Foreign media news on September 7: Consulting agency AgRural released a report this week, once again lowering the forecast value of Brazil's corn production for 2020/21 , from 82.
2 million tons in early August to 81.
9 million tons
.

The reduced production will be more than 20 million tons lower than the 102.
6 million tons in 2019/20
.

The reason for the further downward adjustment of corn production is that severe weather such as drought and frost in Brazil has led to poor corn production in the second season
.
AgRural expects the second season corn output to be 55.
6 million tons, which is lower than the 75.
1 million tons in 2019/20
.

The harvest of the second season corn is now nearing completion
.
As of September 2, 95% of the second season corn harvest in the central and southern regions was completed, up from 89% a week ago and 94% in the same period last year
.

At present, Brazilian farmers have begun planting the first season of corn in the 2021/22 season.
The planting progress reached 10%, compared with 5% a week ago, but it is lower than the 14% in the same period last year
.
Some areas are still in urgent need of rain to start corn planting
.
Field operations are currently concentrated in the three southern states.
Planting in Rio Grande do Sul is progressing well because of abundant rainfall in the last week of August
.
However, the states of Santa Catarina and Parana have not yet started planting, and farmers are waiting for more rain
.

　　AgRural predicts that the sown area of maize in the first season in Brazil in 2021/22 will be 2.
973 million hectares, a year-on-year increase of 0.
