production is
raised but forecast pork production is reduced fractionally.  Larger-
than-expected cattle slaughter in the second quarter has increased
near-term beef production forecasts, and higher forecast
placements through the summer are expected to lead to larger beef
production in the latter part of 2003 and early 2004.  The release of
USDA's Cattle report on July 18 will provide a basis for reevaluating
beef production into 2004.  Broiler production forecasts for 2003 are
raised as heavier bird weights more than offset continued lower egg
sets and chick placements.  The 2003 pork production forecast is
little changed from last month as higher-than- expected hog
slaughter in the second quarter is more than offset by declines in
forecast fourth-quarter slaughter.  The June 27 Quarterly Hogs and
Pigs report indicated that although producers intend to cut back on
production, the rate of decline is less than previously expected. 
Thus, projected 2004 pork production is raised from last month. 
Broiler and turkey production forecasts for 2004 are unchanged.

Meat imports for 2003 are reduced.  Beef import forecasts in the
second and third quarters reflect the cutoff of Canadian beef since
May 20.  Pork imports are raised from last month for both 2003 and
2004.  The meat export forecast for second-quarter 2003 is lowered
as beef and poultry exports for the quarter to date are below
expectations.  Beef sales to Mexico have been weak and poultry
sales to Asian markets are lower than expected.

Cattle prices for 2003 and 2004 are forecast lower than last month
as higher beef production is expected to limit cattle price gains. 
Hog price forecasts for 2003 are higher than last month as strong
beef prices supported second-quarter hog prices and the fourth-
quarter hog price forecast is raised.  Broiler price forecasts are
unchanged from last month but turkey price forecasts for 2003 are
lowered.  Pork and poultry price forecasts for 2004 are unchanged.

Dairy production forecasts for 2002/03 and 2003/04 are lowered
from last month as milk-per-cow forecasts are reduced.  Cheese
prices have risen sharply and are expected to remain above spring
levels through the fall.  As a result, the 2002/03 Class III price
forecast is raised to $10.15 to $10.25.  However, due to continued
large stocks of butter and surpluses of nonfat dry milk, the Class IV
price is not expected to respond much to higher cheese prices.  The
Class IV price is forecast at $9.95 to $10.15 per cwt.  The average
all milk price forecast is raised to $11.60 to $11.70 per cwt.  Price
forecasts for 2003/04 are little changed from last month. 

COTTON:  This month's U.S. projections for 2003/04 include lower
production and domestic mill use, larger exports, and lower stocks. 
Beginning stocks are 100,000 bales below last month.  Projected
U.S. production is reduced 3.5 percent this month to 16.6 million
bales, reflecting  planted area in the June 30 Acreage report
combined with historical average abandonment and yields. 
Domestic mill use is cut sharply to 6.8 million bales, as indicators of
both current mill activity and textile trade suggest reduced prospects
for next season.  U.S. exports are raised 2.6 percent due to
increasingly tight foreign supplies relative to demand.  Ending
stocks are reduced to 3.9 million bales, which is 21 percent of total
use.

World 2003/04 supply and demand projections show little change
from last month.  An increase in beginning stocks is about offset by
a reduction in world production, which mainly reflects the reduction
in the U.S. crop.  Likewise, world consumption is little changed as
the reduction in U.S. mill use is more than offset by higher
consumption overseas.  The world trade forecast is adjusted down
slightly.  World ending stocks, at about 33.0 million bales, are nearly
the same as last month and the lowest since 1994/95.

For 2002/03, U.S. mill use is reduced 100,000 bales based on
recent activity.  Exports are raised 200,000 bales to 11.6 million
bales, reflecting atypically strong end-of-season shipments. 
Accordingly, ending stocks are reduced 100,000 bales.  The
2002/03 world estimates include higher production and lower
consumption, resulting in an increase of nearly 2 percent in ending
stocks.  Production is raised in Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and others,
partially offset by a decrease for Syria.  Consumption is reduced in
Brazil, the United States, Taiwan, and others, partially offset by an
increase for China.
