Brazil's animal feed production reached 45.2 million tonnes in the first half of 2026, according to industry data. Broiler feed demand rose 5.3% to 19.9 million tonnes and pig feed rose 5.4% to 11.2 million tonnes.
Cattle feed demand is expected to fall as producers retain breeding females.
Stronger poultry and pork feed demand supports domestic use of corn and soybean meal, which is supportive for those feed ingredients. The expected decline in cattle feed demand limits that support over the coming months.
After 1,040 past bullish report events, Corn moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (62% higher; middle half -0.9% to +2.0%), and +0.8% over 20.
After 414 past bullish report events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -2.1% to +2.3%), and +0.3% over 20.
