Frosts hit agricultural regions of Brazilian states like Paraná and Mato Grosso do Sul on Tuesday, signaling further potential losses for corn crops and stalling the domestic market for the grain, a key ingredient of livestock feed, reports Reuters.
In neighboring Paraguay, which has been exporting corn to Brazil to make up for scarce supplies, frosts were “harsh,” said meterorologist Marco Antonio dos Santos.
However, rain in some areas reduced the damage, especially in northern Paraná.
