Overview

With the peanut planting season still ongoing, at about 90-95% done, there is a belief that the area will increase from 10% to 15% compared to last year’s.

Growers and exporters are expressing growing concern as heat waves in October and November have disrupted and interrupted plantings, pushing the completion of planting activities into early December.

Market prospects for selling remaining peanut stocks have become challenging due to significantly lower offers from China and India to Russia, together with a limited domestic market demand.

Despite these unfavorable conditions, peanut farmers are still asking for considerably high prices for their stocks of inshells, at about 22,4 USD per 25 KG bag (0,9 USD/KG).

On the export side, October figures show a decrease for both grain and oil exports compared to last month and to October 22.

October 25.150 30.057 -16,33%
Total 248.220 236.343 5,03%

The numbers seem to be inverted when comparing this year’s exports to last year’s. The continuous decrease in the last two months might be explained by the decreasing demand in Russia, that is being supplied by China and India, although we shall see that more clearly in the next months numbers.

There was a decrease of 5,5% compared to September 23 and 16,32% compared to October 22. This amount to 248K tons exported in 2023, against 236K in 2022 a 5% increase.

October 8.333 4.025 5.271
Total 69.594 60.977 44.876

Unless the farmer’s stock decreases, I believe it will be very hard for the exporters to turn tables and be able to compete with the Chinese and Indian offers to Russia.

It seems obvious that China and India can’t supply all demand, especially because many importers prefer Brazilian peanuts’ characteristics, however, they can certainly grab a good part of it.

Exports to Algeria and EU27 have decreased, but the decrease in the EU27 certainly has a relationship with a decrease of exports to Riga and Tallin. 

Peanut Oil

Peanut Oil export in 2023 x 2022

Month 2023 - (Tons) 2022 - (Tons) Var (%)
Jan 7.298 5.301 37,68%
Feb 4.092 5.852 -30,08%
March 7.439 7.359 1,08%
April 12.746 13.023 -2,12%
May 9.706 12.045 -19,42%

Oct 5.544 14.023 -60,46%
Total 75.186 111.618 -32,64%

After a slight increase in September, peanut oil exports fell back to August levels, a decrease of incredible 60% compared to 22 October. This sums up to 75K tons exported this year, a 32% decrease, when compared to the same period last year.

Exported volumes to main destinations so far:

Month China - MTs Italy - MTs
Jan 5.203 2.094
Feb 3.649 433

By looking at the destinations, it’s clear to see that the only responsible for the decrease compared to last month is China’s imports, as Italy imports remained incredibly steady.

Hope the report is useful to you.

Com o problema da estiagem sobre a Safra do amendoim, Abex-BR pede auxílio ao Governador de SP
Por Alessandra Mota 24 de abril de 2024
ABEX-BR NA MÍDIA Veja o que diz Luiz Antônio Vizeu, coordenador do Núcleo de Promoção e Pesquisa (NPP) da Abex-Br , em entrevista ao Canal AgroMais, sobre os efeitos do El Nino na safra 2024 do amendoim brasileiro.

Caro leitor, não tivemos um relatório de fevereiro, devido a ajustes nas datas de publicação para estarmos mais atualizados com as informações de exportação. Outro detalhe, como temos pouquíssimas informações sobre exportações em 2024, vou analisar abaixo as exportações do ano-safra. Visão geral Desde meados de fevereiro, a colheita começou na maioria das regiões, embora com volumes muito modestos. Os primeiros plantios, que suportaram períodos prolongados de seca, têm apresentado resultados decepcionantes em termos de produtividade e qualidade, particularmente no que diz respeito aos níveis de aflatoxinas. Áreas como Médio Tietê e Alta Paulista parecem ter se saído pior que a Mogiana, embora o desempenho deste também não tenha sido bom. As chuvas recentes complicaram o processo de colheita para os primeiros produtores, mas trouxeram alívio para os produtores tardios que ainda aguardam a maturação e precisam de umidade. É amplamente aceito que a maior parte da colheita, cerca de 80%, ocorrerá em março e abril, oferecendo uma imagem mais clara do resultado real da safra. Com indícios de uma safra abaixo da média, os produtores têm resistido a reduzir os preços da matéria-prima, contrariando as expectativas entre os beneficiadores no início da safra. Isso tem levantado preocupações, especialmente considerando a relutância da Rússia em atender aos preços que permitiriam aos exportadores adquirir a matéria-prima, dada sua parcela significativa das exportações brasileiras. O mercado da UE apresenta uma perspectiva mais promissora, uma vez que os exportadores são capazes de obter preços consideravelmente mais elevados, especialmente durante os períodos em que a Argentina a, a dificuldade aqui para os exportadores é encontrar matéria-prima com a qualidade necessária para a UE. Finalmente, a viabilidade do mercado de óleo de amendoim permanece limitada por preços persistentemente baixos, limitando seu potencial como um consumidor significativo de matéria-prima, como observado no passado. Espero que esta informação seja útil para você. Atenciosamente.

Dear reader, We haven’t had a February report, due to adjustment in dates of publishing in order to be more updated with the export information. Another detail, as we have very few information on exports in 2024, I will analyze below the exports of the crop year. Overview Since mid-February, harvesting has commenced in most regions, although with very modest volumes. Early plantings, which endured prolonged periods of drought, have yielded disappointing results in terms of both productivity and quality, particularly concerning aflatoxin levels. Areas like Middle Tiete and Alta Paulista appear to have fared worse than Mogiana, although this one’s performance was not good either. Recent rainfall has complicated the harvesting process for early growers but brought relief to late growers still awaiting maturation and requiring moisture. It's widely agreed that the bulk of the harvest, roughly 80%, will occur in March and April, offering a clearer picture of the crop's actual outcome. With indications of a subpar crop, growers have resisted reducing raw material prices, contrary to expectations among shellers at the beginning of the crop. This has raised concerns, especially considering Russia's reluctance to meet prices that would enable shellers to procure the raw material, given its significant share of Brazilian exports. The EU market presents a more promising prospect, as shellers are able to command considerably higher prices, particularly during periods when Argentina will not be able to supply yet, the difficulty here for the exporters is finding raw material with the needed quality to the EU. Finally, the viability of the peanut oil market remains constrained by persistently low prices, limiting its potential as a significant consumer of raw material, as observed in the past. Tables, charts and analyzes below. I hope this information is useful for you. Best regards,

Overview With the final stages of the crop incoming, Mogiana region has had 20 days of good weather and don’t expect to see any huge drop in productivity compared to last crop. A 10-15% drop is mentioned as possible, besides more problems with aflatoxin compared to last year, all this due to the dry and high temperature periods in the early stages. Recent reports from Alta Paulista show that the situation there has improved with the latest rains, the peanuts planted earlier will suffer more, but the ones delayed will not suffer so much. December figures expose a considerable decrease in peanut exports, already expected as stocks grow shorter. Besides an 14% increase in oil exports. Tables, charts and analyzes below:
