# Brazil: Dry May affects part of the regional crop and compromises a greater volume of exports of corn

> An extremely dry May left second-crop regions from northern Paraguay to interior Sao Paulo with almost no rain, adding losses especially in Mato Grosso do Sul. Mato Grosso harvest is starting with excellent productivity, and export movement remains too small to change domestic prices.

## Why it matters

Losses in some second-crop areas are offset by strong Mato Grosso yields, so the net effect on export supply and prices is limited for now.
