The forecast for maize stock variation in Brazil shows an increasing deficit over the years, with stocks projected to decline from 2024 through to 2028. The year-on-year percentage decrease reflects a consistent trend, indicating growing supply challenges. Compared to the 2023 level, when maize stocks were stable, this showcases a significant shift towards a tightening market. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period suggests an average annual decline in stock levels, pointing towards heightened pressure on the availability of maize.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of adverse weather conditions on crop yields.
- Changes in domestic and international demand affecting stocks.
- Infrastructure and logistic enhancements to potentially mitigate stock deficits.
- Government policies and trade agreements influencing maize production and export.
