Corn faces storms and falling prices.

The market of corn Negotiations remain limited in several states, while excessive rainfall hinders the progress of the summer harvest in the south of the country. According to TF Agroeconômica, buyers are prioritizing restocking, and producers remain selective in their offerings, in a scenario of slower exports.

In Rio Grande do Sul, transactions are occurring between R$ 60 and R$ 70 per sack. The average price calculated by Emater/RS-Ascar fell 0.37%, to R$ 62.44, while the reference price in Cruz Alta is R$ 75. Sowing for the 2026/27 crop has reached 76% of the 896,400 hectares projected. Frequent rains, waterlogged soil, and low sunlight are delaying planting and plant development. Hail and strong winds caused gaps in crops in the Northwest, with the possibility of reseeding in some areas.

In Ijuí, planting reached 92%, with recovery of plants damaged by hail. Santa Rosa registered more significant damage, while Frederico Westphalen reached 90% of the projected area. Corn for silage reached 53% of the projected area, also affected by the wet conditions.

In Santa Catarina, sellers are indicating around R$ 60 per sack, compared to purchase offers close to R$ 55, a difference that prevents greater movement. The state remains dependent on grain from other regions.

In Paraná, planting reached 90% of the 371,000 hectares estimated by Deral, but above-average rainfall in some cities is hindering the work. There are reports of thrips, caterpillars, and damage caused by strong winds and hail. Prices have fallen in several markets, including Cascavel, at R$ 56.03, and the West, at R$ 53.12 per sack.

In Mato Grosso do Sul, prices range between R$ 53 and R$ 56. Even with the price decline, transactions remain sporadic, with the bioenergy industry participating in the purchases.
