Global Grain Market Outlook
- The USDA reported that U.S. farmers harvested 1.81 billion bushels of wheat from 37.3 million acres in the 2023/24 season.
- According to the USDA, Australia produced 400,000 tonnes of milled rice and 556,000 tonnes of rough rice in 2022/23.
- The Department of Agriculture's 2022-23 estimates show India's foodgrain production at 3296.87 Lakh tonnes, an increase of 140.71 Lakh tonnes.
Global Grain Market Growth
Rise in global population leading to high food demand, favourable trade policies and advancements in agricultural techniques to boost grain production are some of the major market drivers. Furthermore, the grain market trends and dynamics are driven by the implementation of techniques such as precision farming and genetically modified crops can prove effective in boosting grain yield.
The rising grain industry demand for biofuels is fuelling a substantial growth in soybean crush capacities. Numerous facilities are in the process of expanding or constructing new plants to keep up with the rising demand for biodiesel and this latest development represents the most significant expansion in the sector since the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Grain Industry Trends
The grain market key players are expanding their grain storage capacities to meet the growing demand. Rumo, the Brazilian rail operator, and DP World, a supply chain solutions provider, announced an agreement to establish a new port terminal for grains and fertilisers at the Port of Santos, Brazil, in March 2024. It offers the additional capacity for 9 million tonnes of grains and 3.5 million tonnes of fertilisers.
Grain Industry Outlook
In 2023, the growth of the grain market is indicated by the growing global grain production that surged to a new peak of 2,847 million metric tons, marking a 1.2% rise from the previous year's 2,794 MMT, as reported by the FAO. Per capita, grain consumption has remained stable at approximately 364 kilograms per individual boosting the grain market value.
The FAO forecasts that global grain utilization will continue to increase, with a projected 0.5% rise to reach a new high of 2,851 million metric tons in 2024-2025. This upward trend plays an essential role in the growth of the grain industry.
In 2023, the U.S. corn industry achieved unprecedented success, setting new production and yield records according to USDA, further boosting the grain market dynamics and trends. Production surged by 12% to 15.3 billion bushels, driven by a notable increase in average yield to 177.3 bushels per acre and a 10% expansion in acreage to 86.5 million acres, highlighting modern agricultural efficiency.
The increasing global population is a major driver behind the rising demand for grains worldwide. The grain market analysis indicates population projections foresee a substantial increase from 7.8 billion in 2020 to 9.7 billion by 2050, growing at an average annual rate of 1.1%. This equates to nearly 2 billion additional individuals to sustain, intensifying the strain on grain production. Global grain consumption could potentially reach 3.7 billion metric tons annually by 2050, assuming per capita consumption remains unchanged, to meet this projected grain demand.
The expansion of grain production across various regions strengthens the resilience of the supply chain.
- Innovations in biotechnology and precision agriculture boost yield and efficiency, thus, driving the global grain industry revenue.
- Grains are staple foods, ensuring consistent demand across various markets.
Grain production is highly vulnerable to adverse weather and climate change.
- Insufficient storage and transportation facilities can lead to significant post-harvest losses.
- Varied regulations and standards across countries complicate international trade.
The growing global population drives increasing growth of the grain market.
- Adoption of eco-friendly farming methods can enhance long-term productivity.
- The grain market opportunities are expanding in emerging economies that offers potential for market growth and diversification.
Price fluctuations due to geopolitical tensions and economic factors disrupt market stability.
- Swarms and plant diseases can severely impact yields and supply chains.
- Tariffs, quotas, and other trade restrictions hinder the free flow of grain products globally.
Market Competition in the Global Grain Market
Growth of the grain industry features fierce competition among major exporting regions such as North America, Europe, Australia, and the Black Sea region. Each region possesses specific competitive strengths and encounters distinct challenges that influence its standing in the global market. Historically, the U.S. has held a leading position in the global grain trade, particularly for maize and soybeans enhancing the grain industry revenue.
