Grain Market Outlook
Selling price differentials that often exist between grain sorghum and corn – impacting revenues from
each crop and potential differences in expected profitability. The issue of “relative profitability”
depends on the cropping system and land‐irrigation water availability situation being considered.
U.S. Grain Sorghum Production
Based on these assumptions about acreage and yields, this USDA forecast 2017 U.S. grain sorghum
production to be 371 million bushels (mb), down from 480 mb in 2016, the 18‐year high of 597 mb in 2015,
433 mb in 2014, and 392 mb in 2013 (Table 1 and Figure 4). This USDA projection of 2017 U.S. grain sorghum
production of 371 mb is estimated to have a 50% probability of occurring.

Two (2) alternative probability‐weighted KSU projections for “new crop” 2017 U.S. Grain Sorghum
Production include the following forecasts (Table 1a):
1) a 15% probability of 2017 U.S. planted acres of 5.468 ma, harvested acres of 4.850 ma, a grain sorghum
yield of 69.8 bu/ac & 2017 U.S. grain sorghum production of 339 mb.
2) a combined 35% probability of 2017 U.S. planted acres of 5.468 ma, harvested acres of 4.850 ma, a
grain sorghum yield of 75.0 bu/ac & 2017 U.S. grain sorghum production of 364 mb.

The Balassa‐Samuelson effect provides evidence that this is a common occurrence in explaining
differential economic growth. It argues that economic growth is associated more with increased
productivity in traded goods. When liberalization policies are being pursued, it is expected that the
price of non‐traded goods will rise relative to traded goods, leading to a rapid changes in the real
exchange rate. Indeed, it is the proportion of non‐traded goods in the basket of good consumed in
Ghana that allows the poverty line in Ghana to be so dramatically different from that in the U.S., say.
Effect of Exchange Rate on Poverty
From Equation (10), we noted that the larger the proportion of non‐traded goods in the basket of
consumed goods, the lower the rate of economic growth even when productivity in those non‐traded
goods increase. This is merely a result of the lack of arbitrage opportunities for those goods to exploit
the productivity gains.
Let us assess the potential effect of the exchange rate on the poverty level using consumption
expenditures given the foregoing analysis and using data collected from the study area in 2012 and are
described in Zereyesus et al. (2014).1 Consumption expenditures are defined to encompass
expenditures on four product categories: food; housing; durables; and non‐durables. Durables are
products lasting longer than a year, such as radios, bicycles and clothing. Non‐durables are defined by
