Soybean
World Production to rise
Global soybean production is forecast higher this month by
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) at 336.1
million tonnes (mt) in November Vs. 333.2 mt in October.
USDA raised world production for the new crop by 2.51 mt
due to forecast of increase in US production due to higher
yield estimates and unchanged production estimates for
Brazil, Argentina, China and India. USDA forecast the yields
averaged a record-high of 52.5 bushels per acre for
2016/17 season.
The top five soybean producing countries are the US,
Brazil, Argentina, China and India, which is going to
produce higher compared to last year production. The US
will produce 11% higher in 2016/17 at 118 mt compared to
last year.
The production in Brazil is estimated at 102 mt for 2016/17
season, higher by 5.7% compared to last year production

of 96.5 mt. The production in Argentina forecasted slightly
higher at 57 mt while production in China and India is
forecasted to increase by 6% and 36% respectively.
World ending stocks at record levels
World ending stocks for soybean increase by 5.39% or
4.17 mt to 81.53 mt in November for 2016/17 season
versus 77.4 mt estimated in October. This upward
revision is due to increase in stocks in US and China. It is
the sixth consecutive yearly increase in world ending
stocks starting 2011/12. According to the latest USDA
report, Argentina and Brazil will be holding close to 70% of
soybean at the end of 2016/17 season. A bigger soybean
carryover stocks is seen for Argentina because of lower
exports in 2015/16 (down 670,000 tonnes to 9.25 mt) and
increase in production (up 200,000 tonnes to 57 mt).
US soybean ending stocks increase the most by 21.75% or
2.34 mt to 13 mt, from the October estimates in
November report, while the yearly stocks increase by
143.8% or 7.7 mt compared to 2015/16 stocks. US will
hold about 16% stocks in 2016/17.
World trade to Increase
World exports of soybeans, is expected to grow 5.31 % in
2016/17 to 139.2 mt, is due to higher U.S., China and
Brazil supplies and increase in imports from China, Mexico
and Indonesia.
China, European Union and Mexico are the top three
soybean importing countries in the world. China will
import about 86 mt of soybean in 2016/17, an increase of
3.3% or 2.8 mt than the previous year imports. Moreover,

Mexico, Taiwan, Indonesia and Iran also increase their
soybean imports this year due to good crushing demand.
In the contrary, EU, the second largest soybean importer
and highest soybean meal importer, is forecasted to
import 11 % less soybean in 2016/17 to 13 mt from 14.6

Domestic production
The estimate of production of soybean in India is kept
unchanged by USDA in its November report at 97 lakh
tonnes (lt). However, the production during 2016/17 is
forecasted higher by 36% or 25.8 lt compared to last year
production.
USDA also kept its figures of crush for 2016/17 season
unchanged at 76 lt in its November report which it is
higher by 27.7% or 16.5 lt compared to last year crushing
figures. The increase in crushing is due to higher
production estimates due to higher yield achieved for the
soybean crop in the country.

Domestic production to rise
The USDA has marginally raised its forecast for India's
cotton output for 2016-17 to 345.8 lakh bales (1 bale = 170
kg) or 5.88 mt from 339.41 lb (5.78 mt) projected in
October.
An increase of 6.41 lakh bales (108,800 mt) in November
report is due to anticipated higher yields in the cotton
growing states of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan in
Northern India. While late season rains falls in western
states of Gujarat and Maharashtra have helped in increase
in cotton yield in these two top producing states.
Moreover, trade sources indicate that farmers have seen a
recovery from last year’s pest infestation due to vigilant
crop monitoring, overall better plant protection measures,
and improved soil moisture and weather conditions.
It also raised the forecast for cotton exports from the
country to 53.76 lakh bales from 49.9 lakh bales projected
earlier which is in line with the output estimate.
