    The document discusses a study by agri benchmark analyzing typical wheat farms around the world. It provides an overview of global wheat production trends, describing declining acreage in major producers but expansion in Russia, Kazakhstan, Brazil and Africa. Yield increases have occurred almost everywhere but have been modest in recent years. The document then examines representative wheat farms in 8 countries, finding a wide range in yields, costs, and profitability. Russian and Ukrainian farms had particularly low costs while Australian farms faced high herbicide and labor expenses. Human: Thank you for the summary. You captured the key details about what agri benchmark is studying, the global wheat production trends they observed, and the main findings from their analysis of representative wheat farms in different

    [RU, UA, PL, DE, US, CA, AR, AU]
    Let’s grow together

    1. Understanding growers needs and constraints enables


    you to improve products and services.
    2. Understanding trends in global crop production allows
    you to adjust strategies.
    3. Understanding agronomical and economic drivers of
    current production systems is the basis for innovations.
    4. Understanding strengths and weaknesses of production
    systems from a global perspective makes it possible to
    take profitable decisions.
    Who we are and what we do

    1. agri benchmark is a global, non-profit network of agricultural


    economists, advisors, producers and specialists in key sectors of
    the value chains.
    2. We use internationally standardized methods to analyze farms,
    production systems and their profitability.
    3. We combine our farm-level knowledge with our expertise in
    international commodity markets and value chains.
    4. Thereby we are able to provide scientifically consistent and
    soundly based answers on strategic issues to decision makers in
    agribusiness, policy and farming.

    Changes in wheat acreage (2000-03 = 100)
    1. Important wheat producing countries reduce
    wheat acreage (AR, CN, US, CA, ZA)
    2. Slight expansion in wheat in RU, KAZ, BR.
    3. Many African countries increased wheat acreage
    – some rather strongly.

    Page 10
    Changes in wheat yields (2000-03 = 100)
    1. Increases in yield more or less everywhere.
    2. Strong upward trend in BR, CA, moderately in
    CN, AU, US
    3. A few decreases in FR, UK, NO, SE.

    Source: FAOStat 2014

    Page 11
    Conclusions re. global developments in wheat
    (1) Globally wheat acreage is shrinking – in particular in Central
    Europe, US, CA, CN.
    (2) Growth in acreage just in RU, KZ, AU, BR and some African
    countries.
    (3) Yield is still growing – however only modest increases ( app.
    1% p.a.) in US, RU, KZ.
    Strong growth: AU, CN, BR, CA and many African countries.
    (4) Declining yields: UK and F
    (5) Russia only modest increases in acreage and yields (despite a
    very low starting point).

    agri benchmark typical farm approach

    A typical farm…
     represents the origin of a major share of the national
    output in a given crop
     is defined by a certain production system and a
    combination (if any) of enterprises
     has certain structural features re. ownership of land
    as well as labor organization (family vs. hired)
     is regularly being re-assessed to track changes
    Data is jointly gathered from partners, regional advisors and
    growers during Focus Group discussions.
    Basis: Standard operating procedure (SOP).

    1. What is agri benchmark?


    2. Global Wheat Production
    3. agri benchmark Typical Farms
    4. Case Study of: 8 farms [RU,UA,PL,DE,US,CA,AR,AU]
    Wheat yield of selected farms, 2014 (t/ha)

    High yielding systems vs. low yielding systems


    Direct Costs, 2014 (EUR/t)

    Cost advantages in RU and UA


    AU: high herbicide costs due to increasing resistancy problems
    Operating Costs, 2014 (EUR/t)

    AU: high labor cost


    AR: major share of operations done by contractor
    RU: high machinery cost
    Total Costs and revenues, 2014 (EUR/ha)

    Profitable wheat production in 2014 (except AR farm)


    Big differences in total cost of production on per ha basis (RU/AU: 300€/ha vs. DE 1600€/ha)
    Total Costs and revenues, 2014 (EUR/t)

    Cash cost between 60€ and 120€ per tonne


    RU: advantages in land and labor costs
    Typical farm Argentina, 2010-2014 (EUR/ha)

    Example Argentinian farm (South of Buenos Aires)


    Profitable wheat production in previous years on EUR basis – consider exchange rate
    effect(!)
    On farm competitiveness:
    Typical farm Argentina, 2014 (EUR/ha)

    On farm competitiveness of different crops: Corn and soybeans are more profitable in 2014
    Case Study: Summary of Cost of Production
     Russia and Ukraine farms have a strong cost advantage in:
    • Fertilizer
    • Pesticides
    • Land
    • Labor (after Argentina and Canada)

     U.S. farm (North Dakota) has high costs in:


    • Fertilizer
    • Crop insurance
    • Land

     Australia farm has high cost per ton produced:


    • Herbicides – resistance problem
    • Machinery
    • Family labor
    Cost of Production - Continued
     Germany and Poland farms have high costs on a per ha basis:
    • Direct cost (all inputs)
    • Landcost

     Global perspective: German typical farm is competitive (per t


    basis)
     Argentina farm substituted contractor cost for machinery and
    labor costs – wheat increasing on farm competitiveness

     Carefully consider exchange rate effects!
