Brazilian grain producers are expected to begin planting in September. If the weather cooperates, the Brazilian harvest could result in its largest grain harvest in history. The first forecast for the 2022/2023 season from the National Supply Company (Conab), the country’s food supply and statistics agency, projects farmers will produce more than 300 million tons of soybeans, corn, cotton, rice, wheat, and beans. That number is 14% higher than last season, when Brazilian farmers harvested an estimated 271.4 million tons of grains, an all-time high.
