# Farmers not selling cereal, numbers not adding up, and more fallow land and sunflower

> Salamanca cereal prices peaked in mid-October and then fell over the following month, with wheat down 4 €/t, corn down 9 €/t and barley down 2 €/t. Farmers are holding back sales because margins are weak, and planted area is shrinking. Trade association ACCOE links the decline to peace-talk signals and a weaker Brazilian real that made Brazilian corn more competitive.

## Why it matters

A weaker real made Brazilian corn cheaper on export markets and pulled down world corn prices, while reluctant farmer selling and lower planted area could tighten Spanish supply later.
