Brazilian Commodity Prices Hit Record Levels
Brazilian Commodity Prices Hit Record Levels

Prices for major Brazilian row crops, including soybeans, corn, rice, and wheat, all hit record highs in nominal value in recent weeks. The main reason for the domestic price increase is a steep devaluation of the Brazilian real (BRL). While the BRL has been steadily weakening over the past few years, economic turmoil driven by the coronavirus pandemic has worsened the trend in 2020. As a result, despite the deteriorating economic outlook on the whole, Brazilian grain and oilseed producers are having arguably their most profitable season to date.

USDA - Brazilian Soybean Transportation
Overview of Brazilian Soybean Transportation in 2019

​During 2019, Brazil exported 74.1 million metric tons (mmt) of soybeans, 11 percent less than 2018’s total of 83.3 mmt (figure 1)—a decline that also reduced transportation demand.

​
​​In 2019/20, Brazil is forecast to reap a record soybean cop of 124.5 million metric tons (mmt). Post
raised slightly the forecast for planted area by 100 thousand hectares to 36.9 million ha. The increase
is based on marginal gains across several states. Post raised the production forecast by one mmt
based on better than initially expected yields in Mato Grosso, and improved productivity expectations
in Rio Grande do Sul and the Northeast. Soybean exports are forecast at 75 mmt for 2019/20, up from
2018/19 estimate of 74 mmt. Post maintains the crush forecast of 44 mmt for 2019/20, driven by the
domestic demand for soy oil. Soy oil exports are forecast to level off dramatically as industry ramps up
biodiesel blending rates to meet the government mandate.

Report Highlights: Post forecasts beef production in 2019 at 10.2 million metric tons, which is an increase of 3 percent. The increase is driven by solid exports, mostly to China and Hong Kong and moderate domestic demand. Posts also forecasts pork production to increase by over 3 percent and reach nearly 3.8 million metric tons, reflecting a rebound in exports, moderate domestic demand and favorable feed costs in 2019. The expected growth of the Brazilian economy in 2019, with declining inflation and unemployment rates support optimism in the animal protein sector in Brazil. Major uncertainties in the near future include the volatility of the exchange rate, end of the year elections and a new federal administration in 2019.
