While Australian agricultural exports to China remained steady in the first half of 2020, the latest trade data suggests that they will face considerable headwinds for the foreseeable future. As Beijing continues to target Australian agricultural industries with trade bans and tariffs, in an attempt to apply political pressure to Canberra, it is in Australia's interests to cultivate new export markets.

The Algarve’s dams only have enough water available to last until the end of the year, if there is no significant rainfall over the next few months, the Permanent Drought Monitoring Commission revealed in its most recent report.
According to the group, “it can be said that, at the end of June 2020, the situation in terms of availability of surface water in the water sources of the Algarve Multi-municipal Water Supply and Sanitation System (SMAASA), associated with management measures and strategies implemented, allow only to ensure the estimated consumption for the rest of the calendar year of 2020.

« Quand on parle de blé, la taille de la France grossit considérablement sur un planisphère. Au moment où nous prétendons être une puissance repère dans le monde, il est opportun de ne pas oublier le rôle que les céréales françaises ont joué, ces dernières décennies, pour remplir les assiettes des pays voisins européens et du pourtour de la Méditerranée »

Tandis que le blé européen peine à s'imposer à l'international, les imports de maïs et de colza augmentent rapidement. Euronext est resté sous pression ce lundi en l’absence de Chicago. Les marchés américains étaient en effet fermés à l’occasion du Labor Day. Le blé européen peine quant à lui à maintenir sa cadence haussière avec des exports européens qui restent particulièrement faibles en ce début de campagne. Le bureau australien à l’agriculture a par ailleurs relevé de 2,2 Mt son estimation de récolte nationale, à 28,9 Mt, soit un bond de 12 Mt par rapport à l’an dernier et la troisième plus grosse moisson historique du pays. La récolte de canola australien a également été revue à la hausse de 200 kt, à 3,4 Mt, contre 2,3 Mt

FAO lowered its forecast for world cereal production in 2020 by 25.0 million tonnes (0.9 percent) compared to the previous forecast in July. Notwithstanding this downturn in prospects, the expected global cereal output still stands at 2 765 million tonnes, an all-time high and 58 million tonnes above the 2019 outturn. This month’s production cutback results from a reduction in the world coarse grains forecast, now pegged at 1 496 million tonnes, down 23.5 million tonnes from the previous report in July. The bulk of the decline relates to a 26.3 million tonne downward revision to the maize production forecast in the United States of America (USA), where plantings, albeit still up year-on-year, are lower than earlier expectations and recent storm damage in the Midwest caused crop losses and impaired yield prospects. Overall, however, yields are still expected to recover from the previous year’s low level and the country’s output is forecast at 380 million tonnes, 10 percent higher than in 2019. Production forecasts were also lowered in the European Union (EU) and Ukraine, due to

Iowa’s grain storage facilities are picking up the pieces following the severe “derecho” storm that swept across the state on Aug. 10. Grain storage bins throughout Iowa were crushed as if they were empty soda cans. “The derecho storm dealt another gut punch to Iowa farmers, wiping out whole fields, demolishing grain bins and other farm buildings,” said Kim Reynolds, governor of Iowa. The storm unleashed winds of over 100 miles per hour, equivalent to an F1 tornado. Some have . . .

Xi Jinping launches ‘operation empty plates’ in face of virus, floods and trade tensions.
The timing of the high-profile campaign has stoked lively discussions about food shortages. The debate intensified after a report from the state-backed Chinese Academy of Social Sciences projected a potential food shortfall of 130m tonnes by 2025. Fears have worsened since the coronavirus pandemic, devastating floods and deepening tensions with the US. China’s agricultural ministry has sought to defuse anxiety by declaring “total confidence” in its ability to ensure grain supply, noting that the country produces more than 95 per cent of the grains it needs. Despite plentiful rice, corn and wheat, China remains dependent on imported soyabeans and is facing a pork shortage. Both issues are of acute concern for a president who preaches the need for self-sufficiency.

The European Union feed sector faces the long-term challenge of a structural shortage of protein meal, which makes it highly dependent on imported materials, notably soybeans and soymeal. At the same time, like the rest of the EU’s agricultural sector, it faces demands to be more sustainable, changing practices to fight climate change and environmental damage. Demand for animal feed in the EU is set to increase by 2 million tonnes of crude protein in 2019-20, reaching 84 million tonnes, the European Commission said when . . .

Les crises, qu’elles soient de nature économique, financière, sanitaire ou politique, ont cette capacité à rendre plus lisibles ou visibles les vulnérabilités ou les menaces alimentaires qui se profilent dans les pays concernés. Il en a été ainsi de la crise sanitaire dans un certain nombre de pays d’Europe qui ont mesuré les effets des délocalisations de leurs productions agricoles. Les appels à une souveraineté alimentaire impliquant des politiques agricoles nationales volontaristes et le retour vers des systèmes alimentaires territorialisés ont été affichés par les milieux agricoles, les organisations de la société civile et politique et les cercles académiques.
