South American corn exports to grow in leaps and bounds - price factor In the last 5 years the corn production and the exports from South America with the two focus countries have contributed significantly Brazil and Argentina in importance for the world market supply. The Brazilian exports have from 10 million tons to more than 25 m t more than doubled. Argentina has grown over steadily over the decades and through additional development in recent times. In Brazil has been a shift. Corn as main fruit with around 5.5 million hectares is increasingly supplanted by the second fruit with 15.5 million hectares of maize after a previous early soy harvest. Meanwhile, the second fruit cultivation is more than double the main fruit. At the same time, the previous acreage has been expanded considerably by 14 to 17 million ha. Brazilian yields are increased by 35 to 40 dt / ha to rd. 55 dt / ha. The results of the second fruit maize are not worse than at the main fruit crops. However, the risk of second fruit cultivation due to possible seeding delay, delayed harvest and possible dryness is much greater in May/June. Is estimated for the year 2016/17 a total harvest of maize amounting to 86 million tonnes or about 10 million tons more than in the previous year. Experienced in Argentina of maize cultivation 2016 new impetus after abolition of the export control and a floating peso from the start. A growing under sufficient rainfall conditions maize harvest in 2016/17 is estimated at 36 million tonnes or 25 to 30% increase to the previous year. Of around 25 million tonnes in export should go. Both South American countries dispute about 36% of the global trade volume with corn2016/17. 10 years ago it was just half. During this period the United States originally 66% 38% have heaped on back. The lost U.S. exports has been significant quantities in the U.S. Bioethanolschiene. For the coming months of the year 2017 South American exporters will set the tone in the corn market. While the US influence will be rolled back. Anyway, the exports of the United States suffer from the strong dollar exchange rate. The weather risk in South America will have have a decisive influence on the additional harvest and price history; may also have the Exchange rates.
