# Brazil's second corn harvest 19 million tons smaller

> AgRural cut its estimate of Brazil's second corn harvest to 51.6 million tonnes, almost 19 million below last season's 70.5 million. Drought and frost caused the lowest output in 10 years, and the harvest is running behind last year's pace.

## Why it matters

Brazil supplies a large share of world corn exports, so a roughly 27% drop in its second crop cuts export availability and raises import needs, supporting corn prices.
