# 2022/23 Brazil Safrinha Corn in Good Condition, Frost Worries

> Brazil's safrinha corn generally benefited from recent rains, which eased dryness in the south. Conab raised its total 2022/23 Brazil corn estimate by 0.2 million tons to 124.8 million, with first crop up and safrinha down 0.28 million tons to 95.32 million. Frost forecasts for southern Brazil raised concern, and farmers in some areas planted less corn due to the delayed soybean harvest.

## Why it matters

A slightly higher total corn estimate is mildly bearish, but the lower safrinha figure and frost risk offset it. Shifts toward sorghum and other crops reduce the late-season corn supply.
