Kory Melby's Brazilian Ag Consulting Services

UPDATED:9 APR 20

Kory Melby

Welcome to my website; started in January 2001..

Nineteen 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.

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).

Drop me a note if you have any questions.

More on corn than soybeans these days. Soybean crop is fine. Better than two weeks ago. RGDS has received some rains. I have no idea how to quantify losses of 1st crop corn or early soybeans. Nipped yes-disaster? I do not think so.

Also a video about the economic dynamics of sugarcane from Adecoagro. This is a good video.

And for those who want to learn more about Brazil's economic history and what the new administration is trying to do, I've included a good video from this week's WEF Davos meeting.

12th: A few thoughts attached on BR corn market.
It has been on fire lately.

MT and Goias soybeans look fantastic.

Early yields are fantastic.

RGDS still has problems. Lots of talk of 50-70% losses and 900% increase in insurance claims etc etc etc..
Makes good headlines
