Brazil: Grain and Feed Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   BR2024-0038
Corn prices in Brazil have been rising in recent months, driven by factors such as the increased prices in international markets and the devaluation of the Brazilian Real. As a result, corn production for MY 2024/25 (March 2025 – February 2026) is revised up to 128 MMT. Rice production is also expected to rise in 2024/25 due to the expansion of planted area, led by greater profitability from rice sales and improvements in yield. Meanwhile, Brazil experienced a substantial decline in the domestic wheat supply in 2023 and is not expected to recover this year, particularly due to a significant reduction in production in Paraná. Consequently, Post increased its forecast for wheat imports for MY 2024/25 (October 2024 – September 2025) to 6 MMT.
