Australian sorghum is recovering from a poor 2016/17 season that saw prices hit historic lows and heat-damaged quality cut national output below 1 MMT. New-crop 2017/18 harvest-slot prices have risen steadily to around AUD 290-300/t, and cotton's pullback is expected to shift more acres into sorghum.
Firmer new-crop sorghum prices and expected acreage increases point to a larger supply for the 2018 season, which could temper prices later. Buyers should watch planting intentions against current price levels.
