USDA AGRICULTURAL PROJECTIONS TO 2019

By dana.bucur Comment Closed
Key Assumptions and Implications Major assumptions underlying the projections and selected implications include: Economic Growth • U.S. and world economic growth reflect a recovery from the global financial crisis and economic recession, with a transition back to steady economic gains. • Global economic growth is assumed to rebound to a 3.3-percent average growth rate for 2010-19. A resumption of high growth rates in emerging market countries, such as China and India, and a return to strong growth in other developing countries and countries of the former Soviet Union underpin this macroeconomic result. • The U.S. economy resumes growth at 2.5 percent in 2010 and 3.2 percent in 2011, followed by an average rate of 2.7 percent over the remainder of the projection period.

Farmland, whose $5,000bn value equates to about 7-10% of the value of world equity markets, could be worth 15-25% of share values by 2020. “By 2050, it is possible to argue that food producing land might have a superior value to all other asset classes,” Hardman analyst Doug Hawkins said, noting forecasts of rising global populations. “This land is feeding over 6bn people and is being pressed into feed a further 3bn by 2050.” The broker noted the growth of funds dedicated to investing in farmland, with Emergent Asset Management proposing to invest some $4bn...
