2014-04-11

Brazil’s corn production had a considerable fallback if compared with last year. This occurred due the low prices of the cereal, that in many regions were below production cost. According to CONAB, Brazil will produce 75.2 million tons, a decrease of 8% compared to last season. However, is possible that the production happen to be lower than the forecasted value, considering that the mainly producers of second crop corn decreased their seed areas. It’s reported that the total planting area of corn in 2013/14 season is 15.127 million hectares.

The soybean field in South America is in its final phase of the cycle, while most of the producer countries already started the harvest, and others almost finished it. Brazil is forecast to harvest something around 85.4 million tons in this crop according to the Companhia Nacional de Abastecimento (CONAB). The projection in the crop’s beginning was that 90 million tons would be harvested, but the drought and high temperatures on the middle-south region of the country provoked considerable yield lost. The total planting area of soybean in 2013/14 season is 29.8 million hectares, according to data from CONAB.
