en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazilian consulting firm Safras & Mercado on Friday lowered its 2025/26 corn production forecast for the country to 139.94 million tons, slightly below the May estimate of 140.11 million tons. This figure indicates that the output of the world's third-largest corn producer will see a slight decline compared to the previous season (140.054 million tons).

Safras & Mercado consultant and analyst Paulo Molinari noted that the adjustment is mainly attributed to severe drought in some major producing states for the country's largest second-season corn crop. Molinari stated that dry weather in Goiás, Minas Gerais, and Tocantins has damaged yields, leading to a downward revision of the second-season corn harvest estimate. Meanwhile, Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná, Mato Grosso, Maranhão, and parts of São Paulo are expected to see a bumper corn harvest.

According to the latest estimates, the second-season corn harvest is expected to reach 98.98 million tons. The summer corn output for the 2025/26 season in the central-southern region remains at 25.62 million tons, higher than the 24.73 million tons in the 2024/25 season.
