Les prévisions concernant la production, l’utilisation et les stocks mondiaux de céréales revues à la baisse par rapport au mois dernier (Bulletin de la FAO sur l'offre et la demande de céréales)

Les prévisions concernant la production, l’utilisation et les stocks mondiaux de céréales revues à la baisse par rapport au mois dernier (Bulletin de la FAO sur l'offre et la demande de céréales) | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Les prévisions de la FAO concernant la production mondiale de céréales en 2022 ont été abaissées de 4,9 millions de tonnes par rapport au mois dernier et s’établissent à présent à 2 764 millions de tonnes, soit un recul de 1,8 pour cent (50,8 millions de tonnes) en glissement annuel. La plus grande partie de la baisse enregistrée ce mois-ci concerne le blé, tandis que les prévisions portant sur la production mondiale de céréales secondaires ont elles aussi été réduites, mais dans une moindre mesure. Compte tenu de l’ajustement à la baisse de 3,4 millions de tonnes apporté ce mois-ci, la production mondiale de blé devrait atteindre 783,8 millions de tonnes en 2022, soit encore 0,6 pour cent (4,5 millions de tonnes) de plus que le résultat de 2021, ce qui représenterait un niveau record. La révision à la baisse mensuelle concerne presque exclusivement la récolte de blé aux États-Unis d’Amérique, où les perspectives concernant les rendements et les superficies récoltées ont été réduites. Ailleurs, alors que la récolte des cultures de blé de 2022 touche à sa fin, les prévisions de production restent inchangées. Les prévisions concernant la production mondiale de céréales secondaires en 2022 ont elles aussi été rognées, de 1,3 million de tonnes, et s’établissent à présent à 1 467 millions de tonnes, soit une baisse de ...

AMIS Market Monitor, No. 103 November 2022

AMIS Market Monitor, No. 103 November 2022 | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Concerns are mounting regarding the extension of the United Nations Black Sea Grain Initiative beyond the 18 November deadline, especially after Russia's recent - albeit temporary - withdrawal from the agreement. Through this initiative, Ukraine has been able to ship over 9 million tonnes of grains and oilseeds via its Black Sea ports. While the volume of exports remains below year-ago levels, importers benefitted from larger supplies, especially those who depend on Ukraine's agricultural products, while consumers worldwide have gained through lower market prices. Unfortunately, the pace of exports slowed in recent weeks
as inspections could not keep up with the number of shipments; and now the possible termination of the deal threatens to re-ignite
market prices and further exacerbate global food security concerns.

Last FAO Food Price Index virtually unchanged in October, with higher world cereal prices almost offsetting lower prices of other food commodities

Last FAO Food Price Index virtually unchanged in October, with higher world cereal prices almost offsetting lower prices of other food commodities | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

The FAO Cereal Price Index averaged 152.3 points in October, up 4.4 points (3.0 percent) from September and 15.2 points (11.1 percent) above its value a year ago. International reference prices of all the major cereals were up month-on-month. World wheat prices rose by 3.2 percent, mostly reflecting continued uncertainties related to the Black Sea Grain Initiative. Tighter supplies in the United States of America, following a downward production revision, also contributed to the firmer tone in markets. International prices of coarse grains increased by 3.5 percent month-on-month, led by a 4.3-percent rise in world maize prices. The maize price increase was underpinned by lower production prospects in the United States of America and the European Union, along with dry planting conditions in Argentina and uncertainty about the continuation of Ukraine’s exports. International sorghum prices also increased by 3.0 percent in October, influenced by the strength in maize prices. Meanwhile, world barley prices increased only marginally (0.3 percent), with higher global supplies stemming from better production prospects in the European Union helping to cap price gains. International rice prices remained on an uptrend in October, as the bulk of new crop arrivals were still forthcoming in Asia, although low demand limited the monthly price increase to 1.0 percent.

At the end of October, conditions remain favourable for soybeans while mixed for wheat, maize, and rice. For wheat, dry conditions persist in Argentina while persistent rains continue in eastern Australia. In the northern hemisphere, winter wheat gets off to a mixed start in the US, Ukraine, and the Russian Federation. Maize harvesting continues in the northern hemisphere with poor conditions in parts of Europe and the US. Rice conditions remain generally favourable except in parts of China. Soybean harvesting continues in the northern hemisphere under generally favourable conditions as sowing progresses in Brazil.

While the researchers did not take car­bon seques­tra­tion into account, pre­vi­ous stud­ies have found that all three cat­e­gories of olive groves – tra­di­tional, high-den­sity and super-high-den­sity – act as car­bon sinks.

A slowdown in global growth and concerns of an impending global recession has eased most commodity prices from their peaks. However, the shrinking value of many currencies against the U.S. dollar since the beginning of 2022 has pushed food and energy prices in domestic-currency terms even higher.
