The production of corn<\/a> Brazilian production is expected to reach 148 million tons in the 2026\/27 harvest, according to data released by the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea), based on projections from the National Supply Company (Conab). This volume represents an increase of 2.771 TP4T compared to the previous season and should be sustained by the expansion of the cultivated area.\n<\/p>\n

In the 2025\/26 crop year, Conab projected Brazilian production at 144.01 million tons, an increase of 1.271 TP4T compared to the previous cycle. The cultivated area reached 22.60 million hectares, an increase of 3.491 TP4T compared to 2024\/25.<\/p>\n

Despite the expansion of the area, average productivity fell by 1.42%, to 106.20 sacks per hectare. According to data released by Imea, the lower yield recorded in some states limited production growth, but the increase in cultivated area was sufficient to sustain the national supply.<\/p>\n

In terms of demand, domestic corn consumption was projected at 98.20 million tons in 2025\/26, an increase of 7.82%. According to data released by Imea, the increase was mainly driven by greater absorption of the cereal by mills.<\/p>\n

Exports also showed growth. The volume shipped was projected at 43.92 million tons, an increase of 5.49% compared to the previous season. The increase in foreign sales expanded the flow of production and helped maintain ending stocks at 15.65 million tons.\n<\/p>\n

For the 2026\/27 harvest, projections indicate a production of 148 million tons. According to data released by Imea, growth should be sustained mainly by the expansion of the cultivated area, while crop yields will depend on weather conditions and planting windows.<\/p>\n

Domestic consumption is also expected to continue growing. The projection is 104.81 million tons, an increase of 6.73% compared to the previous season.<\/p>\n

According to data released by Imea, the growth in demand should be supported by the increased use of corn in animal feed production, the entry of new mills, and the expansion of corn grinding.<\/p>\n

Brazilian corn exports are also expected to grow in 2026\/27, with a projection of 46.02 million tons, an increase of 4.78%.<\/p>\n

With increased production and growing exports, supply will continue to be directed to both the domestic and international markets. At the same time, greater domestic consumption tends to reduce the availability of the grain at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

According to data released by Imea, ending corn stocks are expected to fall to 14.53 million tons in 2026\/27, down from the 15.65 million tons projected for the previous crop year.<\/p>\n

The scenario shows that expanding the planted area should continue to be important for the growth of Brazilian corn production. However, productivity remains dependent on weather patterns and the planting schedule.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
