SAO PAULO, May 15 (Reuters) - Brazilian second-corn farmers are poised to increase production by 11% this year to an estimated 99.8 million metric tons, national crop agency Conab said on Thursday, citing good weather in key growing regions.
In its May crop report, Conab said farmers have finished sowing their 2024/2025 second-corn, which is planted after soybeans are harvested in the same fields. In most producing regions, rainfall favored crop development and boosted yields, Conab said.
