We've been taking a look at figures in key food crops: #wheat, #soybeans, #rice, & #corn. Trade in foodstuffs continues to grow, especially in regions with strong population growth & poor agro-climatic conditions. For staple crops & more, #AgTrade is the engine of food systems!

#AgTrade and Europe: #corn edition ⬇️ Top 3 producers: 1. 🇺🇸 2. 🇨🇳 3. 🇧🇷 Top 3 importers: 1. 🇲🇽 2. 🇪🇺 3. 🇯🇵 Top 3 exporters: 1. 🇺🇸 2. 🇧🇷 3. 🇦🇷 For corn, the EU is a major importer - bringing in about 20,000,000 MT in 2024/2025. (stats: @USDA)

🆕🚨 COCERAL raises alarming concerns from importers of #soybeans and soybean meal regarding the @EU_Commission’s recent proposal on the EU #Deforestation Regulation, which is bound to cause major disruptions to the soy supply chain. #EUDR Read in full: tinyurl.com/54ykecys

#AgTrade and Europe: #rice ⬇️ Top 3 rice producers: 1. 🇮🇳 2. 🇨🇳 3. 🇧🇩 Top 3 importers: 1. 🇵🇭 2. 🇻🇳 3. 🇳🇬 Top 3 exporters: 1. 🇮🇳 2. 🇻🇳 3. 🇹🇭 Rice trade is dominated by countries like India and China. The EU comes in at # 4 for importers. (stats: @USDA)

#AgTrade & Europe: #Soybeans ⬇️ Top 3 producers: 1. 🇧🇷 2. 🇺🇸 3. 🇦🇷 Top 3 importers: 1. 🇨🇳 2. 🇪🇺 3. 🇦🇷 Top 3 exporters: 1. 🇧🇷 2. 🇺🇸 3. 🇦🇷 The EU is primarily an importer of soybeans. We do export small amounts, about 0.4m tonnes compared to Brazil's 102m tonnes. (stats: USDA)

It's #WorldFoodDay! We've been looking at the state of #AgTrade, with a focus on wheat, soybeans, rice, and corn. @FAO reports that in 2024 between 638-720m people faced hunger, highlighting the importance of international trade for foodstuffs. Food access is a right of all.

#AgTrade and Europe: #Wheat edition ⬇️ Top 3 wheat producers: 1. 🇨🇳 2. 🇪🇺 3. 🇮🇳 Top 3 importers: 1. 🇪🇬 2. 🇪🇺 3. 🇮🇩 Top 3 exporters: 1. 🇷🇺 2. 🇨🇦 3. 🇪🇺 The EU, being top three in each, really highlights the importance of wheat trade for our food system. (stats: @USDA)

🚢🚛 Did you know that 22% of all calories are projected to cross international borders over the next decade? (OECD/FAO) Trade systems, infrastructure, and the capabilities of traders must keep up, and need to be supported by multilateral cooperation and rules-based #AgTrade.

Since #grain markets are global, it is necessary to observe harvest news everywhere in the world. For example, the @FAO forecast for this year’s global harvest is the highest ever, in part due to a record US corn crop (projected at 46m tons more than last year - @IGCgrains).

COCERAL releases its 4th oilseeds #CropForecast for 2025 🌻 The EU-27+UK #rapeseed crop is estimated at 21.6m t, well above the 20.0m t forecast in June and the 17.9m t last year. Find out more (on rapeseed, sunflower, and soybeans) here ⬇️ bit.ly/4emJlAw

COCERAL releases its 4th #CropForecast for 2025 🆕 The total #GrainCrop in the EU27+UK is seen at 306.8m t. This would be up from the 279.1m t harvested in 2024 and significantly higher than the 300.7m t projected in June. Find out why here: bit.ly/4emJlAw

🌦️ Rain is good for crops, right? Well, mostly. Unfortunately, inopportune rain and wet crops can lead to losses at threshing, or fungal infections. Farmers & traders can mitigate with proper drying, handling, and storage, but with extra costs. It's a difficult balance!

It's feeling like #harvest season! 🍂 Of course, the #GrainHarvest in Europe is like a wave: ➡ Different crop varieties ready throughout the growing season ⬆️ A geographical wave of harvests from south to north Sowing times, weather, etc. impact dates as well. Happy fall!

We've been taking a close look at the recent EU-US #TradeDeal and potential tariff spikes. From the perspective of grain traders, the takeaway is 'flawed, but positive', as it avoided import tariffs (and thus, major price increases) on key crops like #corn and #soybeans. 1/2 ⬇️
