Brazil Forecast to be a Net Corn Exporter in 2000/01

Brazil is forecast to export 800,000 tons in the October-September 2000/01 year, making it a net exporter for the first time since 1982/83. An expected surge in production of nearly 18% has created a short term exportable surplus. However, bottlenecks at major ports could limit corn shipments over the next month as soybeans are really the priority export crop. Brazil recently made a large sale to the EU because it could supply approved varieties at a discounted price when Argentina was sold out. In addition, it has won a small share of other markets in which varieties approved for all uses are preferred.
