2014/2015 Wheat production is increased to 6.3 million metric tons (mmt) due to increased area in the tropical savannah (“cerrado”) biome. The 2013/2014 corn production is up from the previous estimate to 76 mmt on extended rains and better than expected yields. 2014/2015 rice production is expected to increase to 8.5 mmt from the previous year based on expanded area in the Cetner-West region.
