# 2024/25 Corn in Brazil 4.2% Planted vs. 7.5% Average

> AgRural reports 4.2% of southern Brazil's 2024/25 first corn crop was planted by late August, versus 7.5% a year earlier. Acreage in the south is expected to fall 3.5% due to low corn prices and potential low yields from La Niña. Brazil's 2023/24 safrinha was 94.2% harvested.

## Why it matters

A projected 3.5% drop in southern first-crop acreage, combined with La Niña yield risk, points to tighter corn supply later in the year. Low corn prices are the main reason for the reduced area.
