Скачать или смотреть Brazil's Record Corn Production: Weather, Market Dynamics, and Future Outlook

Brazil's corn production has hit a record high, driven by favorable weather conditions and expanding planted areas. The second corn crop, or 'safrinha', is the most significant, with market participants estimating over 115 million tonnes. This surpasses the previous record and is supported by strong domestic demand, particularly from the corn ethanol and animal feed sectors. The weather in key producing states like Mato Grosso and Paraná was ideal, leading to higher yields and expanded planting areas. However, exports are playing a secondary role due to high domestic demand and competitive pricing. The future outlook for Brazil's corn market is positive, with expectations of continued growth in domestic demand and expanding influence over price movements. However, external factors like US tariffs and Argentina's export policies can quickly shift market dynamics.
