“An important reason for this difference is the drop of 34% or 1,428 million tons in the 2021 harvest compared to 2020, 2,745 against 4,173 million tons. Another reason is logistical: with the soybean harvest there was a huge balance of 2020 corn sold that could not be exported between September and October 2020 and that was only possible to export in January 2021, due to the fact that soybeans are practically non-existent in January of 2021 with just 1% until the end of January. While there was no soybeans to move, corn was exported”, adds the consultancy.
