Global grains and oilseeds market conditions
 The 2015/16 global grains and oilseeds ending stocks are estimated at 467 million tons - highest level in the past three seasons. This has been driven by a broad increase across commodities production. These increases come from different regions, namely North America, South America, Black Sea, Europe and Asia. Meanwhile, African countries continue to battle with the El Nino induced drought which has weighed on their grains and oilseeds production.
