# BRAZIL CORN WATCH: Concern over crop yields amid widespread dryness | S&P Global

> Dryness is widespread across Brazil's safrinha corn areas, with Conab reporting yield concerns in Goias and Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso's development slowing as rainfall declines. Maxar expects warm, dry weather to expand over the next week. Brazil's weather service also forecasts below-average rain for April-June in southern Brazil due to La Nina.
