Corn yields in Brazil

 By Eduardo Paim:
The harvest of the second crop corn (second season), Mato Grosso, reached 56.6% of the total area of ​​3 million hectares reaching 110 sacks per hectare average. In Paraná harvest reached 29% of the 2.17 million hectares, registering an average de133 bags per acre. In Mato Grosso do Sul yet be harvested 2.4 million tons in the state, with an average yield of 100 sacks per hectare. Goias has been to  pick 50% of the area estimated in the beginning there was harvesting between 140 to 150 bushels of corn per acre, in a few days expect to harvest crops with low productivity around 30-40 bags of maize per hectare.

The price of soybeans in Mato Grosso fell Rondonópolis U $ 26.90 to $ 24.00 in two weeks, good crop development in the U.S. has influenced the prices of soybeans in the Brazilian market, even with the lack of soy internally companies are keeping the price "cold" here. Another reason that I imagine is causing companies do not pay more in soybeans was the injury that had last year with increases in freight over 80% believe they are trying to recover the loss of freight holding soybean prices. Corn is also not at attractive prices, the Brazilian government has subsidized some corn purchases, helped some producers only northern Mato Grosso, but the subsidy is over and there helped many producers. Subsidies for me were how to take water from sinking titanic cup. Maize price today $ 6.55 Rondonópolis U, U ever had to sell $ 10.65 in November 2012 and delivery in July 2013.
