> Safras & Mercado raised its estimate for Brazil’s 2026/27 summer corn crop to 25.589 million tonnes, citing favorable weather, and forecast total national production at a record 151.67 million tonnes. The summer-crop yield estimate increased despite a slight reduction in planted area, while the second-crop area is projected to expand.

## Why it matters

Higher production expectations point to more corn availability from Brazil, which could weigh on corn prices if the forecast is realized. Favorable weather and expanded second-crop area underpin the larger supply outlook.
