Once upon a time (just ten years ago), the EU dominated much of the international barley market, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East. Competitors, such as Australia and Canada, faced the EU’s comparative freight and logistical advantages (there were also small erratic suppliers, such as Syria and Turkey). The EU support programs guaranteed high prices and stimulated production, while export subsidy programs helped to ensure that EU barley had a competitive price advantage against other countries.

However, it is all different now. Global barley trade dynamics have changed dramatically with the emergence of low-cost supplies and increased competition from Russia and Ukraine,which also happen to be competitive regional exporters that can match the EU’s comparative freight and logistical advantages. EU policies and programs have reduced market and support prices, stimulated domestic use, and de-emphasized export subsidies as a market-clearing mechanism. Recent regulation changes will soon eliminate intervention support for barley, which could cause some acreage to shift to more profitable crops, and further reduce exportable supplies.

Note: Consumption in this table has not been adjusted for differences in marketing year imports and exports

and therefore differs from global totals shown elsewhere.

Marketing years for U.S. grains are: Wheat (Jun-May), Rice (Aug-Jul), Corn (Sep-Aug).

'Marketing Year' column is germane for U.S. wheat only.

Domestic: Prices for all classes of wheat fell through the first week in February, except for Hard Red Spring (HRS) which was unchanged. Growing global supplies more than offset a slight uptick in U.S. export sales. Soft and Hard Red Winter showed the largest declines, of $24 and $18/ton, respectively, while Soft White fell $10/ton. TRADE CHANGES IN 2009/10 Selected Exporters:

• Argentina is raised 1.0 million tons to 4.0 million on higher production and increased exportable supplies.

• Pakistan is halved to 500,000 tons based on reduced exports to Afghanistan.

• Turkey is up 300,000 tons to 2.6 million due to higher expected flour shipments to Iraq

and Indonesia. Selected Importers:

• Afghanistan is raised 700,000 tons to 2.0 million as the pace of wheat flour shipments from Kazakhstan remains brisk.

• Iran is cut 1.0 million to 3.5 million based on the slow pace of imports.

• Pakistan is halved to 500,000 due to increased domestic supplies and minimal imports to

date.

• Turkey is up 500,000 tons to 2.5 million based on the strong pace of trade, particularly from Russia.

• Uzbekistan is increased 400,000 tons to 1.4 million on the strong pace of flour shipments

from Kazakhstan. • United States is up 150,000 tons to 3.3 million because of expected feed-quality wheat

imports from Brazil and Europe.

US-Thai Price Spread Thai-Viet Price Spread

$/MTFor most of this decade, the spread between U.S. #2/4 quotes and Thai 100B quotes was positive and moved rather slowly. Likewise, the difference between Thai 100B quotes and Vietnamese 5% quotes was mostly positive and fairly small. This pattern changed in 2008 when Thai quotes fell below U.S. quotes, and the gap between Thai and Vietnamese quotes ballooned. At the same time, prices at all origins were changing quickly and not always in the same direction, creating volatility in the spread. In the past few months, however, it seems that this volatility has diminished as quotes have tended to move in the same direction. In addition, the U.S.-Thai spread has been shrinking and is near zero. With the completion of the Philippine tenders, there may be more stability in the Thai-Viet spread, as well. TRADE CHANGES

Selected Exporters:

• Burma is down 200,000 tons to 800,000 in 2010 due to depleted stocks after 2009

exports reached the highest level in over 40 years. • Egypt is up 150,000 tons to 600,000 in 2010 on the government announcement that

additional export licenses will be granted due to sufficient domestic supplies. • Uruguay is raised 126,000 tons to a record 926,000 for 2009 and raised 108,000 tons to

742,000 for 2008 based on new trade data. Selected Importers:

• South Africa is boosted 150,000 tons to 800,000 for 2009 on near-final trade data.

• Venezuela is doubled to 300,000 tons for 2010 on weather-related crop shortages.

TU.S. Gulf Argentina Up River

Brazil Paranagua

Throughout January, U.S. corn export quotes continued a nearly $30 per ton slide to about $165 following USDA data indicating a record crop. Argentine and Brazilian quotes largely moved with U.S., but the normal pre-harvest discount ($20) has narrowed because of strong sales and shipments. TRADE CHANGES IN 2009/10 Selected Exporters

• U.S. corn is cut 2.0 million tons to 50.0 million based on the pace of shipments, despite

some improved sales in recent weeks. • Argentine corn is raised 2.0 million tons to 9.5 million because of strong shipments in

recent months and improved prospects for new crop corn.

• EU barley is lowered 500,000 tons to 1.5 million, the lowest in 6 years, on the continued slow pace of export licenses and large early-season intervention offers.

• Turkey barley is raised 450,000 tons to 500,000 on large feed-barley export tenders by

the Turkish Grain Board.

• U.S. sorghum is boosted 200,000 tons to 3.8 million with commitments running well ahead of last year. (Japanese and Mexican sorghum imports are each boosted 100,000 tons.)

Selected Importers

• Vietnamese corn is boosted 200,000 tons to 900,000 based on strong trade with Thailand.

• Iran barley is lowered 200,000 tons based on a slow early-season import pace.

OTHER NOTES Local Marketing Years (LMY): LMY refers to the 12-month period following the main harvest, when the crop is marketed (i.e., consumed, traded, or stored). The year first listed begins a country's LMY for that commodity (2008/09 starts in 2008); except for summer grains in certain Southern Hemisphere countries and for rice in selected countries, where the second year begins the LMY (2008/09 starts in 2009). Key exporter LMY’s are:

Wheat Corn Barley Sorghum Argentina (Dec/Nov) Argentina (Mar/Feb) Australia (Nov/Oct) Argentina (Mar/Feb) Australia (Oct/Sep) Brazil (Mar/Feb) Canada (Aug/Jul) Australia (Mar/Feb) Canada (Aug/Jul) China (Oct/Sep) EU-27 (Jul/Jun) United States (Sep/Aug) China (Jul/Jun) South Africa (May/Apr) Russia (Jul/Jun) EU-27 (Jul/Jun) United States (Sep/Aug) Ukraine (Jul/Jun) India (Apr/Mar) United States (Jun/May) Kazakhstan (Jul/Jun) Russia(Jul/Jun) Turkey (Jun/May) Ukraine (Jul/Jun) United States (Jun/May)

For a complete list of local marketing years, please see the FAS website (http://www.fas.usda.gov/psdonline/psdAvailability.aspx). Stocks: Unless otherwise stated, stock data are based on an aggregate of differing local marketing years and should not be construed as representing world stock levels at a fixed point in time. Consumption: World totals for consumption reflect total utilization, including food, seed, industrial, feed, and waste; as well as differences in local marketing year imports and local marketing year exports. Consumption statistics for regions and individual countries, however, reflect food, seed, industrial, feed, and waste only. Trade: All PSD tables are balanced on the different local marketing years. All trade tables contain Trade Year (TY) data which puts all countries on a uniform, 12-month period for analytical comparisons: wheat is July/June; coarse grains, corn, barley, sorghum, oats, and rye are Oct/Sept; and rice is calendar year. EU Consolidation: The trade figures starting from 1999/00 represent EU-27 and exclude all intra-trade. For the years 1960/61 through 1998/99, figures are the EU-15 and also exclude all intra-trade. EU-15 member states' data for grains are no longer maintained in the official USDA database. Data for the individual NMS-10, plus Bulgaria and Romania, exists only prior to 1999/00. Statistics: (1) Wheat trade statistics include wheat, flour, and selected pasta products on a grain equivalent basis. (2) Rice trade statistics include rough, brown, milled, and broken on a milled

equivalent basis. (3) Coarse grains statistics include corn, barley, sorghum, oats, rye, millet, and mixed grains but exclude trade in barley malt, millet, and mixed grains. Unaccounted: This term includes grain in transit, reporting discrepancies in some countries, and trade to countries outside the USDA database. The Field Crops and Livestock Branch, Industry and Sector Analysis Division, Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA, Washington DC 20250, prepared this circular. Information is gathered from official statistics of foreign governments and other foreign source materials, reports of U.S. agricultural attachés and Foreign Service officers, office research, and related information.
