# Sorghum More Than Doubles Planting Intentions for 2027 Safrinha Crop as Sesame Advances, While Bento Gonçalves Debates Pecan Mechanization and Garibaldi Projects Grape Harvest

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
