Drought in RS threatens grain production and worries Brazilian agribusiness

Mondo

The prolonged drought in Rio Grande do Sul has raised an alert for soybean and corn producers. The lack of rain for more than 30 days in some regions, mainly in the west of the state, has already compromised more than 50% of local production.

The situation is related to the La Niña phenomenon, which reduces rainfall and raises temperatures in southern Brazil. The impact of the drought goes beyond crops: Rio Grande do Sul is the third largest grain producer in the country, and the losses could affect both exports and the prices of grain-based foods, contributing to inflationary pressures.

To discuss the impacts of drought on the agricultural sector and the strategies that can be adopted in this scenario, I suggest  Felipe Jordy ,  intelligence and strategy coordinator at Biond Agro . The company is a reference in strategic intelligence and grain marketing management, with over 25 years in the market.
