  22. Grain prices will be higher and more volatile • The Black Sea region has become the world’s incremental supplier, and production in the region is inherently volatile due to weather (and politics can be volatile too). • China, India, Indonesia and Brazil have over 3 billion people and have economies growing at 6-10% • Accessing incremental acreage is difficult due to lack of infrastructure and a variety of governance issues (e.g. property rights). • Accelerating meat demand in developing markets is accelerating grain demand, at a time when productivity (yields) are decelerating globally. • The bottom line: we have moved from an environment of structural grain surplus to one of challenging demand growth. • The new normal: we believe prices will gravitate around cost of production, which is now near $5/bushel for corn and $12/bushel for soybeans.
