April WASDE: Small Changes in Production

  • The WASDE has reduced the domestic sugar crops; this is likely to result in an adjustment of domestic demand. 
  • Alternatively, Mexico may be given a 38kmt allowance into the US market. 
  • Mexico still needs to export 1mmt to the world market. 

April WASDE Release  

  • The USDA has reduced domestic production in the latest WASDE release by 43k tonnes. 
  • We think that the USDA is more likely to reduce domestic demand (consumption) in future WASDE releases to restore stocks to the mandated 13.5% 
  • Therefore, we don’t expect an increase in imports to the US. 
  • Mexico, with their reduced access unlikely to increase, will need to export nearly 1mmt to the world market in 2019 to maintain normal domestic stocks. 
  • So far we have seen 105k tonnes shipped from Mexico to the world market in 2019 to Morocco and Azerbaijan (via Georgia) mostly.  
  • The need for exports and HFCS imports from the USA continues to be a problematic issue in Mexico with farmer demonstrations continuing.

Why SAF is the Best Tool to Reduce Net Carbon Emissions

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is the only realistic route for net carbon emissions to be reduced for air travel. However, the challenge for producers is now to upgrade the energy content of SAF feedstocks so they can compete with traditional alternatives.

SAF Supply and Demand Dynamics

  • There are a few well-established production pathways for SAF.
  • However, these come with their own benefits and disadvantages.
  • More pathways are being approved but scale is proving to be a challenge.
