Overview

In mid‑July, consultants projected a record Brazilian corn harvest of about 145 million tonnes for the 2026/27 season and a total grain output of 360 million tonnes for 2025/26, with soybean planting area expanding and prices reaching a six‑month high of roughly R$141 per 60‑kg sack. By the weekend of 25‑27 July, soybean prices at the Santos and Paranaguá ports surged past R$148 per sack, a 4.01 % weekly gain and an 11.07 % rise for the month, as strong Chinese demand, a weaker real and limited spot‑market supply lifted the market.

Later in July, SISDAGRO forecasts indicated the 2026 total harvest would total 347.4 million tonnes, a modest 0.4 % increase over the previous year, with soybeans projected at 174.8 million tonnes and corn at 136.5 million tonnes. The government reaffirmed its goal of opening more than 700 international markets, already counting 660 new outlets and expecting further expansion after the Mercosur‑EU agreement. Weather modelling for Mato Grosso suggested a high likelihood of dry conditions and sufficient harvest days, while a possible “super” El Niño prompted risk‑mitigation plans for the 2026/27 season. Agro‑cooperatives reported an 11.2 % rise in revenue to R$487.3 billion and export sales of about US$17 billion, underscoring the sector’s continued export momentum.
