the Biggest analytical Agency published a new forecast of yield and production in anticipation of the release of the report USDA with final estimates of production in a calendar year. It is expected to increase yields of soybeans and corn, and growth in gross collection.

 

Informa estimates the corn crop 14.41 billion bushels, or 366 million tons at a yield to 173.4 bushels/acre, or of 10.87 t/ha, and soybeans – at the level of 4,447 billion bushels, or 121 million tons at a yield of 49.7 bushel/acre or of 3.34 t/ha.

October precipitation accelerated the sowing of soybeans in Brazil, which is now planted 43% vs 45% at the same date last year and 44% in average of 5 years.

 

Export of Brazilian soybeans old crop amounted to 114 million tonnes, China in November and December may increase imports of Brazilian soybeans to 5 million tonnes, which is twice the figure for the previous year.

 

Competition in the soybean market between the US and Brazil will increase in March 2018, when it will start active selling of cheaper Brazilian soybeans, the quality of which, in particular protein content, much higher than American beans.
