| "SAO PAULO, Aug 26 (Reuters) - July frosts that hit Brazil's top wheat producing state of Parana reduced its expected output this season to 1.98 million tonnes from 2.7 million forecast previously, the Agriculture Ministry's crop supply agency Conab said on Monday.
Brazil is one of the world's leading wheat importers and has already closed deals to import 2 million tonnes of wheat from the United States and Canada. Most of Brazil's wheat imports come from Argentina, but record high prices and tight supplies have prompted the government there to halt exports.
