With an election on the horizon and a deteriorating economic environment, the Argentine grain sector will continued play centre stage over the medium term. With foreign reserves under pressure, grain exports (particularly soybean) will remain vital, but there is increasing evidence of hoarding, which could lead to clashes with the government over policy. Nonetheless, soybean will remain the pre-eminent crop in Argentina over the long term, and we expect the poultry production to show the most promise within the livestock complex. We have upgraded our pork production forecasts for 2014 owing to a change in historical data in previous years, although the country is likely to remain a net importer over the medium term. We see potential for a mild rebound in beef production, as sector fundamentals remain challenging despite a significant decrease in grain prices. The country's dairy sector shows relative promise, due to relatively high retail dairy prices and investment into the sector.

Also, we believe that tighter credit conditions and the petrol fuel price hikes have yet to fully feed through the economy and this is likely to adversely affect the Indonesian consumer.

As a result, the sales volume of packaged food increased in most major product categories,...
