SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Brazilian corn exports reached 323,600 tonnes a day through the second week of August, up from the daily average of 197,100 tonnes recorded in the same month last year, data from the federal government this Monday.
The advance in the harvest of the second crop of the cereal, with the prospect of voluminous production, increased the pace of shipments in the country. In the previous season, crops were affected by drought and frost, which reduced exports.
According to the Secretariat of Foreign Trade (Secex), the largest global producer and exporter of soybeans shipped 307,080 tonnes a day of the oilseed in the first two weeks of the month, against a daily average of 294,700 in August last year. .
On the other hand, Secex indicated a drop in foreign sales of oil, whose daily average dropped from 308.28 thousand to 251.8 thousand tons in the period.
