# Brazilian Chicken Exports Are Quietly Draining Demand for Feed Corn

> Chicago corn futures are trading near a four-month low, and buyers are holding back.

U.S. corn exports are also trailing the pace needed to meet the USDA forecast.

## Why it matters

Lower poultry output in importing regions reduces feed grain consumption, so corn demand weakens even at low prices. This keeps downward pressure on corn prices.
