Lewes, DE -- (SBWire) -- 10/01/2015 --The Argentine grain sector will continue to play centre stage over the medium term amid a deteriorating economic environment. With foreign reserves under pressure, grain exports (particularly soybean) will remain vital, but there remains evidence of hoarding, which could lead to clashes with the government over policy. Nonetheless, soybean will remain the pre-eminent crop in Argentina over the long term and we expect poultry production to show the most promise within the livestock complex. We see potential for a mild rebound in beef production, as sector fundamentals remain challenging despite a significant decrease in grain prices. The country's dairy sector shows relative promise, due to high local retail prices and investment into the sector.

Key Forecasts
Corn production growth 2013/14 to 2018/19: 5.1% to 27.3mn tonnes (revised down from a forecast of 7.1% growth to 26.8mn tonnes in our last quarterly update). Production growth will remain good despite a wide switch to soybean, as exports will be attractive due to the large sell-off in the peso.

The Australian agriculture sector is still recovering from a decade of subdued production growth due to extreme weather and a lack of investment. The industry is expected to remain buoyant in 2015, largely supported by export demand from Asia and elevated grains and oilseeds prices. In the longer term, we see major export growth opportunities in the sugar and livestock sectors. Australia will face stiff competition from Asian countries such as Thailand for sugar and from the US and Brazil for meat, but it will remain a key player in those industries. Apart from growing competition, Australia will have to face high production costs and a vulnerability to extreme weather.

Key Forecasts
Beef production growth to 2018/19: -8.8% to 2.4mn tonnes. The negative growth over our forecast period is mainly due to high base effects (production reached a record in 2013/14) and because output will decrease over 2014/15-2016/17, as farmers rebuilt their herds.

We believe that grains production growth over the next five years will slow relative to the preceding five. Nevertheless, we forecast strong grains production growth through to the end of our forecast period. Soybean production will outpace that of corn, as lower production costs for soybean relative to corn will make the commodity more attractive to grow. We also see strong growth in the livestock and dairy sectors, as these will continue to benefit from Russia's ban on imports of US products, which has been extended to August 2016. We hold a more positive view on the sugar industry now than we have held in the past, due to reforms in the ethanol sector and the significant depreciation in the real over the past several months. Real weakness will be a net positive for the country's agricultural sector.

Key Forecasts
Soybean production growth 2013/14 to 2018/19: 10.7% to 96.0mn tonnes. Most of the growth will occur in 2014/15, as lower acreage growth and fertiliser usage constrain future production.

The ageing Japanese agriculture sector is seeing some green shoots in the form of technological innovations. The use of robots in primary industries of agriculture and fisheries and utilisation of data in dairy farming is proof that the agriculture industry is making changes in the way it operates - a long awaited development for the traditionally old-fashioned and less progressive industry. The Japanese government has launched a series of initiatives to support advancements in the industry, including investing in USD10mn in robots aimed at reducing farming workloads and investments into cloud-based agriculture technologies such as wearable devices and peripherals for monitoring livestock.

On the political front, the government's plan to diminish the influence of the once-powerful Central Union Agricultural Cooperative (JA-Zenchu) is a strong indication to us that much-needed structural reform of the agriculture industry is underway. By 2019, the JA Zenchu is expected to become a general incorporated association with co-ops having the option of engaging independent auditors instead of working with those associated to the JA Zenchu. By reducing the power of the Union, the government is sending out a clear sign that it is serious about the reforms, as further reflected in the increased openness towards a compromise for the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
