"Rabobank sees upside trend for grain commodities prices"
World-Grain.com, 30/10/ 2009
"India, the 2nd largest rice grower, may become a net importer for the first time in 21 years in 2010, potentially sparking shortfalls that sent prices to a record high in 2008, said Samarendu Mohanty, a senior economist at the International Rice Research Institute.... India may import as much as 3 million metric tons next year following adverse weather"
Bloomberg, 29/10/2009
Erratic weather patterns, weak US dollar, climbing crude prices and improving economic conditions are factors determining the direction of grains pricing. Where are the various agri-commodities heading and will stability return to the agri-commodities sector?
With the opening of Australia's grains market, how will it change the way business is conducted and will it offer a more level playing field for all parties? Increasingly, Black Sea grains are coming into Asian and Middle East markets, how will it impact traditional suppliers and can the quality measure up?
