DATAGRO Grains raised Brazil’s corn output projection for 2025 from 132.7 to 134 million tons, 10% higher than the previous harvest. Off-season corn production is predicted to exceed 108.5 million tons, which is close to the record set in 2022-23, with a productivity of 5,986 kg/ha. Despite the robust crop, the Brazilian market is expected to have a 1.2-million-ton shortfall. Forecasts indicate soybean output will hit 173.5 million tons, up 12% from 2023-24, thanks to a 4% rise in cultivation area and an 8% boost in yield. This is expected to result in a marginal surplus of 0.1 million tons, the first in five years following persistent deficits.
