# Low Prices and High Costs Worry Corn Producers in Mato Grosso

> Farmers in Ipiranga do Norte, central Mato Grosso, report safrinha corn yields of 125-126 sacks per hectare, acceptable for the region. Spot corn prices of R$39-40 per sack, around $3.25-3.35 per bushel, along with high insecticide costs squeeze margins. Brazil's agriculture minister allowed soybean planting from September 1, 15 days earlier than before, so safrinha corn can be planted earlier.

## Why it matters

Low local prices and earlier planting support a larger 2024/25 safrinha corn crop, which is bearish for Brazilian corn prices and export competitiveness.
