Julio Bravo of AgroBravo said Brazil's earliest soybean plantings, made in dry conditions, are producing lower yields. Later-planted fields, about 90% of farms, are expected to return to normal yields as rains became more frequent.
Farmers planted 3.4% more soybean acres, so the net production effect is likely neutral.
Expected offsetting yields and higher acreage suggest little net change to Brazilian soybean supply, limiting price impact on soybeans and meal.
