The USDA attaché estimated Brazil’s 2012/13 wheat crop at 4.3 million tonnes, a 5-year low, versus the USDA estimate of 4.8million tonnes and 26% down year-on-year. They will need to import more wheat than normal this year, and cast the net somewhat wider than their regular supplier Argentina who have problems in terms of volume and quality.
Brazil will have a "vast supply" of corn for export, says the USDA attaché, upgrading harvest forecasts – even as they cautioned that the South American country will require bumper imports of US wheat. The attaché pegged Brazil's corn crop at 72.5 million tonnes, the second highest on record.
