Mato Grosso, Brazil’s top safrinha corn producer, is facing its driest April in 17 years, according to weather service EarthDaily Agro. Accumulated April rainfall for the state is expected to be 70% below the ten-year average. The weather service noted the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) has deteriorated slightly in recent days and soil moisture levels are low and expected to drop even further, potentially cutting the corn yield. Neighboring Goias is expected to have an 85% reduction in April rainfall.
