Analysts at Aimpoint Research say there are several factors at play, including Brazil’s corn and soybean crops. They say another challenge is the Mississippi River, with meteorologists not expecting a drastic rise until next year. If that is the case, Brazil could take over the soybean market.
Researchers also point to a stronger U.S. Dollar, which makes American ag products more expensive in the global market.
