Emater-RS says drought will cut Rio Grande do Sul's soybean output 30% from earlier estimates to 15 million tonnes on 6.7 million hectares. The state's crop would be 17.4% below the prior season's 18.2 million tonnes, which already suffered flood losses.
A sharp southern Brazil soybean shortfall tightens domestic supply and supports soybean meal prices, although the national crop remains large.
