# Brazilian technology and super corn harvest - Revista Cultivar

> Brazil's corn output has risen to roughly 100 million tonnes, making it the third-largest producer and second-largest exporter globally. Productivity gains, especially insect control technology, drove the increase, and the second-crop (safrinha) system after soybeans now accounts for over 70% of production.

## Why it matters

A structurally larger Brazilian crop that is increasingly planted after soybeans expands export supply competing with US corn, which is mildly bearish for corn prices and reinforces Brazil's export competitiveness.
