As China’s demands for corn may possibly grow, an important window of opportunity is beginning to open for Brazilian exporters. This was the main conclusion of a video conferencing with the Brazilian Association of Corn Producers (Abramilho), the National Association of Cereal Exporters (Anec) and Brazilian agricultural representatives in Beijing. According to Abramilho’s president, Cesario Ramalho da Silva, China’s pork production is being restructured, for it has been heavily affected by African swine fever, demanding high volumes of corn to feed the drove. The scenario looks promising for corn shipments from Brazil to China, since weather conditions have hindered Chinese production, and since the US exports will be insufficient to meet all demand.
