For the 2024-25 cropping season, Brazil and Argentina are expected to have contrasting corn production scenarios. Brazil's planted area may remain stable, but a decrease in exports is anticipated due to increased international competition. The country, however, aims to increase its total corn harvest by 3.6% from the previous year, as per its food agency, Conab. In contrast, Argentina faces its largest reduction in corn planted area in 17 years due to a corn disease, yet its exports are projected to reach their highest level since the 2020-21 season. These developments contribute to a mixed outlook for the global corn market, with Brazil's exports seeing a significant decrease and Argentina's experiencing an increase, despite the changes in production patterns.
