BMI View: With La Niña no longer a concern, we expect a big rebound in US grain production for the
2013/14 season, led by a significant increase in corn production as prices have remained high and soil
conditions have improved. Unlike grains, we believe cotton production in 2013/14 will decline largely due
to a reduced planted area. We have revised down our long-term forecasts for both corn and soybean by
12% and 9% respectively, as the area dedicated to these grains is already at record highs, and beyond the
current recovery we see little potential for sustained increases in yields over the long term. Within the
livestock sector, we believe production growth will be slow in the short term as the industry recovers from
high grain prices and poor soil conditions. Over the longer term, we favour the poultry sector due to price
competitiveness and changing dietary trends away from red meat.
Key Trends
• Soybean production growth to 2016/17: 14.2% to 94.8mn tonnes. This is mainly owing to the increase
in poultry production over the long term. However, we have revised our long-term figures down as we do
not see continued increases in the area dedicated to soybean given our view of lower average prices in the
medium term.
• Corn consumption growth to 2017: 10.1% to 307.1mn tonnes. This will be driven by increases in
ethanol production and an increase in feed use in the later years of our forecast period as the livestock
sector picks up.
• Poultry production growth to 2016/17: 20.1% to 23.1mn tonnes. The US is the world's second largest
poultry exporter behind Brazil. As such, increased global demand for poultry, particularly from emerging
markets, is likely to serve as a powerful production incentive.
• 2013 real GDP growth: 2.1% year-on-year, down from 2.2% in 2012; predicted to average 2.4% from
2012 until 2017.
• Consumer price inflation: 2.1% ave in 2013, same as 2012.
