AgRural estimates Brazil's 2017-18 total corn production at 87.1 million tonnes, down 10.2 million from last year, while Safras & Mercado projects 79.02 million tonnes. Mato Grosso farmers are starting to harvest early-planted safrinha corn, while others wait for rain.
Lower Brazilian corn output reduces export competition and supports global corn prices, favoring higher feed corn costs for buyers.
