US media: Russia wins US food competition

American newspaper The Wall Street Journal She came out with a material that talks about increasing food competition on the world market from Russia. WSJ writes that the reason for this trend was the weakening of the Russian ruble against the US dollar, and this automatically makes Russian food products more attractive to a whole range of foreign countries.

According to the American edition, the largest grain exporters Canada and the United States ceded their leadership to Russia. In the 2016 year, as the WSJ notes, Russia is ready to export over 23 million tons of grain, while the US is 21,8 million tons, and Canada is 20,5.

The newspaper quotes expert agricultural products in the New York branch of the company. Societe Generale SA Michael McDougal (translation RIA News):

If the currencies of the developing countries remain low, the US will lose a huge share of the export market, and in the meantime the Americans will start buying more and more foreign products themselves.

According to McDougal, the tendency to reduce the US food share on the world market is due to the expensive US dollar.
The same publication reports that the weak ruble has allowed Russia to enter new markets - for example, increase the volume of exports of agricultural products to Egypt.

That's why it falls - imported food is cheaper than our own. We are producing agricultural products, most of the costs are in cheap rubles, and for export we get expensive currency.

Export volume in 2014
metal products - $ 30 billion
arms and military equipment - $ 13,2 billion
fertilizers - $ 11 billion
machinery and equipment - $ 26 billion
passenger and freight transport services - $ 21 billion

construction work - $ 4,73 billion
telecommunications services - $ 1,7 billion
food products - $ 3,99 billion.

Separately comparative specific indicators of food dynamics for 2015

The share of exports (to non-CIS countries) of food products and raw materials for their production in the commodity structure of exports in January-July 2015 amounted to 3,2% (in January-July 2014 - 2,7%). Compared to January-July 2014 cost volumes of supply of these goods decreased on 18,4%. At the same time, physical volumes of supplies increased barley 2,4 times, milk and cream - 8,4%.

The share of exports (to the CIS countries) of food products and raw materials for their production in the commodity structure of exports in January-July 2015 amounted to 8,9% (in January-July 2014 - 7,1%). Compared to January-July 2014 decreased cost volumes of supply of these goods by 19,0%, physical - increased by 10,7%. In particular, the supply of pork increased 5,3 times, wheat 2,5 times, milk and cream - 53,1%, sunflower oil - 4,1%.

There is a tendency - to bite off Russian products cheaply, and even cheaper.
Something like this method of obtaining "expensive currency" does not cause delight!
Do you know how oil has fallen in price?
Do you know where in the country there is a gas station where you can refuel at 12-15 rubles per liter?

And where do we put it? In August last year (at the height of the sanctions), they invested 7.5 billion. dollars in US government bonds. But food in Russia for six months has risen in price by 30%, with unchanged or reduced salary. Who does "our" government work for?

In the Russian language there is a good saying - "Give your wife to your uncle - go to b ... your aunt yourself." The prices for grain in the domestic market have been lifted up almost on a par with the world ones, and then they talk about import substitution. Hypocritical twas ... and!

And therefore it is becoming more expensive that it is more profitable to drive grain abroad - there it is more expensive and for currency, but it is deficient in our country. Therefore, there was a decision to raise the price of grain in the country so that grain cartels would have an interest in selling grain inside Russia. Hence the rise in price of bread.

Wouldn't it be easier to oblige the grain union to sell a certain amount of grain at fixed prices within the state, and surplus for export?
And in the grain union, they are pursuing the policy of a husband acting as a pimp for his wife and daughter.

And from the fact that the country will sell more grain for export, for some reason I am sure that the "welfare" of the population will not improve.
Something like this, colleague, excuse me for "not patriotism."

There is nothing good about it. You need to sell the final products: cereals, pasta, flour. A lot of grain is required for the development of their livestock.

They sell flour, and quite a lot, especially to the CIS countries and China. With cereals, this does not really work out, and pasta is completely difficult.
Baking flour, pasta - for them grain of a different quality than feed for livestock. Feed grain pasta - pooh!

Official confirmation of the status of "raw materials appendage". Products on the domestic market are still getting more expensive. It's like with oil: it doesn't matter if the price of oil rises or falls, but gasoline still rises in price. We have such a country - incomprehensible to the mind.

Russia sells surpluses, while the raw materials appendage is exported regardless of domestic demand.
And finally explain to me why the domestic price of gasoline should depend on stock exchange prices of oil?

[zadorin1974]

Yes, because Felix, that is done almost all over the world. We have a corporate conspiracy. How can the production of petroleum products cost more than in Europe, where its delivery and processing are added to the price of the oil itself? the cost of electricity. You, for comparison, compare what and how the cost of fuel is laid in Russia and the United States. Another question is why the cost of electricity for foreign consumers is several times cheaper than for Russians?

Do they need taxes? Money to the budget? Salaries to workers?

[X Y Z]

For the most advanced, this has already been explained more than once. The share of the cost of oil in the price of gasoline is an insignificant part. The main components are taxes and excise taxes. And the biggest impact on the final price of gasoline is not the cost of oil, but inflation.

[Ingvar 72]

Taxes and excise taxes are calculated as a percentage of the price. Here is the answer.

Oil production is at its maximum, yes, but crude oil is poured into a gas tank. Oil refining is lame. It is uninteresting to show the real cost of an oil refinery; it’s better to get half or more profit. And there are few modern refineries in Russia so far.

However, I think that the goal of the American newspaper is not to express admiration for Russian grain exports. Rather, to form an opinion on the need for additional subsidies to their producers, on increasing import duties, etc. Everything is there for the sake of money. And while there is a confrontation with Russia, they will not spare dollars and Euros. But the trend is like, maybe the Westerners will really tear!

[Fat]

You are right, even if you do not take into account Russia. Previously, China was more often voiced, Russia here is just in the role of a "bogey". It is convenient to have the image of a competitor, or even an enemy, in order to take care of your own interests

[Mountain shooter]

Good news, right news. Russia has already fed itself, and what has not yet pulled up, pulls up very quickly. Expensive imports spur domestic demand "for their own", and the cheap ruble allows it to capture more and more new shares of the international market. Expensive imports "dry up" the sales of foreign cars - and ours can take advantage of the conjuncture. And so in many ways. Thanks to the sanctions and expensive imports. Russia can do everything on its own, not just pump oil.
