US - The USDA has updated its World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE), a monthly proceeding that integrates new developments and data into the existing outlook for agriculture commodity markets, writes the Steiner Consulting Group.Changes in the hog and pork market were centered on the December 1 hog population estimates that came in above expectations. Pork production in 2017 is expected to be up 5 per cent from 2016, about 1 per cent more than had been expected a month ago in the prior WASDE forecast release. USDA views on poultry, egg and dairy output for 2017 showed small, insignificant changes.
