# Shorter rainy season and high temperatures threaten Brazil's soybeans and meats, says WRI

> WRI Brasil published a study finding the rainy season in parts of the Amazon shortened by up to 75 days and in parts of the Cerrado by up to 45 days over 1993-2023. It estimates each 1°C rise above 35°C could cut soybean yields by about 6%, with China as the main customer.

## Why it matters

A structural climate risk to Brazilian soybean yields and beef output could support longer-term soymeal and feed prices, though the study is a long-run analysis rather than a near-term crop event.
