Estimates from consultants INTL FCStone indicate that Brazil’s first 2019/20 corn crop will be 3.4% lower than expected, reaching 25.75 million tons following a below-average crop in Rio Grande do Sul due to hot weather and low rainfall.
The forecast of the Rio Grande do Sul corn crop fell 20% compared to the previous forecast and is now estimated at 4.8 million tons.
The following graph, taken from from Datamar’s DataLiner data, shows corn exports per quarter since 2014:
