Brazil’s corn, and soybean estimates were revised higher
Brazil’s crop estimating agency, Conab, on Aug. 10 raised its official corn crop estimate for the current marketing year to a record 129.9 million tonnes, up 2.2 million from its previous estimate. The upward revision is due to safrinha corn production being higher than previously forecast. Conab also raised its 2022-23 corn exports forecast to 50 million tonnes, an increase of 2 million from its prior outlook.
