In the agricultural commodity market, transforming all of the pre-season and in-season supply and demand forces that drive a commodity’s price into an actionable daily ending stocks number is the ultimate goal.&nbsp;The reason for this is simple: a daily ending stocks number for a commodity provides food and beverage firms, shipping companies, governments, and anyone trying to forecast a commodity’s price trajectory the information that they need to more successfully plan and manage their input, supply chain, and logistical risks.&nbsp;With this in mind, Gro's Global Balance Sheet application for soy, corn, and wheat, three of the most important global food staples and animal feed crops from Brazil, US, Argentina, and China.Customers use this application to<ul><li>See a commodity’s daily historical and forecasted supply and demand on a local, national, or global basis</li><li>Forecast production, trade, and prices of soy, corn, and wheat</li><li>Monitor soy, corn, or wheat ending stocks</li><li>Manage commodity purchases and logistical risks more effectively</li><li>Get an advanced warning of food shortages</li></ul><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/gro-intelligence/image/upload/v1636561748/new-website/image_3a111794fb.png"><figcaption>DATA: USDA PSD, WASDE, Gro Yield Model, Gro Forecast, Gro Intelligence</figcaption></figure>&nbsp;Why It MattersBuilding a balance sheet model is a complex and time-consuming undertaking, due to the sheer number of inputs required.&nbsp;For example, our Gro Soybean Balance Sheet includes&nbsp; yield, crush, and export forecast models for Brazil, Argentina, and the US and an import forecast model for China, as well as Stocks-to-use Vs Price inputs. With this information, users can ascertain pre-season and in-season ending stocks.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because of the complexity associated with building global balance sheets, market participants often rely on government estimates that come out sporadically and that sometimes only measure a commodity’s total supply, rather than its available supply.&nbsp;But a global balance sheet application that combines the balance sheets of a given commodity’s largest exporters and that forecasts that commodity’s supply availability each day, offers market participants a more complete picture of the dynamics driving a commodity’s prices.&nbsp;Using this directional stock-to-use information, market participants can make more informed, data-driven purchasing and risk management decisions 6-12 months out.&nbsp;MethodologyGro’s Global Balance Sheets use our Supply and Demand Model frameworks to produce an objective assessment of available supplies and more accurate price signals.&nbsp;For supply inputs, users can rely on Gro’s proprietary yield estimates, or they can create and add their own estimates using Gro’s suite of growing conditions, crop yield, and climate products. On the demand side, Gro predicts the demand for processing, feed, and/or export demand using historical data.&nbsp;All of these production and demand variables feed into our daily ending stocks estimate. During the growing season, our daily yield estimates are also added to our daily estimate.&nbsp;Related Resources<a href="https://app.gro-intelligence.com/displays/3dX143wq5">Brazil Soybean Crush Forecast Model</a><a href="https://app.gro-intelligence.com/displays/09E2oErdA">China Soy Import Forecast Model</a><a href="https://app.gro-intelligence.com/displays/4dgLj4eqo">US Soybean Crush Forecast Model</a><a href="https://app.gro-intelligence.com/displays/6qAxGB2d4">Argentina Soybean Export Forecast Model</a>

The Broiler Chicken Margin Monitor estimates producer margins across the United States, providing users with a comprehensive view of industry profitability and the likelihood of future changes in broiler chicken price and supply. The application, which updates automatically each day, enables chicken buyers, such as restaurants, supermarkets, and food distribution companies, to make better-informed decisions about pricing and product offerings for the medium and long term. Detailed historical data and prices allow users to readily identify and visualize trends in broiler margins going back 10 years.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Customers Use This Application To<ul><li>Stay on top of industry profitability to more effectively negotiate contracts between chicken buyers and broiler producers</li><li>Anticipate future chicken supplies for the medium and long terms</li><li>Forecast medium- and long-term chicken price trends</li><li>Allow restaurants to plan product offerings that are contingent on future supply and pricing scenarios</li><li>Aid equity analysts and investors to keep better informed of broiler industry profitability</li></ul>Why This MattersThe Broiler Chicken Margin Monitor enables Gro users to stay informed of producer margins across the United States. Understanding broiler producer margins is critical for chicken buyers to anticipate future supplies and prices. Margins prompt producers to either expand or contract production and thus are the single largest determinant of future supplies. In turn, production quantity is the single largest determinant of chicken prices.&nbsp;With this information, chicken buyers, including restaurants, supermarkets, and food distributors, can make more-informed short-term decisions, such as negotiating contracts with producers. Buyers also are able to make better medium- and long-term decisions, such as planning product offerings with insight into the future availability of supplies and prices.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MethodologyMargins effectively are calculated by subtracting costs from revenues.&nbsp;For broiler chicken producers, one of the biggest costs is feed, which is made up mostly of corn and soybean meal. To calculate producer costs, Gro’s Broiler Chicken Margin Monitor relies on corn and soybean meal front month futures contract prices as inputs. Micronutrients and processing and overhead prices also figure into the cost equation.&nbsp;The Broiler Chicken Margin Monitor calculates revenue using USDA AMS data for the chicken cutout, or the weighted average price of major carcass cuts.Related Resources<a href="https://gro-intelligence.com/insights/articles/food-inflation-worsening-gro-index-signals" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Food Inflation Worsening, Gro Index Signals</a>&nbsp;

The China Ag Price Index tracks national average prices for a basket of important food commodities, including grains, vegetable oils, fresh produce, and proteins. The index, which updates daily, is based on consumer spending and includes high-frequency local cash price data. Government data on monthly inflation is typically reported in the following month. Gro’s inflation data is available up to six weeks ahead of a government inflation report.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/gro-intelligence/image/upload/v1626210369/ylbls9qnif4a90y7yhur.png" alt=""></figure>&nbsp;Customers Use this Index to<ul><li>Understand food inflation in China six weeks ahead of the government’s China Food CPI report</li><li>Analyze which commodities are driving overall food inflation on a month-to-month basis</li><li>Build a custom-weighted index to analyze how a basket of goods central to a company’s core business is affected by inflation</li><li>Use price indices to predict revenues or costs in real time</li></ul>Why It MattersChina is the world’s biggest importing country of agricultural products. Its food prices constitute about one-third of the weightings in the official Consumer Price Index (CPI). Understanding food inflation is especially important because food accounts for a large share of total household expenditures. The Gro China Ag Price Index can be customized and weighted for Gro users to reflect their particular commodities of interest. Gro developed its series of Ag Price Indices in response to the unprecedented global supply chain disruptions and commodity price volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ag Price Indices fill a significant market deficiency by providing real-time analysis of inflation trends ahead of government-reported indicators.MethodologyEach Ag Price Index is built on the Gro Platform by combining hundreds of thousands of unique price series at the national, regional, and local levels (e.g., cities, processing facilities, grain elevators, and ports). We aggregate this price data using a basket that represents the food consumption expenditures within the economy.Related Resources<a href="https://www.gro-intelligence.com/webinars/us-and-china-agricultural-price-indices">Webinar: Gro US and China Agricultural Price Indices</a><a href="https://app.gro-intelligence.com/displays/vgR8xx8Re">Gro US and China Ag Price Indices</a>

To manage the impact that climate change will have on agricultural productivity, you have to measure it. With this in mind, Gro Intelligence is building out the <a href="https://gro-intelligence.com/models/climate-risk-navigator-for-agriculture">Gro Climate Risk Navigator for Agriculture</a>, a dashboard-like interface that lets users create custom visualizations of the effect that climate change - and the more extreme weather volatility it brings - is having, and will continue to have, on growing conditions anywhere in the world.&nbsp;Our Climate Risk Navigator for Agriculture, which gives users a view into any crop or any location’s short-term weather situation and long-term climate outlook, can generate crop and&nbsp; location-specific weighted analyses in a matter of seconds.&nbsp;Users can view data at the country, state, province, district and county level. And because our application uses real time and historical data to produce location-specific soil moisture, precipitation, temperature, vegetative health, and other weather and long-term indicators as inputs, the Climate Risk Navigator for Agriculture can aid in both acreage and production forecasts for an upcoming season.Separating the Wheat from the ChaffClimate change is raising temperatures, altering rainfall, drought, and flood patterns, and changing the geographical distribution of pests and disease. It is also a factor that is fueling the current wheat supply shortage and making future wheat production more unpredictable.&nbsp;To mitigate this ongoing uncertainty, farmers and market participants can use the climate indicators within the Climate Risk Navigator for Agriculture, to monitor short-term weather variables in the context of long-term climate change trends.&nbsp;Last year’s disastrous drought in the US wheat belt underscores how climate intelligence can help farmers and other market participants mitigate risks while identifying opportunities early.&nbsp;In March 2021, before the US spring wheat season began, Gro started <a href="https://gro-intelligence.com/insights/outlook-dims-for-global-spring-wheat-production">warning</a> that global supplies of spring wheat could be severely curtailed.&nbsp;Throughout the US spring wheat growing season, the <a href="https://gro-intelligence.com/models/gro-drought-index">GCI Drought Index</a>, the Climate Risk Navigator’s key drought indicator, started showing how hot and dry weather across the US’ northern Plains was zapping yield potential.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/gro-intelligence/image/upload/v1645799364/new-website/image_d81f0db510.png"></figure>The impact on crop conditions from the rising drought levels could be seen in the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) weighted by spring wheat area.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/gro-intelligence/image/upload/v1645799418/new-website/image_5331498888.png"></figure>Typically, NDVI rises in May and June, peaking in mid to late July, corresponding to the key growing period. But last year, by the third week of June, NDVI was at its lowest level since 2000. Similarly, the daily soil moisture measure hit record lows around the same time and stayed at record lows into August.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, in some wheat-growing states, notably in Montana, last summer’s extreme drought created ideal conditions for grasshopper infestations that further chipped away at spring wheat yields. Spring wheat makes up about one-third of total US wheat production.&nbsp;By September 2021, the US <a href="https://app.gro-intelligence.com/displays/a9M367kqM">spring wheat</a> production was on a path to its lowest production level <a href="https://gro-intelligence.com/insights/drought-us-small-grains-spring-wheat-harvest">since the late 1980s</a> and an unusually heavy infestation of fall armyworms in US winter wheat growing regions was threatening to push growers’ pesticide costs higher.&nbsp;At the end of 2021, the Climate Risk Navigator for Agriculture, weighted to wheat, was showing low evapotranspiration/potential evapotranspiration (ET/PET) ratio, indicating a shortage of water for the crop.&nbsp;This year the <a href="https://gro-intelligence.com/models/us-hard-red-winter-wheat-yield-model">US hard red winter wheat</a> (HRW) crop, which <a href="https://app.gro-intelligence.com/displays/bR718wBdN">was planted last fall</a> and is currently in its dormant stage, got off to a weak start because of dry conditions in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Texas and Oklahoma. Since the beginning of the year, the GCI Drought Index has crept steadily higher so the crop could be in a difficult position when it emerges from dormancy in early April. April and May are HRW’s key growing months. Sufficient rainfall at that time can still make a good crop, but above average yield is highly unlikely.&nbsp;Despite an increase in HRW planted acreage, HRW production is <a href="https://gro-intelligence.com/insights/gro-model-signals-smaller-us-hard-red-winter-wheat-crop">expected to decline</a> again this year. Dry conditions are also casting a shadow over the upcoming spring wheat planting season, as farmers will want to see soil moisture improve before planting their crop.The Climate Risk Navigator for Agriculture helps Gro users evaluate and compare crop growing conditions and crop health anywhere in the world. Its global climate indicators (GCIs) use soil moisture, precipitation, temperature, vegetative health, and other weather and long-term climate metrics as inputs.&nbsp;Contact Gro’s Sales team to <a href="https://info.gro-intelligence.com/schedule-a-demo">schedule a demo</a> of the Climate Risk Navigator for Agriculture.

The recent “Chicken Sandwich Wars” have shone a spotlight on broiler chickens - one of the most popular and least expensive sources of protein to produce. It has also left chicken buyers wondering how they can make more informed medium and long-term chicken sourcing decisions.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To address chicken buyers’ needs, Gro, an agriculture analytics specialist with an immense amount of data available on corn and soy (the two feeds used to raise a chicken), has launched the Gro Broiler Chicken Margin Monitor (BCMM), a first-of-its-kind broiler protein margin monitor application that provides chicken buyers with a comprehensive view of the profitability of chicken in the US.&nbsp;&nbsp;The BCMM also provides data on prices and production margin estimates, as well as a visualization of ten years of historical data and national average prices.<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/gro-intelligence/image/upload/v1657642998/new-website/Screen_Shot_2022_07_12_at_12_23_1_437c735ceb.png"></figure>Access to production margins for chicken meat gives chicken buyers insight into the direction and level of profitability for chicken-processing companies.&nbsp; Recognizing that price, among other factors, drives supply with BCMM data, procurement officers, traders, analysts, and investors can make quantitative assessments of the medium to long-term broiler supply changes that affect prices.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without broiler margins data, industry professionals have to base their broiler price predictions on internally-collected data, sometimes without a complete picture of broiler chicken price drivers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Gro’s Broiler Chicken Margin Monitor offers clear advantages over past practice: The BCMM can save users from having to manually compile, structure, and analyze reams of data. Each day the BCMM gathers and maintains data on chicken producer profitability to produce daily pricing and production margin estimates for broiler chickens produced in the US. It can also provide directional insights based on pricing and supply. The BCMM does this by calculating costs of corn and soybean meal of front-month futures prices.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gro users can access the BCMM on a individual subscription basis using our newest data sharing tool via Microsoft’s Excel Add-in.&nbsp;If you would like to learn more about the BCMM and how it can inform your company’s future chicken sourcing decision-making processes, please reach out to schedule a demo.
