Maize

Chapter Chapter 5 in Brazilian Crops in the Global Market, 2023, pp 107-129 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Brazil has emerged as a leading maize producer only in the past two decades. It is associated with the expansion of soybean production and has also had an impact on national meat production. We examine how this transformation of maize production occurred as a rotation crop, and then the rise of the second and third crops “safrinhas” as a result of non-till farming practices. The growth of corn production in the Center-West is the main focus of this chapter.
