Safras & Mercado forecasts Brazil's 2023/24 soybean output to rise 4.5% to 163.2 million tons on a 2.5% acreage increase to a record 45.6 million hectares. It expects corn output to fall 2 million tons to 137.4 million tons on lower corn prices.
A larger Brazilian soybean crop adds to supply for the 2024 export season, bearish for soybeans and soymeal. A smaller corn crop from lower acreage is mildly supportive for corn prices.
