<p>1) Markets for Agricultural Commodities<br />What are the major markets and how are markets functioning<br />Recent trends in world production and consumption.<br />World trade is growing fast. Logistics. Bottlenecks.<br />The major countries with surplus production<br />Growing net import requirements, primarily of China, India and many other countries.<br />Tariff and non-tariff market barriers. Government interferences.</p><p><br />2) Closer Analysis of Individual Markets<br />Thomas Mielke will analyze in more detail the global vegetable oil markets, primarily palm oil, soya oil,<br />rapeseed oil, sunflower oil. Also the raw material (the oilseed) as well as the by-product (oilmeal) will<br />be included. The major producers and consumers.<br />Vegetable oils and oilmeals are extracted from the oilseed. The importance of vegetable oils and<br />animal fats will be highlighted, primarily in the food industry in Europe and worldwide. But in the past<br />15 years there have also been rapidly rising global requirements of oils & fats for non-food purposes,<br />primarily as a feedstock for biodiesel but also in the chemical industry.<br />Importance of oilmeals as an animal feed for the production of livestock and aquaculture<br />Oilseed area, yields per hectare as well as production of oilseeds. Analysis of the major oilseeds<br />worldwide. The focus will be on soybeans, rapeseed, sunflowerseed, groundnuts and cottonseed.<br />Regional differences in productivity. The winners and losers in global agricultural production.</p><p><br />3) Forecasts: Future Global Demand & Production of Vegetable Oils<br />Big challenges in the years ahead: Lack of arable land for the production of oilseeds, grains and other<br />crops. Competition with livestock. Lack of water. What are possible solutions? Need for better<br />education & management, more mechanization, better seed varieties and better inputs to raise yields.<br />The importance of prices and changes in relative prices to solve market imbalances (shortage<br />situations as well as surplus situations). How does it work? Time lags.<br />Rapidly rising population, primarily the number of people considered “middle class” in the years ahead.<br />Higher disposable income will trigger changing diets in favour of vegetable oils and livestock products.<br />Urbanization. Today, food consumption per caput is partly still very low in many developing countries,<br />primarily in Africa, some regions of Asia and in Central America. What changes are to be expected?<br />The myth and the realities of palm oil in the world of today and tomorrow.<br />Labour issues curb production growth: Some examples: 1) Shortage of labour in oil palm plantations in<br />Malaysia. 2) Structural reforms overdue for the agriculture in India, China and other countries to<br />become more productive and successful, thus improving the standard of living of smallholders.</p> |
