International Wheat Factors
Record 2013/14 world wheat crop – increase of 8.7% from last season, +57 million
tons.
Approximately 19.3% of all wheat globally goes into the feed market and resultantly the
Chicago corn / wheat spread has narrowed from US$2.30 / buschel to the current
US$1.49 / buschel.
India playing a larger role in export market – Indian production to reach 92.5 MMT, up
10% from 5-year average and second largest on record.
Black Sea exports to reach 35.3 MMT and represent 22% of world market, compared to
19% in 2012/13

Local Wheat Drivers
Limited small crop – 1,751 million tons (need to import 49% of requirement) = import
parity driven
With record world crop produced, fairly good export competition keeping a lid on prices
(quality milling wheat less abundant).

Single largest driver of local prices is the weakening currency (Rand).
