Strong crop, precision market: Why soybeans and corn in South America remain volatile even with ample supply
By Raphael Galo For those following soybeans and corn in South America, the most important read right now is not just the size of the crop, but the speed at which that crop turns into available supply, shipments, and cash flow. Aggregate volume remains large, but the market has entered a phase in which weather, agronomic planting windows, quality, logistics, and geopolitics are driving price and margins much more forcefully in the short term.
Big harvests, narrow margins: How “comfortable” are South American soybeans and corn, really?
By Raphael Galo, Head of Agribusiness and Structured Operations at A7 Capital For anyone in Ohio watching South America at the end of January, the spreadsheets still look reassuring.

USDA says comfortable — but is South American grain supply really that secure? - Ohio Ag Net | Ohio's Country Journal
By Raphael Galo, Head of Agribusiness and Structured Operations at A7 Capital For the U.S. producer looking at the 2025-26 crop after USDA’s WASDE reports resumed, the outlook for soybeans and corn in South America still appears “comfortable” in the official numbers, but once you dig into weather, costs and domestic demand, the safety margin looks much thinner than the headlines suggest.
