In addition to the other horrors generated by the war, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia has destabilized commodity markets. Commodity prices incorporate a substantial risk premium due to the high chances of lower production and more supply chain disruptions.<\/p>\n<p>Distant conflicts can significantly affect our farms, ranches, and towns in this globalized and interconnected world. We were able to see this during those difficult months of the covid pandemic, and now we see it in the prices of supplies, commodities, and diesel that we pay every day.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we will focus on those variables affecting the grain market in the world. Considering the great uncertainty of this incomprehensible moment, we will analyze today&#8217;s market drivers. Primarily we will focus on the wheat, cotton, and beef-cattle market given the importance to our region.<\/p>\n<h3>Wheat<\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Both Russia and Ukraine are significant producers and exporters of wheat (Graph 1 and 2). In the last five years, Russia produced 10.3% of the world&#8217;s production (78 million tons, or 2,860 million bushels). Ukraine&#8217;s average production over the last five years was 3.7% of the world&#8217;s production (28 million metric tons, or 1,026 million bushels). Although Ukraine&#8217;s percentage of world production is not very large, its share of world exports is significantly essential. Ukraine&#8217;s exports have represented 10% of world exports in the last five years, while Russia&#8217;s share was 19%.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Graph 1.

This wheat is sown in the fall and harvested in early summer. In other words, most of the grain in Ukraine is already planted. Considering how difficult it is to solve the Russian invasion in the short term, we can expect lower wheat production in Ukraine in the best-case scenario. Wheat fields still have to be fertilized, managed, and harvested correctly. The lack of inputs and work capacity will indeed affect the production in Ukraine. In Russia, the case is different; since these areas are not in conflict, they can continue to be worked on correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Of the wheat areas in production this season, three regions have watch conditions.

Assuming a very conservative scenario, with a higher yield decline in the United States than last year (40 bu\/acre), a lower European wheat output, and a 50% Ukrainian wheat output, the world carryover could decline to 29%. This carryover projection considers the same global level of global consumption and that off-season wheat countries do not increase the planted area due to these high prices. This carryover is above the low levels from the 2008\/09 and 2011-2014 seasons. Assuming an extreme case with no wheat production from Ukraine, the carryover would be 27%, also above 2008\/09 values.

This last scenario will support prices.<\/p>\n<p>Commodity prices are incorporating a substantial risk premium due to the high chances of an increase in sanctions to Russia, an escalation of the conflict, lower production, and more supply chain disruptions, especially in the Black Sea region.
