Imea estimates Mato Grosso’s 2026/27 second-crop corn area at 7.48 million hectares, up 0.59% from the previous season and potentially a record. Faster soybean planting, expected to finish within the planned window, could allow more corn to be planted in the ideal period; the forecast also points to potentially favorable rainfall through February.
A larger corn area could increase future supply and weigh on prices, though the crop’s eventual output will depend on weather and yields.
After 1,102 past bearish report events, Corn moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.3%), and +0.0% over 20.
