week ending 22 April 2005
Wheat Sales:
Japan purchased approximately 85,000 metric tons of U.S.
Wheat 18,000 metric tons of Canadian Wheat and 20,000 metric tons of Australian Wheat. Shipment is slated for June.
Breakdown of the purchase is as follows:
United States
11.7 pct protein Hard Red Winter 28,000
13.0 pct protein Hard Red Winter 6,000
14.0 pct protein Dark Northern Spring 51,000
Canada
13.5 pct protein Western Red Spring 18,000
Australia
Standard White 20,000
TOTAL: 123,000
Feed Grains:
102,616 metric tons of US Corn for export distribution to Japan shipment is slated by August
Taiwan purchased approximately 20,000 metric tons of US Yellow Corn shipment is slated for May
Oilseeds:
Taiwan purchased approximately 15,000 metric tons of US Soybeans shipment is slated for May
Quite week really – IWTO meeting in tassie – with some big talk about marketing wool, surly needed, even AWI has hired some consultants from NZ to see how come they are doing better, my comment here – they have an advantage over in New Zealand – they don't have AWI.
More to come via some contacts attending the meeting – over the coming weeks
China:
Last month the Chinese government raised diesel prices by 7% the net effect of this to the 700 million Chinese farmers - diesel now costs $0.55 cents a litre -
HO! - HOW I WISH WE HAD THAT PROBLEM
NOTE : China tariffs on imported wheat is currently at 20% - and wool is at 15% if a trade agreement was reached and the Chinese reduce these, then we may see more markets open up, but I doubt that they will as they will want to protect there farmers from cheaper imports.
Livestock:
Brazil is gaining ground in China with live exports of cattle , and they are purchasing some good quality genetics (from Australia and other countries), I suspect that within 5 years they will give us a run for our money in the live export trade if transportation costs can be kept to a minimum.
