World Supply = Beginning Stocks + ProductionWorldDemand =Mill Use + Ending StocksWorld Supply = World Demand
World 2011/12(million metric tons) Beginning Stocks = 9.3 Production = 27.0 Supply = 36.3 Mill Use = 22.7 Ending Stocks = 13.6 Demand = 36.3
Supply = Demandhigher/lower production=higher/lower Ending Stocks
Supply = Demandhigher/lower mill use=lower/higher Ending Stocks
Country Supply = Beginning Stocks + Production + ImportsCountry Demand =Mill Use + Ending Stocks + ExportsCountry Supply = Country Demand
India 2011/12 (million metric tons) Beginning Stocks = 1.6 Production = 5.9 Imports = 0.1 Supply = 7.6 Mill Use = 4.4 Exports = 2.0 Ending Stocks = 1.2 Demand = 7.6
Important Concepts • World Ending Stocks = Beginning Stocks + Production – Mill Use • World Stocks to Use Ratio = Ending Stocks / Mill Use World Ending Stocks 2011/12 = 13.6 World Stocks to Use Ratio 2010/11 = 13.6 / 22.7 = 0.60
Important Concepts • Country Ending Stocks = Beg. Stocks + Prod. + Imports – Exports – Mill Use • Country Stocks to Mill Use Ratio = Ending Stocks / Mill Use • Country Stocks to Use Ratio = Ending Stocks / ( Mill Use + Exports ) INDIA: Ending Stocks 2011/12 = 1.2 Stocks to Mill Use Ratio 11/12 = 1.2 / 4.4 = 0.27 Stocks to Use Ratio 11/12= 1.2 / (4.4 + 2.0 )= 0.19
