Corn prices fall due to weak demand at the end of the year.

Corn prices continue to fall in some regions monitored by Cepea.

According to researchers at the Research Center, the pressure stems from reduced demand for the grain, as is typical during this end-of-year period, with many consumers indicating they will only return to spot markets in January.

In the countryside, attention turns to activities involving the summer corn crop.

Researchers at Cepea indicate that, after a period of drought, the return of the rains brought some relief to farmers, as it favored the development of summer crops, and in addition to helping the current harvest, the rainfall and improved weather raise expectations for sowing the second crop during the period considered ideal for the crop.
