China June soybean imports seen at record 8.3 million T

Soybean imports in China, the world's biggest buyer, are expected to rise 63 percent on the month to a record 8.32 million tonnes in June. Delayed shipments, caused mainly by port congestion in Brazil, led to a 12.2 percent fall in soybean imports over the first five months of the year, and buyers are looking to replenish dwindling stockpiles. The huge import volume in June is likely to hurt crushing margins, and may trigger cancellations by Chinese crushers. (Source: Reuters)

Kharif sowing: Maharashtra makes steady progress

With the monsoon arriving on time in Maharashtra, sowing has been completed in about 20 per cent of the total cultivable area of 144 lakh hectares. Even the drought-prone Vidarbha region has received good rains and cotton is being planted on vast tracks of land, said a senior officer of the State Government. Since the beginning of the monsoon, the State has received 228 mm of rainfall, while the average rainfall in June is 128 mm. If the bounty continues, then the State could comfortably overcome the drought-like situation prevalent earlier. This kharif season, crops are expected to be planted over 135 lh. This includes sugarcane, which overall would cover about 144 lh across Maharashtra. In the Konkan region the rice bowl of Maharashtra nurseries are spread over 30,000 hectares.

Indian cotton prices likely to rise on demand, low supply

Cotton prices in India are likely to rise this week due to slack supplies in the local market amid good demand from yarn manufacturers though the progress of the monsoon, which would help sowing, is expected to limit the upside. Supplies have declined sharply in the domestic market as farmers are busy in the new planting season with just around 20,00025,000 bales coming into the market, traders said. Monsoon rains are progressing well so far but could ease soon after hitting 89 percent over averages in the week to June 19. Farmers have started sowing cotton and good progress of rains is seen accelerating sowing operations and improving yield, traders said. (Source: Google News)

Co-ops to supply PDS sugar to states

In a major transformation in the sugar procurement mechanism, 10 large sugar producing states are planning to enter into memoranda of understanding with local co-operative mills for buying sugar to distribute under the Public Distribution System (PDS). Seven others have already floated tenders and are in various stages of finalisation. States, therefore, are set to commence sugar procurement from the open market soon. Most states buying sugar for PDS from co-operatives mean that the window of state demand for sugar after decontrol for private mills is closed in those states. States will have to buy nearly 2.4 million tonnes of sugar in a year for PDS. The governments of large sugar producing states, including Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Karnataka have decided to procure the sweetener from co-operative sugar mills that are largely run by political heavyweights, directly or indirectly. Since these co-operative mills contribute around 40 per cent of Indias overall sugar output, procurement from them would suffice states requirements.

June rains crimp sugar output in Brazil by over 10 days

June rains have taken 10 days of harvest away from sugar and ethanol mills so far, and new showers expected in the main producing region this week will hold up crushing even more, local forecaster Somar said on Monday. The wet weather, which slowed harvesting and will drag down sugar and ethanol yields, provided some support for international sugar prices, traders said. Domestic ethanol prices have stabilized in the past weeks as Brazil, the world's largest exporter of sugar, enters the peak of cane harvest. While rain slowed production, large ethanol traders and producers have also been active buying the biofuel in the center-south and shipping it to the north and northeast markets, where drought has hurt output and left the local market under-supplied.

Edible oils market awaits palm oil export data

Good progress of monsoon rain in producing centres and bearish futures markets amid slack demand pulled down edible oil prices on Monday. Palm oil export data on Tuesday could provide further cues for the market, said an observer. Soyabean arrivals were about 1.25 lakh-1.30 lakh bags including 75,000-80,000 from Madhya Pradesh. Mustard seeds arrivals were 1.55 lakh-1.60 lakh bags and the prices were at Rs 3.1753,575. (Source: Business Line)

Analysts see CPO price jump in Ramadan

With or without the current haze situation enveloping Sumatra, Malaysia and Singapore, Ramadan period next month will serve as a near-term catalyst for crude palm oil (CPO) prices. Even without the current haze situation, CPO prices are still expected to pick up due to stocking up activities during Ramadan period. Muslims are expected to start fasting from July 9 till August 7 this year. Traditionally, the strong Middle East orders and rising local consumption will support the demand of palm oil. Data released by Malaysian Palm Oil Board also showed a decline in inventories last month to 1.8 million tonnes, indicating a recovery in prices. (Source: Factiva)

Chana
Chana futures traded on a flat note yesterday and settled 0.06% lower as good demand from the millers supported prices while good rains in the kharif pulses growing regions pressurized prices. Chana prices are sustaining above their MSP levels since past two weeks. Despite of good demand at such lower levels, sharp upside in the prices is capped mainly on account of higher production this season along with good progress of monsoon. Sowing of kharif pulses have commenced and 3.74 lakh hectares have st been covered as on 21 June compared to normal 1.22 lakh ha. Spillover effect of kharif pulses is capping sharp upside in chana prices. Sowing of kharif pulses was adversely impacted last year and was down by 16 percent due to deficient rains.

Demand supply scenario

Higher returns earned in 2012, coupled with a hike in minimum support prices (MSP), have helped expand overall chana acreage in 2012-13 season. Chana sowing in 2012-13 was 5.65% higher at 95.17 lakh ha compared to previous year. According to third advance Estimates released on 3 May 2013, Total pulses output for 2012-13 season has been pegged at 18 mn tn, up 5.76% compared to previous year. Out of the total pulses output, kharif output is estimated at 4.03% lower at 5.95 mn tn while rabi pulses output is pegged 9.25% higher at 12.05 mn tn compared with the final estimates of 2011-12. Chana output is pegged marginally lower to 8.49 mn tn compared with its second advance estimates of 8.57 million tonnes. However, chana output is expected to breach its 2010-11 record output of 8.2 mn tn in 2012-13. Erratic weather in M.P. lowered the yield.

Trade Scenario
According to IBIS, imports of chana in the month of April 2013 declined to 0.04 lakh metric tonnes compared to 0.11 lakh metric tonnes during the previous month. India imports Chana mainly from Australia and Canada and higher availability in these countries at comparatively cheaper rates is seen boosting imports of Chana to meet the domestic shortfall. In Australia, total chickpea production in 201213 is estimated to have increased to a record 713000 tones as compared with 485000.

Source: Telequote

Outlook
Chana may trade on a mixed note today. Good demand at lower levels coupled with declining arrivals may provide support to the prices. However, good rains and thereby, prospects of better kharif sowing may cap sharp upside in the prices in the short term. Seasonal pattern in chana indicates that prices generally bottom out in May when arrivals reach their peak, while they start recovering gradually June onwards with declining supply pressure. Thus, going forward downside seems to be limited as prices are near their MSP levels.

Soybean
Soybean continued to decline yesterday extending last weeks losses as sowing is progressing well across major growing belts amidst smooth progress of monsoon so far. The spot as well as the futures settled 1.32% and 1.7% lower respectively on Monday. In the domestic markets, planting of kharif oilseeds such as groundnut, sesame and castor has started in states such as Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Soybean sowing has also commenced with good monsoon over Maharashtra and MP. Monsoon has covered almost the entire country a month before the normal schedule. As per the Ministry of Agriculture, oilseeds sowing is completed under 8.13 lakh ha against normal 3.37 lakh ha. Groundnut was sown in 5.56 lakh ha against 2.21 lakh ha sown during the same period last year. Soybean was planted on 1.32 lakh ha, against 0.16 lakh ha last year. According to the 3rd advance estimates, Soybean output is pegged at 14.14 mn tonnes. IMDs forecasts of normal monsoon have raised hopes of better output next season too. International Markets CBOT soybean gained by 1.26% on Monday ahead of the planting intentions data to be released on Friday. Also, estimates of lower soybean stocks as on June 1 supported prices. However, favorable weather capped gains in the far month contracts. Price were on an upward trend since past few weeks as supplies are tight till the new crop arrives in the US and delayed planting will further delay harvesting adding to the already squeezed stocks. According to the latest USDA report, 85% planting is complete as against 98% last year and a five year average of 91%. The government is predicting record soybean yields this year despite intense spring showers that have delayed planting & damaged crops already in ground prevented farmers from sowing all of their seeds.

Refined Soy Oil
Refine soy oil July futures settled 0.41% lower on Monday tracking weak international markets. Broad sell off in commodities last week on concerns the U.S. Federal Reserve may phase out stimulus exerted downside pressure on the CBOT soy oil prices. Edible oil prices have gained in the domestic markets in the last 3-4 weeks on account of weak rupee which was making imports costlier. India meet 50-55 percent of its edible consumption through imports and thus rupee factor is a major determinant of edible oil prices. As per the data released by the Solvent Extractors' Association of India, imports of vegetable oils, including non-edible oils, rose 40.2% to 917,964 tn in May, after dropping for 3 months, mainly due to surge in palm oil imports. Monthly soy oil imports rose 2.7% as local supplies are almost exhausted before the new planting season for soybean. Edible oil stocks as on June 1, 2013 at various ports were estimated at 6.75 lakh tonnes and about 13 lakh tonnes are in the pipeline.

Crude Palm Oil

MCX CPO declined by 0.47% on Monday tracking weak KLCE Palm oil futures, which declined 1.52% as commodities tumbled on concern the U.S. Federal Reserve may phase out stimulus. However, a weak Rupee limited the downside.. Exports of Malaysian palm oil between June 1-25 were reported at 1,167,266 tn, up by 9.6% compared to 1,064,925 tn between May 125 as buyers stocked up for Ramadan that falls in July. Communal feasting during Ramadan drives up consumption of vegetable oil. India's refined palm oil imports hit a record high in May by jumping 47.5 percent from April. The world's top buyer of vegetable oils imported 373,837 tonnes of refined palm oil in May. The jump in refined palm oil purchases will raise the clamour for increasing import duties to protect local oilseed growers and refiners against cheaper supplies from major exporters Indonesia and Malaysia. But the Indian government is yet to pay any heed as inflation has only just reached comfortable levels. Import of RBD palmolein touched 3,73,837 tn in May 2013, highest in any single month since edible oil imports were allowed under OGL in 1994, the Solvent Extractors Association of India said.

However, output concerns supported prices at lower levels. The recent rains in the drought affected sugarcane areas in the Southern and Western parts of the country have eased damage concerns thereby exerting downside pressure on the prices.

Domestic Production and Exports

After producing surplus sugar in the current season, sugar output is expected to decline in 2013-14 season on account of lower plantings. According to ISMA, Indias Sugar production between October -April stood at 24.52 mn tn, lower by 3 percent during the same period last year.

Global Sugar Updates

ICE as well as Liffe Sugar futures continued to gain yesterday and settled 2.9% and 1.61% higher on Monday as heavy rains in Brazil have halted harvesting. Reports of continued showers this week may delay the crushing further. As per the local weather forecaster Somar, heavier than expected rains have halted cane harvesting for seven days for some mills across centersouth Brazil in June, the world's biggest sugar producing region. Prices have declined sharply over the past few months and touched three years low last week due to three back to back years of sugar surplus coupled with supplies from Brazil. Brazils cane industry association, Unica, projects main center-south sugar cane crop will produce a record 35.5 mn tn of sugar in the 2013/14 season, higher by 4.1% compared to 34.1 mn tn last year. However, Unica reported a fall in the output in the second half of May due to late rains in Brazil and a shift towards ethanol production.

Outlook
Sugar futures may trade with a negative bias today as the government will not increase the import duty. Good rains in the cane growing regions may also pressurize prices at higher levels. However, improvement in the international prices coupled with Ramadan demand as well as output concerns this season may support prices at lower levels.

Global Cotton Updates

ICE cotton declined 2.55% on Monday on account of long liquidation coupled with worries over demand from China. Rains in West Texas raised cotton crop prospects in top US cotton producing state. Prices were trading around the highest levels in three months during the last week as USDA lowered its forecast for cotton inventory in the US for upcoming season due to a lower-than-expected crop in Texas. Further, lower planting was also supporting an upside in the cotton prices. Plantings were reported at 95% v/s 88% last week, 5 year avg of 97%.

Technical Chart - Kapas

Outlook
Cotton is expected to trade with a positive bias today on account of thin supplies and good yarn demand. Weakness in the Indian rupee may also support prices. Higher cotton planting figures so far in the domestic markets and smooth progress of monsoon may however, cap sharp upside in the prices in the coming weeks.

Guar seed as well as Guar gum July Futures settled 1.72% and 1.92% lower respectively on Monday due to improvement in the sowing of the guar crop. However, slack supplies as farmers held back stocks on hopes of better prices supported prices at lower levels. Since the resumption of Guarseed and Guar gum contracts on the futures platform, prices are on a downward trend on account of host of factors like bumper summer harvest in Gujarat, smooth monsoon progress and expected higher sowing.

Monsoon and Sowing

IMD in its second long range forecast predicted monsoon in Northwest India to be 94 percent of the Long Period Average (LPA) The southwest monsoon has covered the entire country, four weeks ahead of schedule and the earliest on record. The major guar growing states in India are Rajasthan, Haryana, and Gujarat. Sowing in the irrigated areas takes place during early June while in the rain fed areas it starts with the onset of monsoon in July. Guarseed area increased significantly Last year. With favorable monsoon and higher returns acreage may remain higher in the coming season too.

Production and Exports

According to Rajasthan Farm Departments third advance estimates, Guarseed production stood at 20.23 lakh tonnes in 2012-13. Although production is higher compared to the previous year, but still it is much below the initial expectations on account of erratic monsoon last year. In the coming season, higher sowing along with timely rains may boost guar production across India. However, if rains turn truant in the major guar growing areas, then this may adversely impact output. Exports which touched record 7.07 lakh tonnes in the FY 2011-12, declined in the FY 2012-13 as US, the largest importer of Guar gum has stocked huge inventories. During the FY 2012-13, guar gum exports stood at 4.58 lakh tonnes during April 2012-February 2013. US has stocked

Outlook
A prediction of below normal rains in Northwest India may support an upside in the prices in the near term. However, it is too early to predict the same as monsoon progress so far is smooth. Further, supply side fundamentals remain strong to cater the domestic and overseas demand thus exerting pressure on the prices at higher levels. good sowing may also add to the downside pressure.
