The supply and demand prospects for the four AMIS crops in 2017/18 remain positive. While recent movements in international prices portray a mixed picture, they reflect normal seasonal patterns for this time of the year. For maize, the final size of the US crop will factor heavily on international price movements. For the other crops, the eventual size of plantings will be a main determinant of price developments (i.e. winter wheat and secondary rice in the northern hemisphere and soybeans, along with maize, in South America).
