Last winter, there was the strongest La Niña phenomenon in a decade, leading to dry weather in Argentina and southern Brazil, slowing down corn planting and declining production
.
Earlier this year, the yield of corn harvested in Argentina was below average, and the second season corn output in Brazil also fell sharply
