In 2021, sorghum prices in the U.S. rose by 55% y/y to $5.94 per bushel or $234 per ton. This year, prices are projected to gain 2% y/y, instigated by boosting demand from China and rising fertilizer expenditures.

Throughout January-August 2021, China's rice imports reached 3.2M tons, the highest level ever. India sharply boosted supplies of broken rice to 1M tons, becoming the largest exporter to China. Broken rice purchases from other leading suppliers, Vietnam, Pakistan and Thailand, have also risen.
EU Grain Prices to Drop on Lower Feed Demand, but Rising Energy Costs Impugn Forecast
Jan 7, 2022
395
By 2024, EU grain prices are expected to decrease moderately due to falling demand for livestock feed. There's a risk that if high prices for gas and a related fertilizer imbalance continue for several years, they may negate effects from the demand change. Expected increases in consumption of organic produce could also buoy the prices. By 2025, grain trade in the EU will decline by 8% to 84М tons due to diminished production and tough competition in global markets.
Chicken Meat Prices Skyrocket Due to Restored Demand in the HoReCa, a Flash of the Bird Flu and Increasing Costs for Grains
Aug 18, 2021
507
Since the start of 2021, prices in the global chicken meat market shot up as a result of high demand, rising costs for feed grain and food as well as a decreasing rate of chicken slaughter in the EU, South Korea and Japan. Heightened costs for shipping containers are additionally driving the growth in export prices. As of year-end 2021, worldwide production and exports of chicken meat are forecast to remain at the previous year’s level. Demand for chicken meat in China is dropping while the pig population in the country is recovering and hog prices are decreasing. Saudi Arabia’s ban on imports of chicken products from Brazil may lead to diminished exports from that country.
The Bread and Bakery Market in the EU Has Recovered from the Pandemic but Runs into Growing Prices
Jul 20, 2021
471
In 2020, the total bread and bakery market in the EU countries and in the UK slightly dropped to $88.7B due to lockdowns in the HoReCa segment. In the second half of 2020, demand began to rebound quickly, and in 2021, the output of bread and baked goods reached pre-pandemic levels. In the past six months, prices for bread slightly increased due to the rising costs of grains. In the mid-term, higher prices are forecast because of accelerated inflation for commodities globally. The gradual population growth in tandem with the growing desire for organic, wholegrain and gluten-free bread, as well as bread with immunity-boosting supplements, will drive the market in the medium term.
Global Sorghum Production is Booming Due to Strong Demand in China
Jul 9, 2021
558
In 2021, global sorghum production will grow by 5%, boosted by growing supplies to China. Sorghum imports to the country are expected to rise by 28% compared to the previous year, driven by the increasing demand for animal feed. Prices will continue to rise in line with other cereals, following accelerated food inflation. The advantage of sorghum as a more drought-tolerant crop will allow this product to compete seriously with corn and will further stimulate market expansion.
Russian Export Ban Could Lead to a Shortage on the Global Buckwheat Market
Jul 7, 2021
391
In the immediate term, the global buckwheat market may face a shortage due to an export ban introduced in Russia. The country, being the largest producer and exporter of buckwheat, restricted exporting unprocessed buckwheat, coarsely ground buckwheat groats, and crushed buckwheat grain from June 5, 2021, to August 31. Russia took this step to preserve the volumes of the buckwheat grain for its domestic consumption and prevent a spike in prices inside the country. China, Latvia and Ukraine featured the most prominent increases in imports from Russia in 2021.
