Brazil plays an extensive role in the world commodities market, being currently the largest producer and exporter of soybeans and occupying third place in corn production, second only to the US in corn exports. In addition to the grains and oilseeds markets, the country has great relevance in several other segments, such as meat, coffee, paper and cellulose, cotton, sugar, ethanol, orange juice etc.

Besides rapidly increasing its productivity via the adoption of new technologies, Brazil still has the great advantage of having underused pasture land available to expand its crop area.

Given this scenario and the prospects for population and income growth around the world, Brazil should increasingly consolidate its relevance, furthering the need to follow what happens within the country.

StoneX’s Market Intelligence Brazil closely monitors supply and demand information and other fundamentals of the Brazilian market, enabling a better understanding of what is taking place with the main crops locally and how it may impact markets globally.
