    Foreign media March 8 news: Brazil accelerates the pace of exports as corn and wheat prices rise .
    In the first few days of March, Brazil has finalized an export order of at least 500,000 tons of corn, equivalent to the entire export volume in February .
     
    Wheat futures on the Chicago Board of Trade rose 40% last week, while corn futures rose 15%
    .
     
    According to Luis Pacho, an analyst at consulting firm T&F, the state of Parana has contracted to export about 500,000 tons of corn because export prices are higher than domestic prices
    .
    The corn will be shipped in March and April
    .

     
    Consulting firm StoneX forecasts Brazil will export 40 million tonnes of corn in 2021/22, almost double last year's level
    .
    Brazil was hit by drought and frost last year, which severely reduced the second-crop corn crop
    .
    Brazil is currently planting the second crop of corn.
    Due to the rapid harvest of soybeans, the sowing of the second crop of corn is progressing smoothly
    .
    Brazil's total corn production this year is expected to be between 111 million and 112 million tons
    .
    For comparison, Brazil's corn production was 87 million tons last year
    .
     
    Soaring international wheat prices also boosted Brazil's wheat exports
    .
     
      Last week the state of Rio Grande do Sul finalized a deal to export 100,000 tonnes of wheat, T&F's Pacho said
    .
    The company has raised its 2021/2022 wheat export forecast to 2.
    7 million tonnes from 2.
    5 million, citing strong sales in the December-February period
    .
    Brazil was a net importer of wheat in previous years
    .
     
      StoneX said that with the surge in international wheat prices, Brazil's wheat prices are very competitive, coupled with a strong dollar exchange rate, while Brazil's domestic demand is weak, boosting export demand growth
