Farmonline, 05/05 - Research conducted by Edith Cowan University and the CSIRO has resulted in tools which will allow plant breeders to detect the proteins responsible for non-coeliac wheat sensitivity. For Australian farmers to receive a premium price they need to target commodities towards what the consumer perceives is a premium product. While an estimated one-in-ten people suffer from a diagnosed wheat sensitivity, resulting in a wide spectrum of health issues, up to 30 per cent of consumers are believed to avoid wheaten products due to perceived intolerance. A joint research project conducted by the Edith Cowan University and CSIRO is on track to help develop strains of wheat with reduced allergen potential ...

IFPRI, MENA Policy Note, April 2020 - Egypt’s recent economic success will almost certainly be interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We examine the likely impact on the Egyptian economy of a significant reduction in tourism, payments received from the Suez Canal, and remittances from Egyptians working abroad because of the slowdown in the global economy due to the COVID-19 virus. Our results suggest that COVID-19 could reduce national GDP by between 0.7 and 0.8 percent (EGP 36 to 41 billion) for each month that the global crisis continues. Similarly, household consumption and expenditure is estimated to decline on average by between EGP 153 and EGP 180 per person per month, which is between 9.0 and 10.6 percent of average household income. The cumulative loss in GDP from ...

Le Covid-19 a engendré une crise sanitaire mondiale sans précédent par la rapidité de sa propagation et de son évolution. Jacques Brulhet, Vice-président de l’Académie d’agriculture de France et Papa Abdoulaye Seck, ancien ministre de l’Agriculture et de l’Equipement rural du Sénégal et membre de l’Académie d’agriculture de France, craignent que cette crise sanitaire n’engendre une crise alimentaire et humanitaire encore plus grave, notamment pour les pays du sud, et s’interrogent sur la « survie » de la mondialisation des marchés agricoles. L’interdépendance risque d’être sacrifiée, et l’absence de solidarité entre les pays érigée en règle, redoutent-ils.

European Commission, DG Agri, 27/04 - In light of an ample supply and low prices for maize worldwide, the automatic mechanism calculating import duties was triggered, setting as of today import duty on maize, sorghum and rye at € 5.27 per tonne. This will ensure that European producers are not put at a disadvantage in the current market conditions. The revised tariff, published on 27 April 2020 in the Official Journal, is calculated according to EU regulation 642/2010. It explains that the import duty for the three cereals is based on the difference between a European reference price and the world benchmark for maize – the US price, calculated as cif maize price (i.e. cost, insurance and freight included) at the port of Rotterdam.

Reuters, 28/04 - The abrupt halting of the U.S. economy last month closed restaurants overnight and led to a huge shift in consumer demand toward retail, a huge blow for meatpackers and food processors with a primary focus on food service. The rise in retail meat sales was never expected to fully replace the demand losses in the hospitality industry, but now meat supply at the grocery store could come under pressure as COVID-19 has forced the closure of several U.S. slaughterhouses. Thus far, the plant closures have mainly affected pork and beef, which account for roughly half of all meat processed annually in the country. Animals and feed ingredients are plentiful in the United States, but the slaughterhouse bottleneck has and will cause pain for producers of both, as well as for consumers still cooking at home ...

The Hindu Business line, 27/04 - From heavy monsoon rains to lockdown disruptions, rabi 2019-20 has been no cakewalk. The wheat crop of rabi 2019-20 will probably go down as the one with the most chequered life cycle in recent times. Even before sowing started, penalties were imposed in some regions for stubble-burning after the kharif harvest. More disturbingly, late and heavy monsoon rains in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Rajasthan left the land unsuitable for sowing. Nevertheless, despite the delays and even re-sowing of land cleared of damaged crops, planting continued well into ...

US Wheat Associates, 29/04 - The condition of the U.S. hard red winter (HRW) wheat crop is not improving. Farmers – and the markets – are concerned about the threats to yield potential from wide-spread April freezes and increasing dryness across a significant portion of the Central and Southern Great Plains. USDA’s most recent crop condition ratings reflect the weather effects on the 2020-21 winter wheat crop, reducing the total crop rated good to excellent from 62 percent to 57 percent. According to Romulo Lollato, Kansas State University Wheat and Forages Specialist, drought weakens winter wheat’s ability to recover from freeze damage and both conditions challenge winter wheat yield potential. So the change in ratings is focused on the HRW crop, based on the worsening dryness in north central and ...

World Grain, 28/04 — Following a record-breaking wheat harvest in 2019-20, Ukraine’ production is forecast to be 5% lower in the new market year, according to a report from the Foreign Agricultural Service of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Wheat production is estimated at 27.6 million tonnes for 2020-21, down from 29.1 million tonnes in the previous year. The forecast is based on available 2019 winter crop planting data and the assumption that spring planting will be at the same level as in 2019. . . .

Bloomberg, 04/05 - The wave of protectionist measures on agricultural goods that emerged as the coronavirus spread around the world has already begun to recede. Of at least 17 countries that sought to limit food exports to protect local supplies, about half have backtracked all or some of the measures, according to a tracker from the International Food Policy Research Institute. That includes several major grain shippers such as Vietnam and Romania, although top wheat exporter Russia has kept its curbs in place. Immediate worries about food shortages have eased in many parts of the world as supply chains continue to flow despite lockdowns. Meanwhile, even short-lived restrictions have resulted in ....

IPEMED, 19/04 - Cette crise sanitaire et économique nous atteint tous et toutes dans nos corps et/ou dans nos esprits. Nos villes sont silencieuses. Nous y sommes tous confinés. Ainsi, l’essentiel de notre temps est consacré à la réflexion, à des lectures et surtout à de longs échanges par courriel, sms, téléphone, etc… avec les amis. Le réseau IPEMED est très créatif, prospectif, ambitieux, engagé. À ce stade, après plus d’un mois de confinement, voici quelques réflexions personnelles, souvent déjà partagées avec plusieurs d’entre vous. Le nouvel ordre mondial à constituer n’empêche pas la régionalisation de l’économie de progresser : 80 % des échanges commerciaux de l’Europe se font au sein de la région Afrique/Méditerranée/Europe. Cette grande région AME reste à construire, comme les Asiatiques ont construit l’ASEAN+3 et les Américains avec l’accord ACEUM (ex ALENA) et l’UEA (Union des États Américains). Nous sommes de plus en plus nombreux à penser qu’entre l’État-Nation et le niveau mondial, il y a la place pour de nouveaux espaces régionaux de régulation collective. L’Union européenne devrait en sortir renforcée. Nous sommes nombreux à penser que l’intérêt de l’Europe, comme celui de l’Afrique, est de se rapprocher. Nous avons trop de défis communs à surmonter ensemble et de valeurs à préserver.

DG Agri, 20/04 - The short-term outlook is based on reflections of market experts within the European Commission's Department for Agriculture and Rural Development. This short-term outlook edition coincides with the unfolding of the Covid-19 crisis, making the exercise exceptionally challenging. Market forecasts are based on market intelligence available at the beginning of April 2020 and reflect the Covid-19 impact to the extent possible, with all the caveats and limitations in view of the rapidly evolving situation. In addition, for the first time market outlooks are presented for EU-27, and assume a frictionless trade between the EU and the UK in 2020.

The Economist, 03/05 - How this year’s crash differs from bear markets of the past. When a bear growls, it is natural to be frightened. Ditto in finance, where bear markets can mean rapid losses of wealth.

Reuters, 30/04 - Egyptian farmers have begun to harvest their wheat without the coronavirus disruptions hitting other growers globally, and with a plea from President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to sell the government as much of their crop as possible. Sisi has requested the import of 800,000 additional tonnes of wheat during the local buying season this year, a rare move reflecting global uncertainty over food supplies during the pandemic of COVID-19. Egypt said on Tuesday it had bought 578,000 tonnes of local wheat since the start of the season on April 15, a sizeable amount in just ten days of harvesting. The government has set a procurement price of 700 Egyptian pounds ($44.59) per ardeb (150 kg), which farmers say is a higher price than they were offered in previous years but is not hugely attractive given a surprise storm ...

World Grain 27/04 — Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan are turning to policy described as “food nationalism” — protecting their domestic grain markets amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including major grain export restrictions, a highly concerning development for countries dependent on their grain supplies. The price of grain has soared in the Eurasia Union during the past two months. In Russia, where the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths began spiking in mid-April, the price of wheat on the domestic market reached 13,300 rubles ($195) per tonne . . .

MARS bulletins - crop monitoring in Europe - April 27 - Western Europe experienced one of the driest starts to spring since 1979 - after a very wet winter - with almost no rain since mid March. Large parts of Poland, Ukraine and Romania have also faced dry conditions since the end of winter. Winter crops in most of these regions are still in good condition, but more rain is needed to sustain a positive yield outlook. However, the very dry upper soil layers are having a negative impact on sowing and emergence of spring and summer crops. Persistent drought in Morocco resulted in poor crop yield expectations.
