  5. Supply Slide provided by Mykel Taylor, School of Economic Sciences, WSU

  6. Supply Slide provided by Mykel Taylor, School of Economic Sciences, WSU

  7. Wheat Accounting • Ending stocks = production + imports - consumption - exports • Gives a good idea of the overall supply that will be carried over into the next marketing year Slide provided by Mykel Taylor, School of Economic Sciences, WSU

  8. US Ending Stocks Slide provided by Mykel Taylor, School of Economic Sciences, WSU

  9. Market Fundamentals • Supply • Demand

  10. Demand • Food consumption • Steady to increasing over past few decades • Livestock feed • High corn and soybean prices cause substitution among feed grains • Biofuels • Renewable fuels mandate: 30 billion gallons by 2022 Slide provided by Mykel Taylor, School of Economic Sciences, WSU

  11. Wheat Marketing • Some strategies for managing risk • Cross-hedge in futures market (SRW) • Forward contracting • Hedge-to-arrive (open basis) • Cash sales • Crop insurance (yield and revenue) Slide provided by Mykel Taylor, School of Economic Sciences, WSU

  12. Mexican Millers’ Demand for Quality and Consistency in Hard Red Winter WheatStudy done in the Spring 2007by R. Karina Gallardo

  13. Background Mexico • Increased hard wheat imports • Importance for U.S. Southern plains wheat producers • Concerns among Mexican buyers regarding quality issues consistency

  14. Background (cont.) • Wheat quality characteristics • Physical and end-use • Increasing interest for end-use quality characteristics • Not measure or not made publicly available • U.S. wheat marketing system • Premiums and discounts in wheat prices are based mainly on physical characteristics

  15. Background (cont.) • Evolution of international wheat markets • Less participation of State Trading Enterprises • Sophistication of milling and baking processes • More attention is given to quality issues in the buying decision making • Uncertainty in wheat quality is negatively impacting U.S. wheat exports

  16. Objective • To identify the value that Mexican millers place on the level and variability in selected hard red winter wheat attributes

  17. Methodology • Personal interviews with wheat milling companies in Mexico • 70% of the total Mexican wheat milling capacity • 80% of all the wheat imported into Mexico from U.S. CANIMOLT Mexican milling industry association

  18. Methodology (cont.) • Wheat attributes included in the survey • Test weight • Protein content • Falling number • Kernel diameter • Farinograph stability • P/L ratio

  19. Example of Survey Question

  20. WTP Results Mean-Variance

  21. Market Share Estimation

  22. Conclusions • Mexican millers’ concerns centered on quality attribute level rather than variability • Greatest WTP: Test weight, protein, and farinograph stability

  23. Implications • Wheat farmers • Listen to what your final customers have to say • Policy • To reduce variability direct contracting between farmers and overseas buyers
