Monitoring EU Agri-Food Trade: Development until September 2017

September 2017: Agri-food trade balance with increasing surplus The value of EU agri-food exports in September 2017 kept its very high level, now at EUR 11.7 billion. With agri-food imports to the EU going down to a monthly value of EUR 8.8 billion, the trade balance further improved to a surplus of EUR 2.8 billion in September 2017. Highest increases in monthly export values (Sept 2017 compared to Sept 2016, EUR million) were recorded for the China (+146), Turkey (+45), Nigeria (+42) and Russia (+40). Monthly exports fell to the United Arab Emirates (-73), Vietnam (-65), Egypt (-44) and India (-41).

Extraction date for statistics: 13/11/2017

By sector, the highest export growth (EUR million) was achieved in raw hides, skins and furskins (+70), milk powders (+68) and cereals other than wheat and rice (+61). Vegetables exports dropped (EUR -54 million); so did exports of sugar (-49) and wheat (-42). The value of Sept 2017 agri-food imports compared to Sept 2016 increased most for EU imports from Ukraine and India, and to a lesser extent, Indonesia. The value of imports from the USA, Brazil, Ivory Coast and Ghana went down most. Major increases were seen in fatty acids and waxed, cereals (wheat and others) and vegetable oils. Imports of soya beans, cocoa beans and sugar are the ones decreasing most in value terms.

USA, Russia and Asian market top increases in EU agri-food exports

EU agri-food imports increasing, but at a slower pace than exports

For the 12-months period September 2016 to September 2017, EU agri-food exports reached a value of EUR 136.5 billion, corresponding to a sustained increase by almost 5 % in value terms compared to the same period one year ago.

Agri-food imports from third countries in the 12months period September 2016 to September 2017 accounted for over EUR 117 billion, i.e. an increase by 4 % compared to the same period one year ago. Nevertheless, driven by the stronger export performance, the export surplus for the 12-months period further consolidated to EUR 19.4 billion (+11 %).

Major gains in annual values have been achieved in agri-food exports to the USA (EUR +1.3 billion; +6%), Russia (EUR +0.8 billion; +15%) and several Asian markets: China (EUR +0.7 billion; +6%), Japan (EUR +0.7 billion; +12%) and Korea (EUR +0.6 billion; +26%). Further annual increases were recorded in agrifood exports to Switzerland (EUR +0.3 billion; +4 %) while increases of more than EUR 0.2 billion also took place in exports to the Philippines, Hong Kong, Australia and Ukraine in the last twelve-month period. Annual export values remain down for North African and Middle East destinations, in particular Saudi Arabia (EUR -0.6 billion; -12%), Egypt (EUR -0.4 billion; -22 %), Morocco (EUR -0.2 billion; -12 %) and Algeria (EUR -0.2 billion; -8 %). Agri-food exports to the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Tunisia as well as to Vietnam also went down over the last twelvemonth period. Wine (EUR +1.1 billion; +11 %) and milk powders (EUR +822 million; +23%)and infant food (EUR +802 million; +12 %) exports have been performing very well over the last twelve months. Export performance on a yearly basis also increased significantly by about EUR 500 million for pet food as well as for spirits and liqueurs. On the other hand, wheat and other cereals exports experienced the biggest drop in value terms on an annual basis (respectively EUR 1.8 billion; -30 % and EUR -0.5 billion; -22 %,). Only three other categories recorded notable losses (around EUR 0.1 billion) in export values over the last 12 months: fresh, chilled and dried vegetables; oilseeds other than soya beans; and malt.

Main origins for EU agri-food imports over the past 12 months remained Brazil (EUR 11.5 billion), the USA (EUR 11.2 billion), Argentina (EUR 5.7 billion) and China (EUR 5.3 billion), followed by Ukraine, Indonesia, Switzerland and Turkey, each accounting for between EUR 5.2 billion and EUR 4.5 billion. On the year-on-year basis, the value of agri-food imports from the top three import origins went down. Imports from Brazil (EUR -859 million or -7 %) decreased most, while Argentina and the United States (-2 %) limited the losses to about EUR -250 million. Some other key partners also experienced reductions both in absolute and relative terms, most notably Turkey (EUR -233 million; -5 %), Uruguay and Ghana. On the contrary, imports from Indonesia increased most significantly (EUR +1.1 billion; +27%). Over the 12 months period, EU import values for agri-food products also went up for Ukraine Australia India, Vietnam Colombia, Morocco, and China. Looking at product category, the highest increases in import values over the last twelve months were recorded for palm oil (EUR +1.2 billion; +22%), unroasted coffee and tea (EUR +864 million; +12 %), fatty acids (EUR +734 million; +47 %) and oilseeds other than soybean (EUR +666 million; +20 %). On the other hand, import values decreased in particular for soya beans (EUR -361 million; -7 %), wheat (EUR -240 million; -17 %), and cocoa beans(EUR -238 million;-5%). This monthly newsletter has included a new table in the annex, presenting the trade balance and its development by product category. The largest gains in net exports were achieved in wine, while the net exports reduced most for wheat and net imports increased most for palm oil over the last 12 months.
