The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reinforces Brazil’s central role in the 2026 global soybean and corn balance, citing high production and export leadership. Brazil remains the top producer and exporter of soybeans, with China as the primary destination. Corn is gaining relevance, driven by the advance of the second crop and improved international competitiveness. While global inventories remain relatively stable, the market is sensitive to potential crop losses in South America, sustaining price volatility. According to analysts, Brazil’s performance will be decisive for world supply and international grain prices.
