Yesterday, the FX rate dropped in Brazil, reducing soybean farmer selling. However, corn origination remains robust with a farmer selling of 400-450k tons. The reason for this is a bumper crop in Mato Grosso and Goias. I spoke with a farmer in Goias who told me his yield could reach 180 sacks per hectare (172 bu/acre), which is 50 sacks more than the initial estimates. The weather for the safrinha improved in the central-south part of Brazil, reducing the stress in MS, PR and SP – 1/3 of safrinha production. Many farmers in Goias and MT are inquiring about shipments for June and July, window for which logistics are becoming scarce. As a result, flat price and basis for JJA are dropping - cheaper replacements. In China, trades were reported for May, June, July, and February – Brz soybeans. The basis decreased by 10 cents compared to yesterday. However, soybean premiums in Paranaguá remain firm, with bids for July at +20sn and +30sq for August. In China, soybean meal sales were strong again, totaling 481,500 tons, with most for spot delivery. April sales are running at a good pace, as is March.
