Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 06/10/2014 --BMI View: There is uncertainty over the government's efforts to reduce dependency on food imports although we expect that the government will persevere in enforcing the substitution of cassava for increasing proportions of wheat in flour. Wheat production is in danger of disappearing altogether as the Boko Haram insurgency drags on. Tariffs on rice are being reduced creating uncertainty for domestic producers, but this was probably inevitable in the face of runaway smuggling. We still expect to see support for production from government and private sector investors. Corn production will bounce back over the coming year and should see sustained growth driven by buoyant demand for both human and livestock consumption. We see poultry and pork output gaining momentum, although milk remains the segment we are most optimistic about. Finally, cocoa farmers will continue to enjoy high prices for their produce despite better than expected results for other West African producers and we believe they are well-placed to increase their share of global output.

Key Forecasts

- Cocoa production growth to 2017/18: 59.6% to 358,600 tonnes. Higher global prices, a result of the struggles of other West African producers, will provide stimulus to production, as will burgeoning investment.
- Corn consumption growth to 2018: 19.9% to 9.3mn tonnes. A fast-growing population with steadily rising incomes will ensure strong demand for the staple grain..
