The planting of the 2023/24 safrinha corn in Brazil is almost complete, with 93% coverage as of last week. However, concerns are rising due to dry conditions in south-central Brazil, with rainfall significantly below average in recent weeks. A forecasted heat dome in northern Argentina, Paraguay, and parts of south-central Brazil could further deplete soil moisture, potentially impacting the safrinha corn. Despite these concerns, the corn estimate for 2023/24 remains at 112.0 million tons. In Mato Grosso, where 97.8% of the safrinha corn was planted as of last week, the state's corn production estimate remains unchanged at 43.28 million tons.
