# Brazil's second corn planting at 86pc of estimated area, below historical average - Markets - Business Recorder

> Safras & Mercado estimated Brazil's second corn planting in the Center-South at 86.2% of the area, about 10 points below the historical average. Heavy rains delayed soybean harvesting and disrupted the second corn season in major producing states. The consultancy expects the crop to cover 14.1 million hectares this season.
