Summary
Tight Carryin Stocks, Record Oilseed Harvests
Led to Robust Demand in 1997/98
Following 2 years of delayed plantings, firm soils advanced
U.S. soybean planting in 1997 to the fastest start since 1994.
U.S. farmers planted 70.6 million acres of soybeans in 1997,
6.3 million more than in the preceding year. Very strong
soybean prices (versus corn, sorghum, wheat, and cotton),
the absence of acreage set aside programs, modifications of
farm rotations to include more soybeans, declining costs of
production, and optimum planting conditions led to the
surge in soybean area. U.S. soybean production in 1997 was
2,703 million bushels, surpassing the 1994 record by 186
million bushels. The final U.S. average soybean yield settled
to 38.8 bushels per acre, second only to 1994.
Tight world supplies and brisk foreign demand spurred 6
months of heavy U.S. exports until the record 1997/98 South
America soybean harvest appeared. U.S. soybean exports for
the season, however, totaled 870 million bushels, down from
882 million a year earlier. The resurgence of soybean oil
prices and the drop in the cost of soybeans enhanced crushing margins in the first half of the marketing year. Greater
investment in U.S. capacity and the advent of the large South
American harvest created very narrow margins in the second
half, but U.S. processors continued to successfully defend
their world market share. As a consequence, 1997/98 domestic crush rose to a record 1,597 million bushels. Despite the
264-million bushel increase in supplies, year ending soybean
stocks increased only 68 million bushels.
U.S. crushers produced a record 18.1 billion pounds of soybean oil in 1997/98 in response to a global shortfall in vegetable oil. Domestic disappearance of crude soybean oil
increased from 14.3 billion pounds in 1996/97 to 15.2 billion. Soybean oil prices rose steadily since the summer
1997, with the 1997/98 average price increasing to 25.8
cents per pound. The spike in demand cut 1997/98 U.S. soybean oil ending stocks to 1,387 million pounds, down from
1,520 million a year earlier. U.S. 1997/98 soybean oil
exports swelled to 3.25 billion pounds, surpassing the previous high of 2.7 billion set in 1979/80.
A strengthening world oil market in 1997/98 accelerated the
crush, generating ample volumes of soybean meal and cutting soybean meal prices. The central Illinois cash price for
high protein soybean meal averaged $186 per short ton, considerably less than the $271 a year earlier. Total 1997/98
meal exports were 9.4 million short tons, far surpassing the
1979/80 record. With a larger U.S. livestock inventory and
considerably lower soybean meal prices, domestic disappearance rose to 28.7 million short tons from 27.3 million
in 1996/97.
Global trade in major oilseeds reached an estimated peak of
53.4 million tons in 1997/98, surpassing the previous season's total by 3.9 million tons. Soybeans remained the undisputed leader with 40.0 million tons traded. World meal use in
1997/98 was estimated at 155.5 million tons. Global soybean

meal consumption was about 99.4 million tons, up 7 percent
from 1996/97. World protein meal trade also reached a high
of 51.4 million metric tons in 1997/98. Global vegetable oil
output rose to 76.8 million tons, the smallest increase since
1992/93. Drought throughout Southeast Asia held down production of tropical oils throughout 1998. However, growth in
world vegetable oil consumption outstripped the increase in
production, rising to 77.3 million tons. As a result, world
vegetable oil ending inventories dropped to only 8.5 percent
of use, the lowest since the early 1970s. Estimated global
vegetable oil trade in 1997/98 increased to 29.3 million tons,
up 430,000 from 1996/97.
Lower yields in 1997 caused cottonseed production to fall
2.9 percent to 6.935 million short tons. Cottonseed crush
and exports were up 15,000 short tons each from the previous year at 3.885 million and 146,000 short tons, respectively. Other use of cottonseed, primarily whole seed feeding,
was 2.929 million short tons, 8 percent below the 1996/97
season. Ending stocks as of July 31, 1998, modestly tightened to 490,000 tons. The lower value of cottonseed in
1997/98 in both oil-and-meal output from crushing and in
feeding was reflected in a lower average price received by
farmers. U.S. farmers received $121 per short ton in
1997/98, down from $126 a year earlier.
U.S. peanut producers planted 1.431 million acres of
peanuts in 1997, up 2.1 percent from a year earlier.
Production totaled 3,537.1 million pounds, in-shell basis,
down 3.4 percent from the previous year. Average yield per
harvested acre was 2,507 pounds, a 146-pound drop from
the 1996 yield. Food use of peanuts rose 3.4 percent to
2,099 million pounds, in-shell basis. On an in-shell basis,
peanuts crushed in 1997/98 totaled 544 million pounds, 21
percent below the previous year. Peanut exports remained
strong, however, rising to 681 million pounds from 666 million the previous year. The tighter supply notwithstanding,
the 1997/98 U.S. average farm price for peanuts fell to 26.1
cents per pound from 28.1 cents a year earlier. Despite
lower crushing, large beginning stocks of peanut oil were
adequate to support a modest increase in domestic use of
peanut oil to 216 million pounds.
U.S. farmers planted 2.92 million acres of sunflowers in
1997, up 14 percent from 1996. But delays in planting, a dry
summer, and severe midge infestations trimmed the average
yield to 1,320 pounds per acre from 1,435 pounds in
1996/97. Year to year production increased 177 million
pounds to 3,763 million, on the strength of 353,000 more
acres harvested. Sunflowerseed crush soared to 2,338 million pounds in 1997/98. The major reason for the surge is
that exports of sunflower oil increased nearly one-fourth
from 1996/97, to 805 million pounds. Season ending sunflowerseed stocks fell sharply to 202 million pounds following 2 years of large carryover. Despite ample supplies, the
1997/98 average farm price for sunflowerseed stayed firm at
$11.85 per hundredweight.

Soybean Situation, 1997/98
Bumper 1997 Soybean Harvest Replenished

Slender Supplies
Every State (except Ohio, which held steady to its 1996
record acreage) increased soybean acreage in 1997. A dozen
States had record soybean planting, many of them the top
producing States. Very strong soybean prices (versus corn,
sorghum, wheat, and cotton), the absence of acreage setaside programs, modifications of farm rotations to include
more soybeans, declining costs of production, and optimum
planting conditions led to the surge in soybean area. The
westward expansion of hog production into the Great Plains
also increased local demand and production of soybeans.
U.S. farmers planted 70.6 million acres of soybeans in 1997,
6.3 million more than in the preceding year. This was the
first time in history that U.S. planted acreage for soybeans
exceeded wheat area. A late grain and soybean harvest in
1996, along with much lower wheat prices, lowered winter
wheat area from a year earlier. Reduced winter wheat
acreage curtailed double-cropped soybean area, which tends
to have a lower average yield.
Following 2 years of delayed plantings, firm soils advanced
U.S. soybean planting in 1997 to the fastest start since 1994.
Most of the soybean crop went into the summer in very
good shape with adequate soil moisture reserves. A period
of hot weather in July drew down soil moisture levels
throuahout
the Midwest, but rains during August secured
to
good yield potential. Below average August temperatures
also helped moderate moisture needs and warmer temperatures by the end of August helped advance maturity. Pod
development was slightly ahead of average, and well ahead
of the late 1996 pace, when there was significant frost risk.
In the western Corn Belt, September pod counts were the
highest ever recorded. The swift harvest pace was advanced
by quicker soybean maturity and nearly ideal dry weather,
although an absence of frost in some areas delayed the drydown to desired moisture levels. In late October, heavy
snow in the western Corn Belt interrupted farmers' harvesting activities, although most of the affected areas had nearly
finished with soybeans.
U.S. soybean production in 1997 was 2,703 million bushels,
surpassing the 1994/95 record by 186 million bushels. The
final U.S. average soybean yield settled to 38.8 bushels per
acre, ranking behind only 1994 as the highest yield ever.
Persistent summer dryness cut yields in several southeastern
States. However, some southern farmers were able to harvest early and take advantage of prices for September delivery that were at least $1.00 per bushel higher than prices for
October delivery. This situation was reflected by the very
tight September 1 soybean stocks of 131 million bushels.
Until the record 1997/98 South America soybean harvest

appeared, tight world supplies and brisk foreign demand led
to 6 months of heavy export trade from the United States.
Like the U.S. industry, many importers had drawn down
soybean inventories the previous summer, waiting until the
less costly new U.S. crop was available before replenishing
stocks. Sales to the EU, China, and even Brazil and
Argentina were particularly strong in response to excellent
crushing margins.
By late spring, U.S. soybean exports became quite sluggish
as South American supplies emerged and U.S. exports of
soybean meal and oil took precedence. Some glitches in the
transportation system also hindered U.S. exports in 1997/98.
The United States has long dominated Mexican soybean
trade, but continuing railcar backups at the border motivated
Mexican importers to substitute some Brazilian soybeans.
And, a low water level in the Panama Canal restricted the
maximum draft for ocean vessels. The associated limits on
cargo weights raised per unit freight costs to Asia via the
canal, and compelled some shippers to take longer alternate
routes. The restrictions offset the decline in ocean freight
rates to Asia. U.S. exports for the season totaled 870 million
bushels, down 12 million from a year earlier.
Early in the season, domestic soybean crushing exceeded
all previous rates, and mills operated near capacity well
into the spring. The resurgence of soybean oil prices and
the drop in the cost of soybeans enhanced crushing margins in the first half of the marketing year. Greater investment in U.S. capacity and the large South American harvest created very narrow margins in the second half, but
U.S. processors continued to defend their world market
share. As a consequence, the 1997/98 domestic crush rose
to a record 1,597 million bushels. Despite the 264-millionbushel increase in supplies, year ending soybean stocks
increased only 68 million bushels.
Beginning stocks of soybean oil sharply declined to 1.5 billion pounds due to expansion of the previous season's
domestic offtake and exports. Responding to a global shortfall in vegetable oils, U.S. processors generated a record
18.1 billion pounds of soybean oil. Aside from the outstanding crush pace, warm summer temperatures also
boosted the oil extraction rate to 11.3 pounds per bushel,
the highest since 1991/92. Domestic soybean oil disappearance increased from 14.3 billion pounds the previous season to 15.2 billion in 1997/98. Soybean oil prices rose
steadily since summer 1997, with the 1997/98 average
price increasing to 25.8 cents per pound. Despite the surge
in output, the spike in demand cut 1997/98 U.S. soybean
oil ending stocks to 1,387 million pounds, down from
1,520 million a year earlier.
Despite declining global stocks and rising prices for vegetable oils, China expanded its oil imports in 1997/98. Even
with an increase in the soybean oil tariff, China's smaller
oilseed production in 1997 extended the oil deficit. China
accounted for more than one-fourth of the world's soybean
oil imports. U.S. 1997/98 soybean oil exports swelled to
3.25 billion pounds, surpassing the previous high of 2.7 billion set in 1979/80.
A strengthening world oil market in 1997/98 accelerated the
crush, generating ample volumes of soybean meal. When
demand for vegetable oils is stronger than protein meal
demand, prices for soybean oil and soybean meal go in
opposite directions. Soybeans produce 4 times as much
meal than oil, so the more that are crushed to satisfy the
world oil market, proportionately greater supplies of soybean meal are created. Unlike oil, meal cannot be stored
very long, so meal prices must fall to clear the market of
excess supplies. The world's dependence on U.S. supplies
last fall kept meal prices relatively firm. Eventually, record
large 1997/98 U.S. and South American meal supplies,
weaker corn and wheat prices, and weaker Asian demand
pressured soybean meal prices. The central Illinois cash

price for high protein soybean meal averaged $186 per short
ton, considerably less than the $271 per ton in 1996/97.
U.S. exports of soybean meal, especially to the European
Union, were another very bright spot. Total 1997/98 meal
exports were 9.5 million short tons, far surpassing the
1979/80 record. But the U.S. predominance eroded once
South American crushers had new-crop production available. Asian meal imports were also rationed by a serious
economic recession.
With a larger U.S. livestock inventory and considerably
lower soybean meal prices, 1997/98 domestic disappearance
rose to 28.7 million short tons from 27.3 million in 1996/97.
A solid expansion in hog production and a moderate gain in
poultry production fueled the increase. But a mild winter
and expanded wheat feeding suppressed U.S. soybean meal
consumption. The expansion in hog numbers began slowing
down by the spring and summer, with more moderate
increases in the breeding herd and farrowings.
World Oilseed and Protein Meal Situation

After stagnating in 1996/97, world oilseed production
climbed 10 percent in 1997/98, to 286.6 million metric tons.
Soybeans accounted for 95 percent of the increase in
1997/98 global oilseeds production. World soybean production increased 18 percent to 156.1 million tons. After a
decline in 1996, a strong recovery in European and
Canadian production raised global rapeseed output 8 percent
in 1997/98, to 34.1 million tons. However, lower harvested
area and disappointing yields left 1997/98 global sunflowerseed production unchanged from the preceding year at
23.9 million tons.
Global trade for major oilseeds reached an estimated peak
of 53.4 million tons in 1997/98, surpassing the previous season's total by 3.9 million tons. Soybeans remained the
undisputed leader with 40.0 million tons traded. The major
beneficiary of the increased trade in oilseeds was Argentina,
whose October-September soybean exports more than
tripled to 2.8 million tons from the drought-reduced 1996/97
volume. China continued to be a large net importer of soybeans (3.0 million tons) as well as of soybean meal (4.0 million). Also benefitting from abundant exporter supplies,
worldwide rapeseed trade increased 12 percent in 1997/98
to 6.5 million tons. Global sunflowerseed trade was little
changed at 3.9 million tons.
Compared with 1996/97, soybean meal forfeited its typically predominant role in determining soybean value, as meal
production rebounded and came into closer balance with
world consumption. World oilmeal use in 1997/98 was estimated at 155.5 million tons. The 3-percent increase was
largely due to growth in soybean meal use, with a smaller
increase in rapeseed meal. Global soybean meal consumption was about 99.4 million tons, up 7 percent from
1996/97. Rising global use was attributed to sustained
growth in the demand for soybean meal in China, Mexico,
and the United States. World protein meal trade also reached
a high of 51.4 million metric tons in 1997/98. Major trade
gains were made by the United States with 8.5 million metric tons of soybean meal exports (up one-third from the previous year), and Argentina with 9.9 million tons (up 14 percent). However, India's soybean meal exports (2.5 million
tons) were held down by economic difficulties experienced
by its traditional Asian customers and quality problems.
The shortage of Brazilian supplies last fall set the stage for a
surge in 1998 soybean plantings to a record 13 million
hectares. Timely planting and generous rainshowers
throughout South America were quite favorable for soybean
development. Despite harvest delays, the ample moisture
enabled Brazilian soybean farmers to harvest a record 31.0
million metric tons in 1998. In 6 out of the last 7 years
(including 1998), Brazil has established a record soybean
yield. Generally good weather, adoption of better management practices, and increasing use of inputs are responsible.
A tremendous surge in Brazilian soybean exports greatly
depleted Brazilian supplies last fall. Brazilian crushers were
compelled to import U.S. supplies in 1997/98, as the United
States was one of the few sources available to sustain operations until the Brazilian 1998 harvest. However, Brazilian
legislation banning imports of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) created much uncertainty whether U.S.
imports would be allowed. A Brazilian government commission agreed in October to reverse a stance on imports of
genetically modified soybeans. The commission's decision
still prohibited planting GMO seed but allowed Brazil to
import 1.55 million tons of soybeans for crushing under the
drawback plan, which requires reexporting an equivalent
volume of the products. But this uncertainty and the government's halving of the time permitted for re-exporting products under the drawback program to 90 days curtailed soybean imports from the United States.
From October 1997 through September 1998, Brazil's soybean exports rose at a more moderate pace (to 9.1 million
tons) compared with 1996/97, when the export sales taxes
were removed. With greater competitor supplies and weaker
world demand, Brazilian soybean processers crushed 20
million tons, virtually the same volume as in 1996/97. A
slight decrease in soybean meal production trimmed exports
to 10.3 million tons but Brazil remained the world's single
largest exporter of soybean meal. Brazilian soybean oil
exports dipped slightly to 1.28 million tons.
Given the drought-ravaged 1997 soybean harvest of 11.2
million tons, the supply situation in Argentina began just as
tight as in Brazil. Argentina's soybean imports rose to an
unprecedented 0.65 million tons. Attractive prices motivated
Argentine producers to raise harvested soybean area to a
record 7.0 million hectares, largely at the expense of wheat
and corn area. Yields soared because of ample moisture and
a greater proportion of first-crop soybeans. Varietal
improvements, including wider adoption of herbicide resistant soybeans, also enhanced productivity within Argentina.
Expanded area and better yields culminated in a record soybean output of 18.7 million tons, even though frequent
showers hampered harvest progress. Greater supplies raised
the 1997/98 Argentine soybean crush to 13.0 million tons.
This permitted Argentina to export more soybean meal, with
1997/98 exports at 9.9 million tons, up 1.2 million from the
previous year.
In Paraguay, favorable prices and declining production costs
boosted relative returns for raising soybeans. Soybean plantings expanded to a record 1.3 million hectares. Despite
flooding along the Parana River, fields were relatively
unharmed, and production dipped to 2.7 million tons.

Paraguay has a negligible domestic market for meal and oil
and its larger neighbors have advantages in crushing. So,
unprocessed soybean exports (including to Brazilian and
Argentine crushers) bring the best returns for the country's
output. Paraguayan exports totaled 2.1 million tons, compared to crushings of 0.5 million tons.
India's 1997/98 soybean crop was a record 5.35 million
tons, up from 4.1 million the year before. This was due to a
larger area harvested and the best soybean yields ever seen
in India (yet still among the world's lowest). Worries about
the impact of El Nino dissipated with timely monsoon rains.
Most of the increased supply was crushed, but rain delays
for the Indian soybean harvest extended the virtual U.S.
monopoly last fall on the international market a little longer
than usual. Indian soybean meal prices were about $20 per
metric ton less than U.S. Gulf quotes, creating a significant
competitive advantage in several major Asian markets.
However, part of the discount was related to quality problems that discouraged sales to some markets. India's soybean meal exports in 1997/98 were estimated at 2.5 million
tons. The additional soybean oil produced lifted India's
domestic soybean oil consumption to 1.1 million tons.
A financial crisis forced Thailand to float its currency, the
baht, in July 1997. Thailand's action triggered a wave of
devaluations throughout Asia. Currencies in Thailand,
Indonesia, and the Philippines have fallen to historic lows
against the U.S. dollar. In return for economic and banking
reforms, several Southeast Asian countries accepted multibillion-dollar loan packages from the International Monetary
Fund. The baht fell about 80 percent against the U.S. dollar
in the last year. As a consequence, prices of agricultural
imports in dollar terms increased dramatically.
Thailand had already begun reducing tariffs, pulling in a
record volume of soybeans and soybean meal. The U.S.
market share in 1996/97 was 28 percent for soybeans and 16
percent for meal. To help Thailand compensate for the steep
rise in import prices, USDA increased Thailand's credit
under the Export Credit Guarantee Program (GSM-102)
from $100 million to $300 million. Changes in Thailand's
soybean and meal imports were moderated by a still vital
poultry export trade, which was supported by the devaluation and Hong Kong's wholesale poultry slaughter (to control transmission of the bird flu). Thai soybean imports
increased to 0.6 million tons in 1997/98, compared with
0.55 million a year earlier. Soybean meal imports were
down 19 percent to 0.8 million.
South Korea struggled with a serious short term debt problem late in 1997. Korea's GDP growth in 1998 may drop in
half from 1997's 6 percent. South Korea is the world's
eighth largest soybean importing country and the eighth
largest importer of U.S. soybeans. The United States
accounts for 90 percent of South Korea's soybean imports.
In 1997/98, U.S. soybean exports to Korea fell 24 percent

from a year earlier. USDA approved $100 million in GSM102 credit for South Korea to help purchase soybeans. Total
South Korean soybean imports in 1997/98 were 1.4 million
metric tons, down from 1.5 million a year earlier. South
Korea imports comparatively little soybean meal from the
United States, but market access gains under the Uruguay
Round agreement may encourage more soybean meal
. imports in the future.
Drought in soybean producing areas of Java reduced
Indonesian 1997 soybean output to 1.4 million tons. The fall
in domestic supplies increased Indonesian soybean imports
18 percent to 0.8 million tons despite volatile foreign currency swings. The rupiah was devalued more than threefourths since mid-1997, dramatically raising the cost of
imported goods. USDA increased Indonesia's total GSM102 allocation from $250 million to $400 million. Indonesia
had already dropped the import duty on soybeans to zero in
summer 1997.
Indonesia has no crushing facilities, so the supply reduction
only slightly curtailed the growth in food consumption of
soybeans. Indonesia imported 0.68 million tons of soybeans
in 1996/97 (nearly all from the United States) and imported
0.81 million in 1997/98. Indonesian 1997/98 soybean meal
imports took the brunt of the impact, falling in half from the
previous season to 550,000 tons as swelling feed costs
slashed poultry consumption. India is the major supplier of
soybean meal to Indonesia, with a typically much smaller
share from the United States.
Malaysian 1997/98 soybean imports were also down dramatically this year, to 0.45 million tons. U.S. soybean shipments to Malaysia declined 53 percent from a year earlier.
The Malaysian ringgit depreciated more than 40 percent
between summer 1997 and mid-1998. USDA extended a
new credit line of $100 million to help Malaysia purchase
U.S. agricultural commodities.
While Taiwan's consumption of pork recovered from last
year's outbreak of foot and mouth disease in hogs, the loss
of its pork exports to Japan suppressed Taiwanese soybean
consumption. On the other hand, the wholesale destruction
of the poultry flocks in Hong Kong due to avian influenza
represented an opportunity for Taiwan to expand chicken
production and exports. Taiwan's soybean imports declined
to 2.4 million tons from the 1996/97 level of 2.6 million.
Even Japan's relatively stable economy slipped into recession as the yen fell to the lowest level versus the dollar in 8
years. Flat consumption by Japanese livestock, greater rapeseed availability, and rising meat imports slightly cut
Japanese soybean imports and soybean meal consumption.
Despite expanded area, dry weather limited China's 1997
soybean harvest to just 14.7 million tons. The disappointing
oilseeds output and unabated consumption accelerated

Chinese imports of soybeans last fall. China has not suffered
financial problems to the same extent as its neighbors, but
Chinese economic growth slowed as export competition
from the other Asian countries intensified. China's soybean
meal demand for 1997/98 reached 12.4 million tons, 17 percent above 1996/97. This surge increased 1997/98 soybean
meal imports to a record 4.0 million tons, 11 percent higher
than the previous year.
Bigger harvests of high-oil yielding, European-produced
oilseeds and cheaper foreign soybean meal prices undercut
EU crushing margins for soybeans. This curbed imports of
soybeans by the EU (still the world's largest import market)
relative to soybean meal. While EU soybean imports
increased modestly to 15.6 million tons, EU soybean meal
imports increased to 16.2 million tons from 14.7 million in
1996/97.
Record yields on near-record area raised 1997 EU rapeseed
production to a record 8.6 million tons. Given low beginning inventories, EU crush demand began very briskly in
1997/98. The Polish and Czech rapeseed harvests did not
fare as well, as winterkill and floods damaged 1997 yields.
Although better than the poor 1996 crop, the 1997 harvest
led to a continuing supply shortage relative to domestic
crush capacity, requiring Poland to import 260,000 tons of
seed from neighboring countries. Canadian farmers harvested 4.9 million hectares of rapeseed in 1997, rebounding
from 3.5 million harvested a year earlier. The 6.4-millionton crop was Canada's third largest, and allowed for a surge
in crushing given the profitable world vegetable oil market.
Japan, the principal foreign market, increased rapeseed
imports a modest 3 percent to 2.05 million tons.
Persistently wet and cold weather hampered the 1997 sunflowerseed harvest in Russia and the Ukraine. Lower yields
dropped projected output by all the New Independent States
below the previous year's disappointing level to 5.2 million.
Similar shortfalls occurred in Romania and Hungary. Larger
domestic supplies curtailed EU sunflowerseed imports and
margins favored greater processing of soybeans and rapeseed. This contributed to the increase of oilseed exports
from the United States to the EU, which were 16 percent
higher than the preceding year.
Excessive rain damaged Argentina's production and quality of sunflowerseed in 1998, forcing farmers to abandon
0.2 million hectares. The optimistic early season forecast
for record sunflowerseed output gave way to a less exceptional 5.4 million tons. Consequently, Argentine sunflowerseed oil and meal exports suffered, especially to
European Union countries.
Global cottonseed production increased only 1 percent in
1997/98, to 34.7 million tons. Despite better yields in China
and Uzbekistan, lower area and yields in India, Pakistan,
and the United States moderated supply growth. Late plantings and weather problems also plagued the Argentine cotton
crop, which scaled back cottonseed production and domestic
crush there.
World 1997/98 peanut production slipped to 27.1 million
tons, down from the 1996/97 output of 28.4 million.
Reductions in China, India, and the United States were
mostly responsible. Modest production gains throughout
Africa and Argentina partially offset losses in these countries. With global consumption of peanuts for food use rising, consumption for crushing declined 9 percent to 13.8
million tons. Although it is a relatively minor component of
demand, international trade in peanuts and peanut products
increased slightly.
In China, drought in the major northern producing provinces
of Shandong, Henan, and Hebei damaged peanut yields and
quality. Chinese peanut production dropped to 9.65 million
tons (in-shell basis). Chinese consumption of peanuts for
food is relatively inelastic, so most of the shortfall reduced
peanuts crushed for oil and exports. Chinese peanut exports
dropped about 60 percent, as many of its traditional
Southeast Asian buyers, particularly Indonesia, scaled back
imports because of struggling economies. Lower crushing
decreased Chinese peanut meal output about 190,000 tons.
India's 1997 peanut production also fell, declining 1.0 million tons to 8.0 million. The principal peanut regions of
western India received adequate summer rain for early
development, but successive dryness pinched yields. As in
China, India's peanut shortfall was entirely borne by a
reduction in crushing, which widened the nation's deficit in
domestic vegetable oil supplies. Conversely, good weather
helped Argentine peanut production reach a record of 0.65
million tons. Argentina exported about three-fourths of the
crop, becoming the world's leading peanut exporter in
1997/98.
El Nino dramatically cut fishmeal production in Peru and
Chile (which account for about 60 percent of world output).
This climatic phenomenon involves an abnormal warming
of equatorial Pacific Ocean waters. Fish move to colder,
deeper waters and normal migration patterns are altered,
hampering the South American coastal fish harvests. A higher proportion of the fish caught were small juveniles, leading the governments of both countries to impose seasonal
fishing bans to prevent overfishing during the 1998 spawning period. As a result, the catch of sardines and anchovies
for reduction into fishmeal declined. Global fishmeal output
dropped nearly one-fifth in 1997/98 to 5.1 million tons.
World fishmeal prices increased about one-fifth from a year
earlier. China is the world's largest consumer of high protein
fishmeal. The price hike reduced Chinese 1997/98 fishmeal
imports by 17 percent. World fish oil production also fell to
the smallest volume since 1972. Sharply rising prices curtailed fish oil imports and consumption by the major buyers
in Western Europe.
World Vegetable Oil Situation

Global vegetable oil output rose 2 percent to 76.8 million
tons in 1997/98, the smallest increase since 1992/93.
Soybean oil accounted for virtually all of the gain. World
rapeseed oil production also increased 7 percent, with most
of that increase due to greater EU area. Aside from these
two oils, world production of other vegetable oils stagnated.
World palm oil production fell slightly (compared with an
8-percent increase in 1996/97). Drought throughout
Southeast Asia held down production of tropical oils. The
growth in world vegetable oil consumption outstripped the
increase in production by about 0.7 million tons this year,
leaving stocks at 6.6 miIIion, the lowest since 1994/95.
World use of vegetable oils increased 2 miIIion tons to 77.3
miIIion in 1997/98. Estimated global vegetable oil trade
increased to 29.3 miIIion tons, up 430,000 from 1996/97.
World exports of palm oil grew more slowly. Consequently,
world import demand for soybean oil benefited (as well as
the soybeans imported to produce it). Global production of
soybean oil jumped 10 percent to 22.8 miIIion tons.
Soybean oil constituted 6.8 miIIion tons of world vegetable
oil trade, up from 5.9 miIIion in 1996/97. Exports of soybean oil surged from the United States and Argentina, to 1.4
miIIion and 2.1 miIIion tons, respectively. Brazil emphasized
greater soybean exports than crushing, so its soybean oil
supplies and exports negligibly changed. For years, China
has been the premier import market for vegetable oils. In
1997/98, Chinese soybean oil imports were 1.9 miIIion tons
and palm oil imports were 1.5 miIIion tons. Import growth
by India moderated as domestic oil production (particularly
soybean oil) kept pace with consumption.
A prolonged drought reduced palm oil yields throughout the
major Southeast Asian producing countries. Had global
palm oil production grown the same 8 percent as in
1996/97, it would amount to about 1.3 miIIion metric tons
more oil. In terms of soybean oil, this would be equivalent
to losing 6.5 million acres of soybeans, or one-tenth of U.S.
acreage. Competing oilseeds and vegetable oils had to pick
up the slack, reflected by escalating world trade and prices.
The discount under soybean oil narrowed and favored more
world soybean oil trade.
Malaysian palm oil production fell to 8.6 miIIion tons
(down from 9.0 miIIion in 1996/97), because of a year-long
drought. Monthly oil production has fallen since December.
The currency devaluation and the restrictions on Indonesian
exports made Malaysian palm oil exports more competitive.
Despite the slippage in production, Malaysia's 1997/98
palm oil exports stayed relatively firm at 7.4 miIIion tons.
However, this led to very low stocks and rising domestic

prices. Malaysia's domestic use showed little growth in
1997/98 as the weak currency made palm oil cheaper for
foreign buyers and more expensive for internal consumers.
Indonesia, the world's second largest producer of crude
palm oil, also suffered from severe drought. Indonesian
palm oil production fell from 5.4 miIIion to 5.0 miIIion tons
in 1997/98. In mid-1997, the Indonesian government dramatically reduced export taxes on crude palm oil. But that
regime was replaced by a quota system, where exporters
were to limit their exports to one-fourth of their total palm
oil production to stabilize domestic prices. To restore dollar
reserves to service a large foreign debt, Indonesian exports
(including palm oil) also needed to expand greatly, which
raised the domestic prices for these goods. But, to stabilize
palm oil prices for Indonesian consumers, the government
instead instituted a ban on exports that lasted until late
April. Customary imports of palm oil from Malaysia would
only exacerbate the foreign exchange difficulties. The
export ban made palm oil prices for the world market even
more volatile. Lower production and imports from Malaysia
shaved Indonesian 1997/98 palm oil exports to 2.3 miIIion
tons, from the 1996/97 export volume of 2.4 miIIion.
In the interim, Malaysia became the focal point for world
demand, and the steady depletion of palm oil stocks hiked
prices to $690 per ton by May from less than $500 a year
earlier. International palm oil prices eased after the ban
ended, although riots on Sumatra temporarily disrupted
shipments between palm plantations and local refineries and
ports. The price decline was moderated by an increase in
Indonesia's export tax on crude palm oil from 5 to 60 percent, as well as higher tax rates on refined palm oil and
palm kernel oil. Smuggling to evade the export ban and
export taxes was common. The government also subsidized
lower consumer prices for palm oil with proceeds from the
export tax. However, the economic crisis cut 1997/98
domestic consumption to an estimated 2.8 miIIion tons from
3.0 miIIion a year earlier. Tight capital wiII constrain future
expansion of palm area.
World supplies of rapeseed and sunflowerseed oil came into
short supply as well, as a brisk crushing pace depleted seed
stocks. Global 1997/98 sunflowerseed production was down
nearly 0.3 miIIion tons. Exports of U.S. sunflowerseed and
oil were uncommonly strong, reflecting Argentina's disappointing sunflowerseed harvest. On the demand side, declining stocks and widening vegetable oil deficits in China,
India, and Pakistan raised import needs.
Situation for Other U.S. Oil Crops

Cottonseed
In the 1997/98 season, U.S. farmers planted 13.8 million
acres of cotton, all kinds, a 5.6-percent decline from the previous season. Despite the lower plantings, cotton harvested
area actually increased in 1997 as abandoned acreage was
much lower than in the 1996 season. However, lower yields
in 1997 caused final cottonseed production to fall 2.9 percent to 6.935 million short tons.
Total supply of cottonseed in 1997/98 was 7.522 million
short tons, 2.1 percent below the previous year. Cottonseed
crush and exports were up 15,000 short tons each from the
previous year at 3.885 million and 146,000 short tons,
respectively. Other use of cottonseed, primarily whole seed
feeding, was 2.929 million short tons, 8 percent below the
1996 season. Ending stocks as of July 31, 1998, modestly
tightened to 490,000 tons.
Cottonseed Oil Prices Buoy Products Value,

While Meal Tumbles
In the 1997 cottonseed products marketing year, cottonseed
oil prices averaged near 30 cents per pound, compared with
25.58 cents for the 1996 season. For the first quarter of the
October-September season, the price of cottonseed meal
held very steady near $190 per ton. By February, the monthly average price fell to $139 per ton. The 1997/98 average
cottonseed meal price was $146.50 per short ton, compared
with $192.06 in 1996/97. For the 1996 season, cottonseed
oil represented 48 percent of the oil-and-meal value of products and cottonseed meal represented 52 percent. In
1997/98, cottonseed oil rose to 58 percent of the oil and
meal value, while meal fell to 42 percent. The total value of
oil and meal per ton of seed crushed in the 1997 season was
$160, compared with $169 for the 1996 season. Thus, even
with a significant shift in the relative value of oil and meal,
the total value of these products was relatively stable.
In the 1997 season, prices for competing feeds were lower
than in the previous season, which likely contributed to the
lower level of cottonseed feeding. Corn prices in the 1997
season averaged about $2.50 per bushel, compared with $2.73
a year earlier, while soybean meal prices averaged about $186
per short ton, compared with a whopping $271 for the 1996
season. In the 1996 season, the feed value of cottonseed was
very competitive with the value of oil and meal from crushing, while in the 1997 season, the product value from crushing exceeded the implied feed value of cottonseed.
The lower value of cottonseed in the 1997 season in both
oil-and-meal output from crushing and in feeding was
reflected in a lower average price received by farmers for
cottonseed in the 1997 season. U.S. farmers received $121
10
per short ton in the 1997 season, down from $126 a year
earlier. Based on a crop of 6.935 million short tons, the farmgate value of the 1997 cottonseed crop is placed at $876
million, below the previous season's $916 million but still
the second highest on record.
Peanuts
On December 16, 1996, USDA announced a national peanut
poundage quota for the 1997 marketing year of 1.133 million short tons, in-shell basis, or 2,266 million pounds, up 3
percent from 1996. This amount equaled the estimated
quantity of peanuts needed for domestic edible and related
uses, excluding seed, and allowed for underdeliveries of up
to 4.5 percent. On February 14, 1997, USDA announced a
national average price support for 1997 quota peanuts of
$610 per short ton, unchanged from a year earlier, and a
national average support rate for additional peanuts of $132
per short ton, also unchanged.
U.S. peanut producers planted 1.431 million acres of
peanuts in 1997, up 2.1 percent from a year earlier. By
region, 1997 peanut plantings declined in the Southeast
(AL, FL, GA, and SC) by 1.3 percent to 817,000 acres,
declined in the Virginia-North Carolina region by 2.5 percent to 197,000 acres, and rose in the Southwest (TX, OK,
and NM) by 12.2 percent to 417,000 acres. In Virginia and
North Carolina, plantings of 75,000 and 122,000 acres,
respectively, were the lowest in at least 50 years.
U.S. peanut production in 1997 totaled 3,537.1 million
pounds, in-shell basis, down 3.4 percent from the previous
year. Average yield per harvested acre was 2,507 pounds, a
146-pound drop from the 1996 yield. Larger beginning
stocks and imports helped to moderate the production
decline, but total supply was nonetheless down 1.6 percent
from the 1996 season to 4.473 billion pounds-the lowest
since the drought-stricken 1990 crop.
The 1997 U.S. peanut crop got off to a slow start, but was
helped by rains in July in many areas. Early season yield
prospects were good, but lack of moisture in August and
September cut yield prospects significantly. When the final
tally was taken, the average yield fell from the previous
season in every State and region except the Southwest. The
average yield in Texas rose to a record 2,610 pounds per
harvested acre as production continues to expand on irrigated acreage.
u.s.
1997 Peanut Food Use Rises
The 1997 peanut crop year saw another rise in food use, the
second consecutive annual increase, following several seasons of decline. Food use of peanuts rose 3.4 percent to
2,099 million pounds, in-shell basis. The increase was comEconomic Research Service/USDA
prised of a 2.9-percent growth rate for primary products and

a 9.5-percent rise in roasting stock use. At 184 million
pounds, roasting stock use was record high for the second
straight year and for 3 of the last 4 years. New products,
such as, flavored in-shell peanuts, are likely aiding consumption of roasting stock.
Individual categories of primary product use in 1997 saw
peanut candy fall 2.7 percent, snack peanuts rise 5.8 percent, peanut butter rise 4.5 percent and "other" use rise 4.9
percent. In the important peanut butter category, an 1l.8percent rise in government purchases helped boost domestic
disappearance. Assuming constant stocks of peanut butter
and adjusting for trade, the associated rise in non-government purchases of peanut butter was 1.7 percent.
Peanut Crush Falls on Lower Supply,

Exports Stay Strong
The tighter supply of peanuts in the 1997 season weighed
on peanut crushing for oil and meal. On an in-shell basis,
peanuts crushed in 1997 totaled 544 million pounds, 21 percent below the previous year. This level represents the
smallest annual peanut crush since the 1986 season. Peanut
exports remained strong, however, rising to 681 million
pounds from 666 million in 1996.
The lower peanut crush in 1997 dropped peanut oil production to 176 million pounds, its lowest since the 1987 season.
Exceptionally large beginning stocks of 86 million pounds
helped boost total supply, which nonetheless totaled 31 million pounds lower in the 1997 season to 270 million.
Although peanut oil prices averaged 49.0 cents per pound in
the 1997 season, versus 43.7 cents a year earlier, domestic
consumption of peanut oil rose to 216 million pounds.
Average annual use of peanut oil is usually about 200 million pounds. With peanut oil production much lower and use
strong, ending stocks in the 1997 season were halved from
their beginning levels to 41 million pounds.
Production of peanut meal in 1997 likewise fell sharply, and
with no large beginning stocks to boost supply, domestic use
fell 33 percent to 95,000 short tons. The season average
price for peanut meal rose to $210.29 per short ton, up
slightly from 1996.
U.S. 1997-Crop Peanut Prices

and Farm Value Fall
The tighter supply notwithstanding, the 1997 U.S. average
farm price received for peanuts fell to 26.1 cents per pound
from 28.1 cents for the 1996 crop. Based on the outturn of
3.537 billion pounds, the farm value of the 1997/98 crop
was $923.2 million, the first crop valued at less than $1 billion since 1983.
Sunflowerseed
With greater planting flexibility gained through the 1996 farm
legislation, farmers have a renewed interest in producing
minor oilseeds. In the spring of 1997, grain prices plummeted
from their high 1996 level while oilseed prices remained stable. And near-record snow depths during the winter of 1997
led to spring flooding and late planting in the Northern Plains.
These factors shifted acreage from wheat to sunflowers,
which have a shorter growing season. Sunny skies prevailed
throughout May and accelerated drying of soils, allowing
farmers to catch up on sunflower planting. U.S. farmers planted 2.92 million acres, up 14 percent from 1996. Virtually all
of the area increase was in North Dakota. But delays in planting, a dry summer, and severe midge infestations trimmed
1997 average sunflowerseed yields to 1,320 pounds per acre
from 1,435 pounds in 1996/97. Year to year production
increased 177 million pounds to 3,763 million, on the
strength of 353,000 more acres harvested. Despite record harvested acreage of 628,000 acres, production of non-oil varieties fell 4 percent because of lower yields.
The sunflowerseed crush soared to 2,338 million pounds in
1997/98. The major reason for the surge was that sunflower
oil exports increased nearly one-fourth from 1996/97. By
late summer, that robust growth had considerably shrunk
available supplies. Season ending sunflowerseed stocks fell
sharply to 202 million pounds following 2 years of large
carryover. A stronger world vegetable oil market supported
prices of high oil content oilseeds such as sunflowerseed.
Despite ample supplies, the 1997/98 average farm price for
sunflowerseed stayed firm at $11.85 per hundredweight.
U.S. sunflowerseed oil exports were about 100 million
pounds higher than 1996/97 shipments of 709 million. This
is mainly because of greater oil exports to Algeria, Mexico,
and Egypt. The spurt in sunflower oil production caused an
unusually small price premium relative to soybean oil.
Sunflowerseed oil prices averaged 27 cents per pound in
1997/98, compared with 22.5 cents the previous season. The
average price for sunflower meal was pressured by much
higher soybean meal supplies, and dropped from $111 per
short ton the previous year to $84.
Other Minor Oilseeds

The upward trend in U.S. canola acreage resumed after the
previous season's downturn. Canola plantings for 1997
totaled 728,000 acres, nearly double 1996's 366,000 acres.
Production of canola rose to a record 914.4 million pounds.
Despite expanded domestic supplies, canola seed imports
from Canada surged 30 percent. Strong canola oil demand
spurred a 65-percent increase in domestic crush to 1,427
million pounds. Very brisk Canadian crushing swelled U.S.
canola meal imports 44 percent to 1.4 million tons, which
continue to be in great demand by western cattle producers.
11
Plantings of flaxseed soared 52 percent in 1997 to 146,000

acres. Near trend yields allowed a reversal in the long slide
in flaxseed production, which rose to 2.2 million bushels.
The domestic increase was not enough to slow flaxseed
imports from Canada, however, which climbed to 9.6 million bushels. The recovery in supplies rebuilt ending stocks
from the very low 1996/97 carryout of 0.5 million bushels
to 1.2 million. This eased the 1997/98 average farm price to
$5.80 per bushel, down from $6.37 in 1996/97. Linseed
meal prices fell along with the rest of the protein meal sector, declining from $159 per short ton to $110.
A more modest 9-percent increase in 1997 safflower
acreage, to 263,000 acres, was also reported. U.S. safflowerseed production increased a modest 2 percent in 1997 to
430 million pounds.
12
Corn Oil
Domestic producers manufactured 2.3 billion pounds of corn
oil in 1997/98, up nearly 5 percent from the previous year.
Corn oil prices rose to 31-33 cents per pound as carryout
stocks declined slightly to 120 million pounds. The main reason for the tightening supplies was the expansion in U.S.
corn oil exports (largely to Spain and Italy) to 1.1 billion
pounds, up from 988 million a year earlier. Rising European
sunflower oil prices aided foreign demand for corn oil.
Between fall 1997 and summer 1998, the corn oil price premium over soybean oil widened considerably, from less than
1 cent per pound to as much as 7 cents. Higher prices led to
only a slight increase in total domestic disappearance of corn
oil, although consumption in finished products (including
frying oils and margarine) declined 9 percent.
Other Fats and Oils Highlights

Imported Oils
u.s. imports of coconut oil increased dramatically in

1997/98 to 1.4 billion pounds from 1.19 billion in 1996/97.
Global production of coconut oil is anticipated to drop in
1999 because of drought in the Philippines, so some imports
were made to build up U.S. stocks. Coconut oil also gained
at the expense of palm kernel oil, which became relatively
more expensive following sluggish growth in 1998 output.
U.S. palm kernel oil imports dropped about one-fifth in
1997/98 to 350 million pounds.
Global olive oil production totaled 2.4 million metric tons in
1997/98. More normal Spanish harvests, which typically
account for 45 percent of world output, eased world olive
oil prices about 30 percent from a year earlier. Sharply
lower costs and growing public appeal raised U.S. 1997/98
olive oil imports to a record 365 million pounds.
(averaging 23.0 cents) had cut domestic disappearance. But

greater supplies in 1997/98 moderated the average lard price
to 19.8 cents per pound, lifting domestic disappearance 6
percent to 917 million pounds. Taiwan, Japan, and several
Latin American nations increased lard imports, boosting
U.S. exports to 120 million pounds.
End Uses of Fats and Oils

The sole area of growth in the vegetable oils market last
year was for salad and cooking oils, already the largest
channel for oil consumption. U.S. production of salad and
cooking oils was up nearly 3 percent in calendar 1997 to a
record 6,725 million pounds. Consumption of soybean oil
for salad and cooking oils increased 12 percent to 6,192 million pounds. Imports of refined canola oil continue to
expand into U.S. salad and cooking oils. Domestic consumption of corn oil dropped 16 percent, as foreign demand
increasingly bid away supplies.
Animal Fats
Despite a slight reduction in cattle slaughter, higher slaughter weights countered to raise U.S. 1997/98 tallow output.
Edible tallow production rebounded to 1.5 billion pounds,
following the 1996/97 decline to 1.4 billion. U.S. tallow
exports increased more than one-third, to 240 million
pounds, because of greater supplies and higher world prices
for palm stearin, a competing feedstock in the manufacture
of fatty acids for soaps, detergents, pharmaceuticals, and
cosmetics. Export gains were most apparent for Latin
American countries. But tumbling Asian currencies near the
end of 1997 put downward pressure on tallow prices, which
averaged 20.7 cents per pound, compared with 23.0 cents a
year earlier. Prices regained some momentum after the
postponement of an EU proposal to ban the use (for all purposes) of tallow made from materials with a higher risk for
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). U.S. rendering
plants do not exclude applicable tissues such as cattle
brains and spinal cords prior to processing. Without an
exemption for BSE-free countries, such as the United
States, the ban would have blocked tallow exports to
Europe. Based on higher use for inedible products, growth
in domestic disappearance was more modest, rising 2 percent to 1,250 million pounds.
Continuing a downward trend since 1993, U.S. production

of baking and frying fats declined 5 percent to 5,656 million
pounds. Per capita consumption of baking and frying fats
declined to 20.9 pounds, the lowest since 1983.
Consumption of soybean oil for baking and frying was
4,517 million pounds, down 4 percent from 1996.
Margarine production also declined in 1997, down 5 percent
to 2,367 million pounds. Per capita margarine consumption
fell to 8.7 pounds, the lowest level in three decades.
Consumption of soybean oil for margarine dropped 3 percent
to 1,650 million pounds. Likewise, butter production
declined 2 percent in 1997 and was 9 percent lower than the
preceding lO-year average. Per capita consumption of butter
has declined over the last 20 years as more butterfat has been
used for dairy products other than butter, such as cheese and
premium ice cream. By the end of 1997, butter stocks had
become very tight and prices had risen to record highs.
Consumption of oils for inedible uses (particularly fatty
acids, animal feed, and soap) surged in 1997 to 6.5 billion
pounds. Use of soybean oil in inedible products soared 29
percent to 393 million pounds. For edible tallow, a drop in
food uses also allowed much greater inedible consumption.
Lard production also bounced back in 1997/98, rising 9 percent to 1,065 million pounds. Higher prices in 1996/97

Special Article
Soybean Supply and Use Tables Published

for First Time in China
Hsin-Hui Hsu and Frederick W Crook]
Abstract: This year, China's Ministry of Agriculture Information Center published for the
first time a supply and demand balance sheet for the soybean complex. The report indicated
that China produced about 14 million tons of soybeans in 1997/98, making it the world's
fourth largest soybean producer behind the United States, Brazil, and Argentina. The report
also showed that yearend soybean stocks are forecast at 1.8 million tons, up 300,000 tons
from the previous year. Because of rapid expansion of the economy, accelerated demand for
meat products, and limited cropland for additional sown areas, China's imports of soybean,
soymeal, and soyoil have increased dramatically in recent years. Imports of soybeans, edible
vegetable oils, and protein meals are expected to continue rising because of the increasing
gap between domestic demand and supply. However, there is uncertainty as to whether the
mix of products will include proportionally more oil and meal or more beans for crushing
domestically.
Keywords: soybeans, soymeal, soyoil, China
Background
The monthly world supply and use table issued by the U.S.
Department Agriculture's World Agricultural Outlook Board
lacks information about China's soybean economy. Under
the Emerging Markets Program, USDA's Foreign
Agricultural Service (FAS) and Economic Research Service
(ERS) initiated a project to help nine agencies 2 in China
establish single commodity supply and use balance sheet
tables. The program began in spring 1997. Analysts from
the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) Information Center
attended ERS training sessions in Beijing and in
Washington, D.C. In spring 1998, MOA presented an article
entitled "China's Soybean Complex Market Review and
Forecast," that was included in a booklet published by
China's State Administration of Grain Reserves (SAGR)
National Grain Information Center entitled Soycomplex
Market Analysis and Forecast in 1998, in Chinese. (4)

Restructuring Economic Systems, Ministry of Agriculture Information
Center, Ministry of Agriculture Research Center for Rural Economy, State

This article presents a MOA analyst's view of China's soybean supply and use. The information was obtained from
meetings with MOA and SAGR officials during a trip to
China by a USDA Soybean Team in July 1998. 3 While the
supply and use tables do not represent formal or official
tables from MOA or SAGR, they do give insights with
regard to soybean supply and use in China from well trained
and well-qualified analysts. These tables also do not represent USDA estimates.
Soybean Supply and Use

China planted 8.3 million hectares of soybeans with an estimated production of 14.7 million tons in 1997/98 (October/
September). Currently, China is the world's fourth largest
soybean producer behind the United States (79 mmt), Brazil
(29 mmt), and Argentina (15.5 mmt). The general consensus
among government officials and oilseed analysts in China
was that the demand for soybeans and their products
(soymeal and soyoil) will exceed domestic supplies and that
China will continue to import soybeans products. In the
coming decade, USDA projects that area sown to soybeans
is unlikely to expand, yields will increase a little bit, and
output will gradually increase to around 16 million tons (1

In addition to soybeans, China has many varieties of

oilseeds, including rapeseed, peanuts, sunflower, and cottonseed. However, because more than 40 percent of soybeans
are used for direct food consumption, soybeans are treated
as a grain and are subject to stringent grain regulations in
seven major soybean production provinces. 4 All other
oilseeds are produced, bought, and sold under free market
conditions. China's statistical system defines edible oilseeds
as rapeseed, peanuts, sunflower, sesame, and huma (flax)
but excludes cottonseed and soybeans. Rapeseed output is
likely to expand in south China, because it is a winter crop
and does not necessarily compete with rice for land use.
Output of edible oilseeds was estimated at 21.6 million tons
in 1997. (5)
In terms of use, there is a clear distinction between domestic
soybeans and imported soybeans. Of domestic production,
38-44 percent (6.2 million tons) is consumed directly, or
used in other food products, primarily tofu. Low production
will lead to lower disappearance for food use. Using a 5year average, 4.2 percent (0.6 million tons) of domestic production is used for seed. Using the same data, approximately 3 percent of local production is attributed to industrial
purposes and waste. When China's officials referred to
'industrial use', the term included oil used in food processing and manufacturing. The remaining share of domestic
production-between 49 and 55 percent-is crushed.
Beginning in 1996, China became a major soybean importer
as the demand for meal and oil continued to increase, and
investments in the oilseed processing industry took place.
(2) It is generally understood that domestic soybeans have a
lower oil content than imported soybeans- 15 percent
(domestic) compared to nearly 18 percent (U.S. and Brazil).
As a result, most soybean imports are destined for the crushing industry. The total soybean crush, while averaging 8
million tons over the 5-year period, grew to 9 million tons
in 1996. Growth in the crushing industry has been fueled by
soybean imports during the past 3 years.
Demand for animal protein and vegetable oil (soybean oil
accounted for about 50 percent of total edible oil) should continue to rise because of population increases and increases in
per capita income. With the accelerating output of processed
food, use of vegetable oil in processed foods has increased.
Traditionally, stocks of food grains and oils are kept for
national security reasons. China's officials seldom reveal
concrete numbers, magnitude, or current direction of buildup
or depletion. The State Administration of Grain Reserves
(SAGR) is responsible for procuring and storing grains and
oilseeds. There are three levels of reserves: central government, local reserve, and on-farm stocks. Under the new grain

marketing reform, SAGR is responsible for storing selected

grains and oilseeds for purposes of food security and for balancing prices in disaster years. Provincial government officials manage local stocks. In terms of the state's priorities for
securing grains, wheat and rice (food grains) rank higher
than corn and soybeans (feed ingredients).
The MOA Information Center provided no explanation or
identification about the nature (ownership) of the stock
numbers listed in table A-I. Officials at SAGR implied that
farmers generally do not hold stocks for commercial purposes (above and beyond their annual use). According to the
above data, it is evident that the stocks-to-use ratio has
decreased from more than 23 percent in 1993/94 to just
under 10 percent in 1996/97. In other words, stock levels
declined from 84 days' use to 36 days' use. These data are
consistent with the increase in total soybean disappearance
that has been driven by rising soybean meal and oil demand
and rising prices.
Soymeal Supply and Use

Soybean meal supply has increased dramatically beginning
in 1996/97. Total availabilities of soybean meal increased to
nearly 11 million tons in 1997/98, up 126 percent from
1993/94. Soymeal supplies during the 1997/98 marketing
year are to the point of surplus in certain areas. Analysts at
MOA constructed table A-2, which is the first soymeal supply and use table coming from China.
Use of soymeal, like soybeans, can be distinguished
between domestic production and imports. Soymeal production from domestic soybeans has remained relatively stable,
following domestic soybean production. It might be inferred
that the consumption of this meal is concentrated in livestock producing areas, with a relatively large share consumed by small-scale farm operations.
In contrast soymeal imports have grown dramatically,

underpinning growth and development of the feed and livestock industry. Soymeal imports are largest in the ports of
Shanghai and Guangzhou, which are both far to the south of
the major soybean producing areas. Domestic crushers that
import soybeans for processing into meal and oil are unable
to compete with soymeal imports because of the low tariff
and the absence of a value added tax (VAT) on soymeal
imports. This situation has created a severe imbalance, as
numerous agents have continued to import soymeal despite
growing stocks.
Soymeal accounts for about 16-20 percent of swine and
poultry rations, and approximately 25 percent of commercial aquaculture feedstuffs (1). In 1998, soymeal's share of
livestock feed was possibly at its highest level due to the
availabilities and the relatively low prevailing prices compared with other protein substitutes such as fish meal. Pork
production and consumption are expected to expand at a

attractive, growth has great potential.
Soybean Oil Supply and Use

Edible oil crushed from rapeseeds, peanuts, sunflower
seeds, cottonseed, and soybeans totaled about 7 million tons
in 1997. Oil imports for 1997 were 2.75 million tons and
exports were about 750,000 tons so that net imports were
about 2 million tons. Annual consumption was about 9 million tons excluding soyoil and cottonseed oil.
16
The table provided by MOA analysts highlighted several

interesting aspects: (1) imports for 1996/97 and 1997/98 are
higher than customs statistics suggest, implying that there is
an acknowledgment that soyoil is entering through unofficial trade channels5 ; (2) surplus (or stocks) data are included; and (3) 1997/98 supply and use are forecast. This suggests MOA has made significant progress in developing and
circulating up-to-date supply and use tables similar to those
us~d by USDA's World Agricultural Outlook Board.
5Because of a preferential tax treatment for soymeal imports, China's

domestic crushers were discouraged from importing beans for crushing in
recent years. As much as 1 to 2 million tons of vegetable oils have been
smuggled into China in 1997/98.

Although the extent to which this information is distributed

domestically remains unclear, it is precisely the type of
information that the oilseed industry in China needs.
Domestic soybean oil production has grown in recent years
following the increase in the domestic soybean crush.
Soybean oil imports have also increased dramatically,
despite significant soyoil smuggling during 1997 and 1998.
Estimates of the extent of smuggling range between 1 and 2
million tons (including palm oil). While it is generally
assumed that the majority of the smuggling occurs in the
south, there are indications that much of the oil reached
northern ports, as the smuggling is likely a paper transaction
(non-declaration at customs to avoid the tariff and VAT).
As with the production and use of soybeans and soybean
meal, there are distinctions to be made across China's rural
and urban sectors. The growth in soyoil consumption is taking place predominantly in the urban areas where availability and restaurant use are the highest. Per capita edible oil
consumption is low in rural areas and expansion there will
be more rapid than in urban areas. There may be some temporary slowing of demand for animal proteins and vegetable
oils as residents in China adjust to new economic situations.
These situations include economic uncertainties and constrained food budgets as urban consumers have to pay an
increasing share of their income for housing, education, and
health, which the government used to pay for. But in the
long run, increasing demand for animal protein and edible
oil should remain strong.
Consumption of soyoil by the industrial food processing

sector has also experienced significant growth in urban centers. Part of this increase was caused by reducing the use of
palm oil in manufacturing instant noodles, which requires a
great deal of vegetable oil. Private companies indicated that
small amounts of soybean oil are used in paints and printing
in Shanghai. (1)
In the rural areas, farmers consume oil from their own
oilseed production. Consumption, with regards to quantity
and type, is largely a function of availability as well as
income levels (table A-4). Total rural vegetable oil consumption is estimated at only 4.49 kg per person according
to SSB data for 1996.
While the type of vegetable oil consumed depends on local
oilseed production, there are also some interesting relationships between per capita vegetable oil consumption and per
capita meat consumption across regions. Families often purchase fatty meat at markets and rend the fat in a wok and
then proceed to stir fry vegetables, sauces and meats. Hence
in some areas there is a connection between meat consumption and edible oil consumption. In the urban areas, vegetable oil consumption is influenced by taste and preferences as well as imports and availability. Consumers in the
north and northeast prefer soyoil, while western consumers
in Sichuan like rapeseed oil and southerners in Guangdong
enjoy peanut oil more than any other oils. In general per
capita consumption is higher in urban areas, with the nation-
17
al average reported as 7.14 kg by SSB. Animal fat consumption in urban areas is noticeably lower than in rural areas.
Data on urban consumption underestimate total per capita
vegetable oil consumption due to the following factors: (1)
out-of-home consumption is not included; and (2) consumption of oil in processed products, which use significant
amounts of soy and palm oil, are not included.
Urban areas are also experiencing significant growth in the
production and consumption of refined oils. While no statistics are available on consumption of refined oils, traders
suggested that up to 25 percent of the vegetable oil consumed in China's urban areas was refined. The majority of
oil consumed is second grade, which is only degummed.

Despite Rise of Market Forces, Continued Government

Intervention in China's Soybean Economy
Adds Uncertainty in World Oilseed Markets
Frederick "Iv. Crook and Hsin-Hui Hsu l
Abstract: China's soybean economy is an important element in world oilseed markets

because China is both a major producer, consumer and recently a major importer of soybeans. China's government intervenes in its soybean economy in many different ways and
policy changes can have substantial effects on production, consumption, and trade. This
report briefly outlines the major policies affecting China's soybean economy. Information for
this paper came from a USDA Soybean Team that visited China in July 1998 and from previously published materials on China's agricultural policies (3,4, and 5).
Keywords: China, soybeans, marketing reform
Where Do Soybeans Fit in China's

Policy Context?
China's leaders and statisticians regard soybeans as a grain
crop, but all grain crops do not have equal weight.
Government leaders place highest priority in terms of production and food security issues on food grains such as
wheat, rice, and corn. A few years ago soybeans were
among this high priority group, but in 1998 they appear to
have slipped. Currently the central government has fixed
procurement quotas for only wheat, rice, and corn.
In July 1998, a Deputy Director of the State Administration
of Grain Reserves (SAGR) reported that the central government no longer sets fixed quota or support prices for soybeans. Rather, the Director said that seven provinces,
including Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia Autonomous
Regions (IMAR), set the fixed quota and support prices for
their own jurisdictions (5, p. 41). But in October colleagues
in China reported only two provinces continue to fix procurement quotas for soybeans: Heilongjiang and IMAR (9).
It appears that the central government and perhaps provincial governments are paying less attention to soybeans.
Oilseed crops such as peanuts, rapeseed sesame, and sunflowerseed have generally been freed from most government controls and currently the government relies on market
forces to manage these crops. In addition, government controls for sorghum, millet, barley, oats, peas and beans, and
potatoes have been lifted and these commodities are freely
traded in open markets.

Soybeans and the Government-Owned Grain

Bureau System: 1955-1997
Beginning in 1955 the China's government established the
"planned purchase and planned supply system" in which the
government-owned Grain Bureaus controlled the grain and
oilseed economies: production, purchase, transportation,
storage, milling and retailing of grains and edible oils. The
Grain Bureau organization includes a bureau in the central
government and bureaus at provincial, prefecture, and county levels with grain stations in the townships (communes).
This very large bureaucracy assessed the supply and
demand situation at each level and transferred grains from
surplus units to deficit ones.

In this system production units were issued procurement

quotas that detailed the types, quantities, time, and place
grains were to be delivered to the local grain stations. The
central government fixed the purchase price for these quotas.
To encourage production units to sell even more grain after
completing their fixed quotas, the government set an abovequota price. When open markets were allowed in the early
1980s, production units immediately began to be aware of
the price gaps between the fixed quota, above-quota, and the
open market price. In time the government began to raise the
fixed quota and above-quota prices (figure B-3).
From 1955 through the early 1980s the grain Bureaus dealt
with all grains. But with the opening of rural markets in the
early 1980s Grain Bureaus began to pay less attention to
minor grains such as potatoes, sorghum, millet, barley, oats,
peas, and beans. Most of their attention was focused on purchasing wheat, rice, corn, and soybeans.
When local free market prices rose above the fixed quota
price and support prices, as shown in figure B-3, farmers
were required to sell quantity OA to local grain stations.
After fulfilling the quota farmers then could sell quantity
AB to the grain stations (oilseed mills) at a negotiated or
open market price. Government-negotiated prices varied on
a daily basis and usually settled between the fixed quota and
market price.
In cases where market prices fell below the fixed quota
prices, the government provided for support prices (baohu
jige). For example when China's domestic corn prices fell
below the fixed quota price in 1997, Grain Bureaus were
supposed to purchase corn at the support price. Figure B-4
illustrates the situation where market prices fall below the
support price and government "support" prices become
effective. In this case, farmers would sell quantity OA to the
grain stations at the fixed quota price. The Grain Bureau
grain stations were supposed to purchase soybean AC at
support price. Quantity BC is greater than the market
requirements, and presumably this quantity would have
been placed in government storage.

Soybeans in the 1998 Reform of the Grain

Marketing System
The General Situation
In March 1998 China's new Premier, Mr. Zhu Rong-ji, formulated a program to reform China's grain purchase system
which he summarized as the "Four Separations; One
Perfection." The primary focus of this policy was wheat,
rice, corn, and soybeans (3).
The first of the four separations removes policy functions
from commercial functions. Current Grain Bureaus now
handle both commercial and policy operations. For example,
they purchase grain on their own account to pursue profits,
and they also purchase grain from farmers at fixed quota
prices, store government-owned grain, mill grain, and retail
some grain at fixed prices.
Second, central government-owned grain and oil stocks are
to be kept separate from commercially held stocks. In 1997
the State Administration for Grain Reserves (SAGR) was
connected to the Ministry of Internal Trade. In the current
government reorganization the Ministry of Internal Trade
was downgraded to the status of a bureau (now the Bureau
of Internal Trade) and the SAGR was placed under the State
Planning and Development Commission. The grain and oil
stock system needed to be reformed because even though it

grain bureaus will be separated into commercial and policy

entities. It is possible that local grain stations below the
county level will become commercial grain companies.
Local governments will merge the policy portions of the old
Grain Bureaus into "trade or commercial bureaus." Local
governments are scheduled to have responsibility for grain
production and circulation within their respective administrative boundaries.
Under the third separation, duties of the central government

in stabilizing grain and edible oil markets are to be separated from market stabilization duties of local governments.
The central government is scheduled to keep overall control
of the grain situation (perhaps control grain and edible oil
imports and exports, state-owned stocks, and the setting of
support prices). Extant provincial, prefecture, and county
The fourth separation is to divide old overdue bank debts

attributable to the purchase of grains from new debts. The
central government is still obligated to pay the old debts but

Local Grain Bureaus are trying to implement the program.

Local officials disagree strongly as to how the policy will
be implemented and what effect it will have on the use
of markets.
is no longer responsible for subsidizing local operation losses under the new reform. Recent news articles from China
suggest that over the past 6 years US$ 25.8 billion in loans
have been lost. For example, $65.6 billion in loans were
advanced to Grain Bureaus to purchase grains but Grain
Bureaus can only account for the purchase of US$39. 8
worth of grain, leaving an unaccounted for balance of $28.5
billion (10). Under the reform, Grain Bureaus are expected
to make profits in all transactions if they follow the new
policy guidelines.
Current Situation with Soybeans

The 1998 USDA Soybean Team met with many officials in
Beijing and the provinces and was told that the central government no longer establishes fixed procurement quotas for
soybeans for the provinces. In July the Team was told that
seven provinces fixed their own soybean quotas, and fixed
quota prices and support prices. Officials mentioned two
provinces as examples: Heilongjiang and IMAR, but the
Team inferred that the others were Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei,
Henan, and Shandong (see table B-1).
Finally, one perfection refers to the rule that Grain Bureaus

cannot sell their grains and take a loss.
Under the newly announced reform, farmers have three
options for disposing of their wheat, rice, corn, and soybeans. First, the government wants them to deliver their
fixed quotas to local state-owned grain stations. After farmers have fulfilled their quota, the government would like
them to sell more grain to the grain stations either at market
prices or at the support price if market prices fall below the
support price. Second, farmers are permitted to use their
own grain for their household needs. Third, after filling their
quota requirements farmers apparently can sell wheat, rice,
corn, and soybeans in local open markets.
In subsequent discussions with colleagues in China the

Team found that only Heilongjiang and IMAR have set support prices for soybeans (9). Other provinces set purchase
prices for soybeans. Under the governor's grain bag responsibility system (see below) governors set purchase prices for
soybeans to meet the supply and demand conditions within
their own provinces.
If the policy is implemented as outlined, it may dampen the
growth of markets. There are many elements of this new
policy yet to be hammered out by local Grain Bureau
administrators. At the moment no one is really certain how
the policy will be implemented, which adds even more
uncertainty to the soybean economy.
The Premier wants farmers to sell wheat, rice, corn and

soybeans only to state-controlled Grain Bureaus. He has
forbidden all other institutions from buying grain and soybeans from farmers or from markets below the county
level. He wants all grain to be marketed through the Grain
Bureau (figure B-6).

Soybeans in the Governor's Grain Bag

Responsibility System
In the early 1990s central government leaders acknowledged
a number of troublesome trends: decreasing area sown to
grains in some provinces, large grain imports, and rising
domestic grain retail prices. Moreover, China was criticized
in the international press for mishandling grain production
and food security issues. There were projections that in
future decades China's demand for grains would greatly surpass supplies and China would require very large grain
imports, which would stress international grain markets,
placing great burdens on grain-deficit countries such as
those in Africa (l and 2).
In 1995 the central leadership initiated the "governor's grain
bag responsibility system" to promote adequate supplies of
domestic grain at provincial levels wherever possible.
Provincial governors were given the responsibility to manage overall supply and demand conditions for grains with
priority given to wheat, rice, and corn. Under the new system, provincial governors were responsible for: (l) stabilizing area sown to grain crops; (2) guaranteeing investment in
inputs like chemical fertilizers to stimulate production; (3)
guaranteeing that certain quantities of grain are put into
stocks; (4) insuring that transfers of grain in and out of a
province are completed; (5) meeting urban residents' needs
by supplying grains and edible oils; (6) stabilizing grain and
edible oil prices; (7) controlling 70 to 80 percent of commercial grain sales; (8) developing means to control grain
markets; (9) raising commercial sales as a share of total
grain sales; (10) controlling grain imports and exports; and
(11) raising the level of grain self- sufficiency.
For wheat, rice, and corn the policy has meant that the government has used price incentives and administrative means
to expand area sown and to increase production.
It is less clear how the policy has affected the soybean economy. Whereas the government appears to have been successful in boosting area and production of wheat, rice, and corn,
national area and output of soybeans have fallen since 1994.
If soybean demand is greater than supply in a province, the
province's governor has a number of options. First, he can
use administrative and price support measures to encourage
farmers in his province to grow more soybeans. Second, he
can order his grain companies to buy soybeans from other
provinces. Third, he can implement administrative measures
to limit the outflow of soybeans from in his province.
Fourth, the governor can petition the State Council to grant
import licenses (and quotas as required) to import soybeans
or soybean products from foreign suppliers.
At the moment both economic and administrative forces

affect farmers' decisions to plant soybeans. Changes in various elements of the governor's grain bag policy would
affect not only soybean production but production of other
grains and oilseeds as well as producers' responses to new
prices, new cost of production environments, and new market conditions.
Soybeans in the State Administration of Grain

Reserves (SAGR)
Now SAGR only controls those soybeans placed in central
government grain stocks. SAGR uses its soybean stocks to
maintain balance in soybean markets (5). Provincial and
municipal governments' Grain Bureaus handle local procurement and stocks.
Provincial and municipal Grain Bureaus are still required by
SAGR to report the procurement prices they are using to
purchase soybeans and the quantities purchased.
23
SAGR is also responsible for setting standards for soybeans

and for all soybean products except meal, for which the
Ministry of Agriculture sets the standards. For various standards of oilseeds and their byproducts, SAGR is also
responsible for testing procedures. SAGR officials also
work with the China Commodity Inspection Bureau to
check quality of soybean and soybean product imports and
exports to ensure that products in foreign trade meet contract specifications.
Government intervention in soybean markets by purchasing
soybeans when prices are low and selling when prices are
high adds uncertainty to the soybean economy. The rules
and conventions for intervention are not regularized and are
not transparent to outside observers. (7,8, 11, and 12).
Soybeans in China's Foreign Trade System

China's crushing capacity has increased greatly since the
1980s. Currently China can crush 40 to 50 million tons of
oilseeds a year, more than double the capacity needed, as
the annual crush is about 20 million tons. The State Council
now limits foreign investment in oilseed crushing but does
encourage the expansion of oil refining (de-waxing and degumming to make salad oil). For example, before 1997 the
Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economics (MOFTEC) had
to approve oilseed crushing proposals larger than $50 million. Now MOFTEC has to approve any proposals larger
than $13 million.
During meetings held in Beijing and in the major port areas
of Dalian, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, in July, the Soybean
Team attempted to understand the policies and market environment that determined the relative mix and quantities of
imported soy products. China's imports of soybeans, meal,
and oil have been large enough and volatile enough in
recent years to capture the attention of the world's entire
oilseed industry.
Soybeans are importable subject to a 3-percent tariff and a
13-percent value added tax (VAT). The VAT is calculated
using the CIF value of the soybeans, tariff included.
Although soybeans appear in the 1998 customs report as a
'tariff rate quota' (TRQ) commodity, there is currently no
active quota system for imported soybeans. In addition to
the China Cereal Oil and Foodstuff Company (COFCO),
there are a limited number of trading agents and processing
companies that have import rights. Some foreign-owned and
joint-venture processing facilities have a license to import
soybeans directly, provided that they are all processed at the
plant. The majority of soybean crushers do not have a
license to import directly, and must procure imported soy-
24
beans through trading agents. Officially, a VAT exemption is

granted to processors only if both the meal and oil are
exported. Other sources indicated that the VAT was refundable for state-owned companies that imported soybeans, or
that partial reimbursements of the VAT were possible.
(Note: It was indicated that processors, in principle, pay the
VAT on domestically procured soybeans, as part of the procurement price).
Soybean meal is freely importable at a 5-percent tariff.
There is no active quota system or VAT applied to soybean
meal imports. Again, importing companies must obtain a
license to import the meal. While the Soybean Team was
told that these licenses are relatively easy to obtain, they
must be obtained each time a buyer intends to import, and
the quantity is specified in each case. It was suggested by
officials in Beijing and elsewhere that the VAT exemption
for soybean meal imports is intended to provide 'support'
for feed and livestock producers.
Soybean oil is subject to a quota system, a 13-percent tariff,
and a 13-percent VAT. In addition to COFCO, there are only
five other trading companies that have the authorization to
import. It was determined in discussions with officials and
state trading companies in Beijing that there is no formal
system (procedures or deadline) for announcing quota levels. In other words, the actual quota levels do not become
public knowledge. The State Planning Commission, through
centralized decision making, determines the appropriate
level of imports, and provides end-users (oil mills, trading
companies) with the quota certificates. There appears to be a
mechanism to request, or petition for these quotas, although
the procedure and timing are not clear. Once the end-users
receive the quotas, they approach one of the authorized
importers, who typically aggregate the quotas before purchasing the oil on the international market (5).
Current import policy and practice favor the imports of
soymeal over soybeans. One high government official
explained that the tariffs and tax rates were fixed to encourage the imports of soymeal and soyoil to keep the price of
edible oils and protein meals (and meat prices) low.
The Team asked if this policy could change and the official
answered, "Maybe."
The current tariff and tax rates could change as priorities
shift in China. These changes could dramatically alter not
only the mix of commodities (beans, meal, oil) but also the
quantity of products imported.

2/ Major exporters include Brazil and Argentina. 3/ EU-15, China, and Japan. 4/ World imports and exports will not balance because of
differences in local marketing years and time lags between reported exports and imports. Therefore, world supply may not equal world use.
