# Brazil to have record-setting year for corn production thanks to rotational farming and other advances

> Embrapa expects Brazil to produce a record 100 million tonnes of corn this year, up 18% from last year. Exports are projected at 30 million tonnes, a 20% increase, which would make Brazil the third-largest corn exporter. The growth is attributed to the shift to crop rotation and a larger share of safrinha corn.

## Why it matters

Larger Brazilian exports add supply to world corn markets, which is bearish for corn prices and competes with US exports. Buyers should expect more cheap Brazilian corn for feed.
