Kory's Brazil Ag Consulting Service Keeping International Clients informed about Ag in Brazil and Argentina since January 2001

Kory Melby Brazil Ag ConsultantAbout Kory Melby

Twenty years ago, when I first started my Brazil research and adventure, I was looking for someone like myself to help me understand the dynamics of the Brazil market place better. With much assistance from Brazilian and American friends, this site continues to evolve and grow.
​(UPDATE: KORY'S 22 YEARS IN BRAZIL)

My VIP Consulting Services and Ag Investment Tours are for those wanting to understand Brazil's Ag sectors while meeting specific business objectives of international professionals. I have led investment and agricultural groups from the USA, Canada, UK, Africa and China to see first hand Brazilian Agriculture (Argentina as well).

14 MAR 23
​​NEWSLETTER APR 2023 PART I
  • Morning chatter out of Tocantins, where buyers are swamped with soybeans and do not even want to talk about corn market in 2023.
  • There will be "a lot" of corn on the ground later this year. 
  • Internal basis remains weak because of lack of storage and expensive freight at the moment.  Also wet roads making things difficult. But, bottom line, a HUGE northern Brazil bean crop; best ever I think.

  • NEWSLETTER: FEB 2023 PART III​
  • A potpourri of various slides that I found of interest.
    I will be watching the soy market for a possible change of trend late in the week into Feb 13th. (this could last until March 2nd time frame)

    Once a top is put in, I expect 6 weeks or more of weakness.


    If we rally this week, look for a top.

    I will be watching soy meal and March and May beans for clues. 

    Nov beans seem caught in the middle for now. 

    If SX23 can trade 13.80, a check of 13.99 is likely. 

    Not sure the Chinese balloon means much.  If USA has become afraid of balloons, not much to say - the country is more stupid than I can comprehend. 

    With the thousands of satellites that everyone has above us and artificial intelligence being developed, we need not worry
    about balloons. 


    Have a great week​, Kory
