The trade sees world #corn & #wheat ending stocks mostly unchanged from last month but #soybeans down a little. The most important thing to watch for in this month's report is any possible impacts on global grain trade from the #Ukraine/#Russia conflict.

@kannbwx

South American production numbers are also something to watch on Friday.

 #Brazil's #soybeans are seen down nearly another 2 mmt, Argy down less than 1 mmt.

 A cut to #Argentina #corn is expected to offset an increase in Brazil.

@kannbwx

Conab raised #Brazil's #corn crop by more than 3 mmt and raised exports 2 mmt. Output of #soybeans was down 0.34 mmt from last month's outlook and exports fell more than 3 mmt.

I just noticed this. USDA will be livestreaming the WASDE/Crop Production briefings for the first time ever immediately following Friday's report. This is the link for more info: https://nass.usda.gov/Newsroom/2022/03-16-2022.php

USDA reduces #Brazils's #soybeans to 125 mmt, basically what was expected.

 Note that Brazil's 20/21 crop went up 1.5 mmt.

 Brazil's 21/22 #corn up 2 mmt. No changes for #Argentina, but the 20/21 corn crop added 0.5 mmt.

@kannbwx

U.S. #corn stocks unchanged from March, #soybeans down on increased exports, #wheat up on reduced exports.

@kannbwx

On #soybeans, #China's imports declined 3 mmt to 91 mmt, well below 20/21's 99.76. China's crush declined by the same amount.

 #Brazil soy exports down 2.75 mmt to 82.75, and that is vs 81.65 last year. 

Brazil meal exports up 750kt to 17.25 mmt, Argy unch at 28 mmt.

@kannbwx

World #wheat stocks land below expectations, #corn above, #soybeans just a hair below. 

#Russia + #Ukraine wheat exports net unch from March, domestic usage way up in #India.

 #China corn imports down 3 mmt to 23 mmt.
