39、9/20 corn exports are cut this month due to strong competition from South America and Ukraine that is curbing U.S.exports,despite high global corn trade.U.S.market share in the major corn importing countries has become highly dependent on the crop size in Brazil,Argentina,and Ukraine,as large crops
40、in those countries boost their price competitiveness and tend to limit U.S.exports.Even in traditional stable U.S.import markets,such as Japan,Korea,and Taiwan,where the United States used to reign as the top foreign supplier,it is losing market shares(fig.11).Figure 11:U.S.is losing dominance in S.

42、rvice Brazil,Argentina,and Ukraineare projected to have bumper harvests,combined with modest reduction in corn output in the United States.The pace of U.S.corn shipments in the beginning of the year has been sluggish and by the end of December accumulated exports lag 55 percent behind last year.At 4
43、.8 million tons,the census results for October-November 2019 are 30 percent lower than the 5-year average for these months.For December 2019,corn export inspections at 2.2 million tons stand at slightly more than half of what they were a year ago.Moreover,U.S.outstanding sales at the end of December
44、 not only lag behind the previous year,which was frontloaded,but are also the lowest since the drought year of 2012/13 for this time period.On the other hand,Brazil has been exporting corn at a record pace.The country is within 2 months of the end of its 2018/19 local marketing year(March-February),
45、and normally at this point its corn supplies are on the low end of the scale.Typically Brazilian corn exports decelerate in November,but in 2019 the country maintained a torrid pace of exports through December,exporting since March a total of 37.7 million tons of corn in 10 months,an average of almo
46、st 4.0 million tons a month.The fast pace of corn exports can be at least partly attributed to the slowdown of soybean exports that are competing for the countrys struggling transportation system.However,in coming months Brazils corn exports are expected to drop sharply,as highly profitable soybeans
47、 are currently being harvested and will soon be exported,thereby shifting port capacity use from corn to soybeans.Yet,when Brazil starts to harvest its second corn crop in July,roughly 75 percent of the total harvest corn exports are expected to surge again.The higher recent pace is boosting corn ex
48、ports by Brazil for the 2018/19 local(March-February)and the 2019/20 international trade(October-September)years,as both years include the bountiful months of October through December of 2019.Corn exports for the local 2018/19 marketing year are up 1.0 million tons to 42.0 million.Brazilian corn exp
49、orts for the 2019/20 trade year(TY)are also projected 1.0 million tons higher to 39.5 million.Ukraine has been rapidly exporting corn,pushing the projection up 0.5 million tons to a record of 30.5 million.An ongoing trend of declining feed and residual use as well as food,seed,and industrial use(FSI
50、)of corn in Ukraine frees additional supplies in this export-oriented country,which has recently boosted its port export capacity.With higher projected corn output and a healthy pace of sales,the European Union(EU)is expected to export an additional 0.4 million tons of the crop to reach 2.4 million.
