# Brazil crop estimates hold steady as planting progresses

> Conab left its Brazil soybean estimate unchanged at 181.6 million tonnes and corn at 148 million tonnes. Soybean planting was about 75% complete, with recent rain helping conditions in central-north areas. USDA estimates Brazil soybeans at 186 million tonnes and corn at 141 million after raising corn by 2 million tonnes.

## Why it matters

Conab and USDA differ on Brazil's corn outlook, and analysts see Conab's second-crop corn as possibly optimistic given high fertilizer, fuel and interest costs. Any shortfall would support corn and meal prices against US supply.
