This is down 12 percent from the previous year’s record crop. Domestic corn prices have risen dramatically since March, putting pressure on pork and poultry producers. 2015/2016 milled rice production is estimated at 7.6 mmt a 10 percent decrease from the previous based on reduced area in the northeast region of Brazil.
