COLUMN-DDGS KEEP ETHANOL PRODUCERS IN THE GREEN, BARELY: MAGUIRE
CHICAGO, February 3 (Reuters) - Surging corn values have shunted spot ethanol producer margins into the red for the first time on record, and inventories of the alternative fuel have recently climbed to their highest level in more than five months.
Combined, these developments might suggest that ethanol manufacturers may be primed to dial down their recent record output pace. But thanks to sustained strength in the price of Distillers' Dried Grains (DDGs) -- a by-product of corn-based ethanol production -- as well as expectations for continued strong ethanol demand, producers remain content to churn out ethanol in record amounts.

U.S. BIODIESEL ON LIFE SUPPORT, BUT SMILING

But it will take months for the biodiesel industry to bounce back after being stranded last year, when the government let its six-year subsidy expire. Biodiesel production fell 20 percent in 2010 and was only half of 2008 output as plants across the country closed or slashed production.

China Lifts Farm Subsidies (Source: CME)
China's government outlined farm subsidies and other support aimed at encouraging grain production as the country braces for the possibility of a weak wheat crop that could further exacerbate a global food-inflation scare. The State Council, China's highest administrative organ, issued a 10-point plan pledging small amounts of cash to irrigate wheat fields, plant wheat and corn, and treat crop disease, as well as a $180 million fund to buy equipment and more than $1 billion for drought-alleviation works. Beijing also said it would raise a symbolic minimum purchase price for rice by almost 40%. The bulletin, following days of warning from Chinese bureaus about drought over northern parts of the county, and a special wheat-production alert Tuesday from the Rome-based United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, reflects growing anxiety around the world about food prices. As the measures are rooted in encouraging production, they may not have much effect in the short term.
The immediate risks were underscored by price gains on Wednesday of as much as 7% on wheat contracts traded in central China on the Zhengzhou Futures Exchange. Globally, wheat traders have bid prices higher in recent weeks on factors as disparate as protests in Egypt and snow in the midwestern U.S. A damaged Chinese crop would raise the likelihood that China would import more wheat, an uncomfortable proposition in Beijing where leaders in recent years have appeared to fail in efforts to achieve self-sufficiency in grain production. The effects of unexpected new demand from China for wheat would cause wide ripples, especially hitting the poor by driving up costs of flour for bread and noodles. China's rising demand for crude oil, which boosted crude prices, was a factor in encouraging cultivation of corn and sugar for biofuels, instead of food, that contributed to higher prices and food riots in 2008 from Bangladesh to Kenya. Social stability in China, too, always has depended on grain.
Much of the ritual in the ancient Chinese court revolved around ensuring a strong crop. During the 1950s and 1960s, exaggerated grain-production figures were published to please Mao Zedong. An ancient Chinese adage says, "Raise sons for old age, pile grain for times of famine." Yet, China's grain imports have expanded rapidly, undermining Beijing's long-running target of achieving 95% self-sufficiency in grains. China made its first sizable imports of U.S. corn in a decade during 2010 and in total bought 1.57 million metric tons on world markets, an 18-fold increase from 2009. Wheat imports expanded 36% in 2010 to 1.2 million tons, and China's rice imports grew 8.6% to 366,171 tons.

China To Spend Big To Combat Drought In North (Source: CME)
China has said it will spend nearly $1 billion to battle a drought plaguing huge areas of its north, as wheat prices continued their climb and the U.N. warned of serious consequences for the winter harvest. The drought is the worst in six decades in many areas, and has left a swathe of grain-producing regions reeling from a lack of any significant rainfall in more than three months. The government will spend at least CNY6 billion ($911 million) to divert water to affected areas, construct emergency wells and irrigation facilities, and take other measures, China's drought relief headquarters said. Wheat prices on the Zhengzhou commodity exchange in central China jumped nearly across the board on Wednesday, the exchange said. Prices of a key contract hit a "historic high" of CNY2,865 per ton on Tuesday, the Chinese finance website Hexun reported. The report didn't specify the contract to which the figure referred.
The spike in prices couldn't have come at a worse time for the government, which is struggling to cap soaring prices of food and other key goods. On Tuesday, the central bank announced the third interest rate hike in four months, one of a series of macro-economic levers it has pulled to tame inflation--which has a history of sparking unrest in China. The U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization, or FAO, warned in an alert issued Tuesday of the impact on the winter wheat crop, a key harvest for the world's biggest producer of the grain. "The ongoing drought is potentially a very serious problem," the Rome-based agency said. Eight major grain-producing provinces have been affected. The provinces together produce more than 80% of the country's winter wheat. The situation could worsen, the government has warned, with no significant rainfall expected in the near future.
The drought is the worst in 60 years in eastern China's Shandong province, the nation's second-biggest wheat producer, where rainfall in recent months has been 85% below normal.

Mielke sees world vegoil prices easing in 2011
PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb 9 (Reuters) - Global vegetable oil prices are likely to decline during 2011 due to improved palm oil production and easing of demand due to high prices, especially from the biodiesel sector, Thomas Mielke, editor of Oil World, said on Wednesday.
"We may have reached the highs or we may be close to the highs. There are several indications in this market where I would say on the demand side we have seen some adjustments which no longer justify these high oil prices in the medium term," Mielke told the Commodity Markets Council annual meeting.

Soy product futures climb, with soyoil soaring to 2 1/2 year highs. Soyoil advances were fueled by supportive USDA data projecting tighter stocks and higher exports. The USDA may still be a little conservative on soyoil shipments, as palm oil issues in Malaysia and Indonesia could shift demand to soyoil, Citigroup's Balletto says.
