BPS data show 2026 dried shelled corn output in Gorontalo is forecast to fall 19.69% to 524.64 thousand tonnes, and some farmers in Boalemo reported crop failures.
Drought-driven output losses in a major corn province tighten local supply and support prices, but the lower official farm-gate price limits farmers' response. Impact on national feed prices is limited.
After 328 past bullish policy events, Corn moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.3%), and -0.2% over 20.
