Published 2025년 2월 10일

Tridge summary

Brazil's safrinha corn planting is behind schedule, with only 9% planted compared to 27% at the same time last year. Mato Grosso, the largest producing state, has planted 6.2% of its safrinha corn, a decrease from last year. The potential yield losses and reduced estimate of the 2024/25 Brazil corn production are consequences of the delayed planting. Despite these challenges, the final yield of the late planted safrinha corn remains uncertain. Conab will provide an official production estimate in their February Crop Report.

Brazil’s safrinha corn was 9% planted as of late last week compared to 27% last year according to AgRural. This represents an advance of 6.8% for the week. Mato Grosso is by far the largest safrinha corn producing state in Brazil (see table below) and 6.2% of the safrinha corn was planted in the state compared to 28.6% last year according to the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea). The ideal planting window for safrinha corn in central Brazil closes about February 20th and the latest the corn can be planted is March 10th to the 15th. To avoid potential yield losses. Therefore, the 2024/25 Brazil corn estimate was lowered 2.0 million tons to 123.0 million due to the potential for delayed planting of the safrinha corn. There will probably be 30-40% or more of the safrinha corn planted after the ideal window is closed. The eventual yield of the late planted safrinha corn will depend on when the summer rainy season ends, which at this point, is undetermined. The ...
