A survey of farmers in southeastern Pará and north-central Tocantins shows planting intentions for sorghum rising from 11.11% to 23.19% for the 2027 safrinha (second-crop) season. Sesame (24.64%) and mung bean/cowpea (26.09%) intentions also expanded, as farmers respond to higher fertilizer costs for corn.
Separately, a pecan harvest demonstration was held in Bento Gonçalves, and a Garibaldi cooperative expects a favorable grape harvest after collecting over 30 million kg in 2026.
A shift from corn toward sorghum in Brazil's second crop would modestly reduce corn supply in the coming season and add feed-grain sorghum volume. The effect on prices is limited for now, as the survey covers a small planting area.
Not enough comparable past events yet for a historical read.
After 770 past neutral report events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
