Conab raised its Brazilian soybean crop estimate by 177,000 MT from last month to a record 152.9 MMT. The soybean export forecast for 2022-23 remained at 93.9 MMT. The Brazilian government’s crop estimating agency cut its corn production forecast by 1.319 MMT to 123.7 MMT, citing delays to safrinha corn planting.
