Michele from the CLAL Team illustrates the Corn market trend in the following video.
World Corn Production for the season September 2020 – August 2021 is projected at 1,144.6 Mio Tons, according to USDA. The forecast, updated in November, is slightly lower than the previous estimate, but it still shows a year-over-year rise by +2.5%.
The increase in production is driven by the United States (+6.5%) and Brazil (+7.8%). Production in the European Union, Argentina and Ukraine is expected to decrease due to drought conditions.
The forecast of Corn Export for the 2020-21 season is positive, with an expected variation of +8.0% compared to the 2019-20 agricultural year. Also this increase is driven by the United States (+49.0%) and Brazil (+14.7%).
The European Union, in the period January – September 2020, exported 3.142.400 mio tons of corn, +15.4% compared to the first 9 months of 2019. However, for the 2020-2021 season, a significant reduction is expected. Exports from Argentina and Russia are also estimated to decrease.
Corn prices continue to rise in the USA. The average November price in West Iowa is $156.8 per Ton, +5.1% compared to the previous month. Also in Argentina the price rose significantly, starting from June, and the average monthly price of the Mercado Rosario is $190 per ton.
This trend is also reflected in the prices in The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Italy. The current prices in Bologna for Italian corn range between 194€/Ton and 200€/Ton.
