Wheat: Standard mill quality : DelhiDespite high domestic demand the prices are not getting sufficient

strength to move up as a result of sufficient availability of the

grains in the domestic market as a result of higher production and

regular imports. The chances of any sharp spike in the prices in the

near term are minimal. Nearby resistance band is seen at Rs 1800.

We hold our last week’s view that the wheat prices will expectedly

trade around the current levels only in the coming weeks and as

the imports starts to come in it might moderate towards the

support of Rs 1735. Major support is seen around Rs 1720.

Outlook: Prices will trade with sideways undertone around the current levels only.

• Seven ships carrying 0.3 mn tonnes of milling wheat with 11.5 percent

protein are expected to load this month in Ukraine for India. The wheat

will be delivered to India in September-October.

• Trade sources are of the view that an import of 3 mn tonnes of wheat

would be needed this year on top a bumper harvest of an estimated

97.44 mn tonnes of wheat in 2017 against 92.3 mn tonnes in 2015-16.

• Low production in 2015-16 had drained India of badly of its wheat stocks

and the government resorted to heavy procurement this season to build

back its stocks which had limited availability in open market.

• In Rabi Marketing Season 2017-18, a total of 30.824 mn tonnes of wheat was procured against 22.962 mn tonnes in RMS 2016-17. The wheat

stock available in central pool is 32.275 mn tonnes as on 1 July 2017 against 30.181 mn tonnes in July 2016 and the buffer norms including

strategic reserves of 27.580 mn tonnes 1st July. A recent CAG report on how FCI functioned in 2015-16 has stated that substantial quantity of

food grain was lying in open areas with the state government and 0.47 mn tonnes of wheat worth Rs 700.30 crore deteriorated and was

declared as non-issuable to Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS).

• Currently, even as the domestic demand and offtake by mills is high, offloading of positions by traders, driven by sufficient stocks position on

increased supplies from producing belts in the physical market is keeping the prices under check as of now.

• India’s wheat exports in 2016-17 fell to 0.4 mn tonnes from 3.4 mn tonnes in 2014-15. This year the exports are expected at 0.5 mn tonnes.

Wheat imports in 2016-17 on other hand touched 6 mn tonnes against 0.4 mn tonnes in 2015-16. Imports this year are expected at 3 mn tonnes.

• The latest IGC report has estimated 2017-18 world’s wheat production at 731.9 mn tonnes against 754.2 mn tonnes last year. The decline was

driven by the United States & Australia. Hot and dry weather is expected to driven down yields of U.S. hard red spring wheat significantly.

• Australia’s 2017-18 wheat production is pegged at 22.8 mn tonnes against 35.1 mn tonnes in previous year, as a result of which the prices would

not be competitive enough for India to high quality import from here. The black sea harvest this month however are expected to soften prices

for coming months as India imports from here.

• India's non-basmati rice exports are likely to slow over the next few months

as its shipments of the grain have become too expensive on the world

market due to a rally in the rupee and an increase in local paddy prices.

• In India, local paddy & rice prices are currently firm as most of the supplies

from the winter crop have already been consumed. Until new summer crops

enter into the market from October, paddy supply will remain tight

• Meanwhile the rupee has risen more than 6.5% so far in 2017, reaching its

highest in more than two years as a result of which Indian exporters are

offering 5% broken parboiled rice around $410 a tonne, free-on-board (FOB)

from Kakinada port. In comparison, Thai rice was offered at between $390

and $392 a tonne, and Vietnam rice was quoted at $400 to $405 a tonne.

• Barring the southern states, paddy transplantation got a boost with the country as a whole receiving good rains. Area sown was 320.29 lakh ha

as on 11 August 2017, 2% higher than 314.01 lakh ha sown last year till same date and 7.26% higher than normal till date. However lower rainfall in

southern states has raised concerns over the harvest and has particularly affected the area under paddy in Andhra Pradesh.

• As on 10 August 2017, rice procurement was 38.728 mn tonnes in the ongoing 2016-17 marketing season (Oct-Sep), significantly exceeding the

target of 33 mn tonnes set for this year. Further, the government has fixed the rice procurement target at 37.5 mn tonnes for the 2017-18

marketing season on hopes of good production. The stoks in July were 21.044 mn tonnes against buffer norm of 11.540 mn tonnes.

• India’s 2016-17 paddy production is estimated at a record high of 109.15 mn tonnes, up 4.5% from last year’s 104.41 mn tonnes. As per APEDA,

India exported around 4.005 mn tonnes of basmati rice worth $3.15 billion in the last fiscal of 2016-17, against 4.0458 mn tonnes in 2015-16. Till

April 2017, 0.389 mn tonnes basmati has been exported. The non-basmati exports suffered a major setback in 2015-16 falling by 23% and could

not recover significantly from those levels in 2016-17.

• According to the latest IGC report, World rice stocks are projected to tighten in 2017/18 on a contraction of stocks of major exporters. Tied to

area growth in Asia, notably in Thailand and India, 2017/18 output could edge up to 486 mn tonnes from 484 mn tonnes in 2016-17.

• Overall fundamental score of 3 shows consolidation in prices paddy prices.

Record production last year and higher sowing as compared to last

year is keeping the sentiments dampened. However reports of

unfavourable weather in the southern states can somewhat limit

the downside. Furthermore appreciation in Indian rupee and

sluggish export demand is also weighing on the prices. The prices

are expected to decline initially towards Rs 2725 which can act as a

near term floor. A crack of that level will lead to the further declines

towards Rs 2670. Chances of any immediate recovery from here on

are bleak however the chances of prices recovery will emerge on a

break of Rs 3000.

Updates about unsupportive weather conditions in Australia has

send jitters in the chana market and supported the price over the

last couple of weeks. In the days ahead a lot will depend on what

is happening to expected Australian production. Indian Chana

prices are seen trading in a range since March. The upper band of

that range stands at Rs 5940 and with current supportive

fundamentals the prices are expected to move closer to that in the

coming weeks. The prices have recently tested the lower band at

Rs 4910 and have seemingly formed a floor around that level and

will not breach that level easily in the near future.

• Hot and dry weather in Australia might affect the yield of the standing

chickpea crop. Unfavourable weather conditions in Australia has pushed

the forward export quotes.

• According to the Australian Bureau of Agricultural & Resource

Economics & Sciences, Australia chickpea production estimate has been

reduced by 24 percent to 1.416 million tonnes from 1.854 million tonnes

last year. Lower production estimate is due to unfavourable weather

condition which might affect the yield. Lower Australian chana

production estimate may have a slightly bullish impact on the prices.

Australian chickpea of October- November delivery is being offered at Rs 4900 per quintal at Mumbai port.

• Buffer stock of chana with government may not let prices to take sharp northward movement. Till 05th August, Nafed had procured around

59.71 thousand tonnes of chana from farmers of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh for buffer stock.

• Demand of chana from millers supported the prices in the domestic market. Domestic demand is expected to increase in the coming days

due to festive season which might support the chana prices.

• Stockiest are holding chana stocks in expectation of getting higher prices in the coming days. Traders and millers have started taking

position in futures taking clue from irregular weather condition in Australia.

• India’s chana production estimate has been decreased by 0.43% to 9.08 million tonnes in third advance estimates as against second advance

estimate of 9.12 million tonnes for 2016-17. However, trade sources are estimating 8.3-8.5 million tonnes of chana this year. Last year chana

production estimate was 7.06 million tonnes. Higher production estimate compared to last year may have slightly bearish impact on the

prices.

Recently imposed restriction on import quantity of Tur may prove

to be a supportive factor for the prices in the days to come. The

prices are trading sluggish since 5 months and have been hovering

within the range of Rs 3450 to 4100. However with the

government’s effort to support prices some positivity in seen

emerging. We expect the prices to move towards the next

resistance of Rs 4550 and a sustainable crack of it will infuse

further positivity in the prices. A move beyond Rs 4550 will push

prices higher towards the next resistance mark of Rs 4700.

IMPORTANT LEVELS

• India has restricted import quantity of tur up to 2 lakh MT. In the

fiscal year running from April to March traders can import no more

than 2 lakh MT. The decision will help to improve the domestic

prices of tur which was trading below MSP. At present import duty

on tur is 10 per cent.

• According to the trade sources, Burma Lemon Tur FAQ is trading in

the range of Rs 3825-3900 per quintal at Mumbai port as on 08th

August.

• As of 11th August 2017, all India Kharif tur sowing is reported at 39.91 lakh hectares which is around 18.68s percent lower than the same time last

year of 49.08 lakh hectares. Sowing coverage has decreased as farmers have not received good realization in tur last year. Lower area coverage

may have bullish impact on the prices.

• Market participants are demanding to remove ban on export on pulses to improve domestic prices which have fallen sharply because of

abundant supplies. Opening of export may push the domestic market upward.

• NAFED is planning to launch an e-auction platform to disposing the buffer stock of pulses. The portal would also facilitate sale and purchase of

various agricultural commodities including pulses by registered traders who would bid for the prices through an open auction system.

Disposing of buffesr stock may have slightly bearish impact on the prices.

• India tur production estimate has slightly increased by 8.74 percent to 4.60 MMT in third advance estimate as against second advance estimate

of 4.23 MMT for 2016-17. Last year tur production estimate was 2.56 MMT. Higher production estimate as compare to last year may have a

After the sharp surge in the guar seed and guargum prices over the

past couple of weeks the prices have become vulnerable to

correction on account of profit booking. However the factors like

strength in crude oil and crop loss expectation are still supportive

for the prices. We expect the uptick in the prices to extend further

towards the next important resistance zone of Rs 3800-3890 where

the prices may loose some steam and correct. However if prices

manage to surpass Rs 3890 mark and hold above it we might see

fresh buying momentum in guar prices pushing it even highr

towards Rs 4050 mark.

• Market participants are cautious to procure Guar seed at higher rates as

sowing is in progress with present numbers are very good, however total

acreage details will be available only by month-end, which will give some

good idea about the next crop production. The recent crop damage

concerns from floods in Rajasthan may prevent decline in rates as overall

GUAR SEED

• There are many positive factors for the Guarseed/Guargum, but ample stocks in the country has kept prices in check. Good monsoon can led

to sharp fall in prices due to prospects of higher production.

• As per the latest report by Department of Agriculture Rajasthan, Guar seed acreage increased to 2406.6 thousand hectares as against 1591.3

thousand hectares during same period last year. The target for Kharif 2017 is set at 3800 thousand hectares. Similarly, Guar acreage in Gujarat

as on 31st July 2017 stood at 161200 hectares compared to 88400 hectares same period last year. Area of Guar is expected to be lower this

season due to recent crop loss. The last three year average normal area for guar seed in Gujarat is 292400 hectares.

• As per the Department of Agriculture Rajasthan Guar seed production in 2016-17 was estimated at 14.25 lakh tonnes as against 22.23 lakh

tonnes in 2015-16. The fall in production was mainly due to lower area cropped as farmers opted for pulses and oilseed.

• According to APEDA, India's Guar gum exports during the fist three months (Apr-June) of current FY 2017-18 rose to 145,775 metric tonnes

against 77,174 metric tonnes a year ago. Guar exports are good from overseas market and expected to remain on the higher side.

• Guar seed stock at NCDEX warehouses as on 10th August declined significantly at 13,274 tonnes as against 20,554 tonnes same period last year.

• Overall fundamental score of 3.15 indicates that Guar seed prices will be consolidating with slightly positive tone.

CARDAMOM

Prices have traded under strong influence of bears since hitting

the highs of Rs 1550 during January this year. Prices were weighed

down further on early onset of monsoon raising expectation of

higher production. However prices rebounded from close vicinity

of its strong support level of around Rs900. Recovery was also

underpinned by the poor rains in the key growing regions. Looking

ahead we can expect the recovery to continue in the prices

pushing it higher towards the immediate resistance zone of Rs

1270 in the weeks to come. On the other side Rs1095- Rs1010 is a

strong support zone which will prevent prices from falling further.

IMPORTANT LEVELS

S2 S1 CMP R1 R2

1010 1095 1182 1220 1270

Outlook: Prices will show positive movement towards Rs 1270.

• Good pre-monsoon showers had earlier indicated a bumper crop, pulling prices down to Rs 800 per kg level. However, the flowering was good

but the conversion to fruit was less as monsoon rains were not as intense as expected.

• With the festive season beginning next month, the demand from northern states has picked up, leading to an increase in prices. GST has

facilitated the flow of the commodity to the north Indian markets. The domestic sales could see an upswing.

• According to the traders, the season began with virtually no carryover stocks due to robust domestic and overseas demand.

• Although the cardamom exports in 2016-17 showed a drop by 31.7% and were 4630 tonnes in 2016-17 against 6100 tonnes in 2015-16, India was

able to command a better price in the global market till the entry of Guatemala, the largest producer of the spice, the value showed just 6 per

cent drop at Rs 421 crore.

• The decline in exports could be attributed to the rise in the price of the commodity due to a fall in total production in the last crop. Besides,

non-availability of exportable grade material at affordable prices has aided a fall in export demand,

• Currently the exports have slowed down as traders are waiting for more arrivals to reach the market.

• Overall score of 3.2 shows mild bullishness in cardamom prices till the harvests hit the market in full swing and there is a clearer idea of the

quatity of output this season.

India’s cardamom production in 2016-17 at 27000 tonnes against 24000

tonnes in 2015-16 and area sown at 84000 ha against 86000 ha in 2015-16.

However the trade sources pegged the 2016-17 production much lower, at

below 20000 tonnes. The fundamental parameters indicate that the output

indeed was much less than the government numbers.

• The current harvest season has just begun, with poor rains in South

dampening the expectations of a good harvest. Cardamom may get costlier

this festive season as prices have rebounded after a drop, due to scanty

monsoon showers in Idukki in Kerala where it is mostly grown.
