REGIONAL REVIEW

CHINA PUSHES GRAIN

PRODUCTION HIGHER
C

hina is pushing up grains production, but it remains
a big importer. Its soybean imports dominate world
trade. Its feed importers' demand for barley is getting
the attention of exporters.
The International Grains Council (IGC) now projects
China's total grains output in 2015-16 at 354.8 million tonnes,
XS IURP  PLOOLRQ LQ  7KH  ¿JXUH LQcludes 127 million tonnes of wheat, up from 126.2 million
the year before, 220 million tonnes of maize, up from 215.7
million, 1.9 million tonnes of barley, up from 1.6 million and
an unchanged 2.6 million tonnes of sorghum.
The IGC projects China's rice production at 208 million
tonnes in 2015-16, up from 206.4 million in the previous year.
The Council put total wheat imports at 1.8 million tonnes in
2014-15, down from 6.7 million tonnes in 2013-14. On the basis of purchases, which total 1.5 million tonnes, the big losers
are Australia, with sales to China down to 600,000 tonnes from
the 1.5 million it sent to China the year before, and the U.S.
with sales to China falling to 200,000 tonnes from 4 million.
Barley imports are set to rise in 2014-15 to 7.4 million
tonnes, up from 4.3 million the year before. Australia remains
the big supplier with purchases by China of Australian barley
at 4.1 million tonnes, up from 3.7 million. But the big gain is
for the E.U., with sales to China up at 2.2 million tonnes from
the 100,000 tonnes of imports listed for 2013-14.

covering 110,000 producers found wheat seeding acreage was
0.7% higher than MY 2014-15," the report said. "The acreage
growth came in part at the expense of cotton, as subsidy reIRUPVKDYHPDGHFRWWRQOHVVSUR¿WDEOHLQFRPSDULVRQWRZKHDW
and corn."
Record production is expected to depress imports, which are
also affected by tight government restrictions on import quotas.
The attaché put 2015-16 stocks of wheat at 85.5 million
tonnes. "While the Chinese government continues to treat
stock levels as a state secret, wheat stocks are believed to
have grown rapidly following record production in recent
years," it said.
MAIZE
The attaché now puts maize production in 2015-16 at 230
million tonnes.
"Corn acreage is raised to 37.85 million hectares as large
numbers of cotton and soy farmers have switched to planting
corn," the report explained. "Corn has a government guaranAugust 2015 / World Grain / www.World-Grain.com
