USDA : Wasde, 1.10.03

USDA U.S. Department of Agriculture - January 10, 2003

WASDE-394 January 10, 2003                             

WHEAT:  Projected U.S. 2002/03 ending stocks of wheat are up 70
million bushels from last month due to reduced domestic use and trade. 
Projected exports are 25 million bushels below last month because of
increased competition.  Imports are reduced 5 million bushels because
of a dramatically slower pace in recent months and very tight spring
wheat supplies in Canada.  Feed and residual use is reduced 50 million
bushels because December 1 stocks indicate smaller-than-expected use
during the first 6 months of the marketing year.  The projected 2002/03
wheat price range is reduced 15 cents on each end to $3.50 to $3.80
per bushel.

Global 2002/03 production, consumption, and ending stocks projections
are little changed in aggregate from last month, but there are numerous
country-specific changes.  Global imports are up from last month, largely
due to a 1.5-million-ton increase in prospective EU imports to a
world-leading 9.5 million tons.  Projected exports for Russia are 2 million
tons higher because of a stronger-than-expected pace to date. 
Projected Australian supplies and exports are up from last month as
larger beginning stocks more than offset a smaller prospective crop. 
These higher export prospects are largely offset by reductions for
several countries.  Reduced exports for Argentina reflect smaller
production prospects, while smaller prospective shipments by India, the
EU, and the United States are linked to smaller-than-expected sales to
date.  The United States and EU account for most of the rise from last
month in projected 2002/03 global ending stocks.

COARSE GRAINS:  Projected U.S. 2002/03 ending stocks of corn are
up 81 million bushels from last month due to higher production and
lower use.  Estimated corn production is up 4 million bushels as higher
yields more than offset lower harvested area.  Projected exports are
down 50 million bushels from last month because of increased
competition.  Industrial use is up 45 million bushels, reflecting rapidly
expanding use of corn for ethanol production.  Feed and residual use is
down 75 million bushels because the December 1 stocks implied less
use in the September-November quarter than expected.  Sorghum
exports are reduced 45 million bushels, reflecting the lower U.S.
production and larger-than-expected domestic use in the September-
December quarter.  The projected price range for corn is down 5 cents
on each end to $2.15 to $2.55 per bushel.

Projected global 2002/03 production is little changed in aggregate from
last month.  South African corn production is down 1.5 million tons due
to reduced area and yields.  This is largely offset by increased
prospective production for Brazil's corn crop.  The smaller South African
corn crop results in increased imports, reduced exports, and smaller
ending stocks.  The opposite is true for Brazil, with the larger crop
resulting in lower imports, larger exports and domestic use, and bigger
ending stocks.  The lower U.S. export prospects for corn are largely due
to expanding export prospects for China.  China and the United States
account for most of the gain in 2002/03 global ending stocks from last
month.  China's domestic use of corn is reduced 2 million tons in both
2001/02 and 2002/03.

RICE:  The U.S. 2002/03 rice crop is estimated at 211 million cwt, down
slightly from last month and 2 percent below revised 2001/02.  Average
yield for 2002/03 is estimated at a record 6,578 pounds per acre, down
33 pounds per acre from last month, but 82 pounds per acre above the
revised 2001/02 estimate.  Planted area is slightly higher than last
month, but harvested area is unchanged.  Projected imports for 2002/03
are raised slightly, due to additional imports of Australian rice by Puerto
Rico.  No significant changes are made on the use side.  Ending stocks
are projected at 32 million cwt, slightly below last month and 18 percent
below 2001/02.  The season-average price range for 2002/03 is lowered
15 cents per cwt on each end to $3.65 to $3.95 per cwt based on
monthly prices reported to date by NASS and the expectation that global
prices will remain soft the remainder of the marketing year.

Global production, consumption, trade, and ending stocks for 2002/03
are nearly unchanged from a month ago. World rice production is
projected at 380.3 million tons, virtually unchanged from last month, but
17 million tons below 2001/02 and the smallest crop since 1995/96. 
Global ending stocks are projected at 105.1 million tons, slightly above
last month, but nearly 28 million tons below 2001/02, and the lowest
stocks since 1986/87.

OILSEEDS:  U.S. oilseed production for 2002/03 is projected at 83.5
million tons, up 0.9 million tons from last month.  Gains for soybeans
more than offset reductions for sunflowerseed, cottonseed, canola, and
peanuts.  Soybean production is estimated at 2.73 billion bushels, up 40
million bushels from last month based on increased harvested area and
higher yields.

U.S. soybean exports are projected at 930 million bushels, up 30 million
from last month, despite increased export availabilities in South
America.  Strong demand in China is boosting global imports.  U.S.
soybean crush is reduced 5 million bushels this month based on lower
domestic meal consumption and reduced prospects for soybean meal
exports.  Soybean oil production is up slightly despite the reduced crush
due to a higher oil extraction rate.  Soybean oil stocks are up slightly
reflecting the increased production.

The projected price range for soybeans is $5.10 to $5.80 per bushel
compared with $5.05 to $5.85 per bushel last month.  The projected
soybean oil price range is 20.5 to 23.0 cents per pound, up 0.5 cent on
the lower end compared with last month.  Soybean meal prices are
projected at $160 to $180 per short ton, unchanged from last month.

Global oilseed production for 2002/03 is projected at 324.0 million tons,
up 2.2 million tons from last month.  Foreign production is projected at
240.5 million tons, up 1.4 million tons.  Global soybean production is
projected at a record 190.9 million tons, up 2.1 million tons from last
month.  Soybean production in Argentina is raised 1 million tons to a
record 33.5 million tons based on increased area and slightly better yield
prospects, as producers planted a larger proportion of higher-yielding
first-crop soybeans.  Other changes this month include increased
sunflowerseed production for Russia due to higher yields, and increased
cottonseed production for Pakistan.

Global oilseed trade is increased this month, as increased U.S. soybean
exports more than offset a small reduction for Brazil.  Soybean imports
by China are projected at a record 14.5 million tons, up 0.5 million tons
from last month.  Global oilseed crush is higher as increased soybean
crush in Argentina and China more than offsets the lower U.S. crush.

SUGAR:  Projected U.S. beet sugar production for fiscal year 2002/03 is
decreased 100,000 tons, raw value, from last month, mainly due to a
smaller-than-expected 2002 sugarbeet crop.  Lower cane sugar
production in Louisiana is offset by an increase in Florida.  While
continued rains reduced harvest and milling yields in Louisiana,
favorable growing conditions improved production prospects in Florida. 
Imports under re-export programs are increased 40,000 tons, half of
which will be exported in sugar-containing products.  Season-ending
stocks are increased 108,000 tons to reflect both changes in reported
supply and use and raw sugar transfers to non-reporting entities ahead
of 2003 marketing allotments.  The ending stocks-to-use ratio is 13.5
percent, compared with 12.1 percent last month.

For 2001/02, miscellaneous use is increased, mainly due to downward
revisions in deliveries by the Commodity Credit Corporation.

LIVESTOCK, POULTRY, AND DAIRY:  Estimated total meat production
for 2002 is lowered this month.  Preliminary cattle and hog slaughter
data point to slightly smaller red meat production, and mature chicken
production is lowered.

The 2003 total meat production forecast is lowered from last month as
higher beef production is more than offset by lower pork and broiler
production.  The weather-related slow pace of cattle marketings during
the last months of 2002 implies increased marketings and slaughter in
the first half of 2003.  USDA's Cattle report, which will be released
January 31, will provide an indication of producer breeding intentions
and available supplies of feeder cattle.  Pork production is lowered
slightly from last month as the December 30 Quarterly Hogs and Pigs
report showed continued declines in hog inventories and lower intended
farrowings than expected.  Broiler production forecasts are lowered as
weekly eggs set and chicks placed data have been below a year earlier
since early fall.  Turkey production forecasts are unchanged.  Although
disease outbreaks have been reported in California's egg flock, egg
production forecasts are unchanged from last month. 

First-quarter 2003 Choice steer prices are raised slightly as cattle
markets are reflecting concerns over the impacts of winter weather.  Hog
prices are raised due to tighter hog supplies in 2003.  Poultry price
forecasts are unchanged as large supplies continue to pressure poultry
prices.

Milk production forecasts for 2002/03 are lowered slightly from last
month.  Although the rate of decline in cow numbers for the year is
reduced from last month, gains in milk per cow continue to lag historical
trends.  Relatively weak milk prices in 2003 are expected to provide little
incentive to increase output per cow.  Class III prices are expected to be
weaker at $9.85 to $10.35 per cwt, down slightly from last month, and
Class IV price are forecast at $10.05 to $10.75 per cwt.  The all milk
price will average $11.35 to $11.85 per cwt.

COTTON:  This month's U.S. cotton projections feature lower production
and ending stocks.  Production is reduced 1.3 percent from last month
due to lower estimates for the Southeast and Arizona.  Projections for
domestic mill use and exports are unchanged.  Ending stocks are
reduced to 6.3 million bales, down 200,000 bales from last month.  

World 2002/03 beginning and ending stock projections are reduced this
month, production is virtually unchanged, and consumption and trade
are revised only marginally.  Beginning stocks are reduced 750,000
bales in China, as revisions in the Chinese government's estimate of
yarn production for calendar 2001 have raised consumption for 2000/01
and 2001/02.  This season's world production is unchanged, as
increases in Pakistan and Kazakstan offset a decrease for the United
States.  Imports by China are forecast higher based on tighter supplies
and recent strong import demand, but the impact on world trade is offset
by small adjustments in several other countries.  World ending stocks of
37.9 million bales are 3.1 percent below last month's projection.

Note: Public Law 106-78, signed October 22, 1999, requires the Secretary of
Agriculture to estimate and report the U.S. upland cotton season-ending
stocks-to-use ratio, excluding projected raw cotton imports but including the
quantity of raw cotton imports that has been imported during the marketing
year.  Pursuant to this requirement, the estimated ratio for 2002/03 is 33.6
percent.
