Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply has forecasted a record harvest of 90 million tons of soybeans,
which could help it overtake the US as the world’s top soybean
producer.
The 193 million tons of projected harvested grain also moves
Brazil closer to the ranks of the world’s top food producers, a circle
dominated by the U.S., China and India, among others.
Brad Wall, Saskatchewan, Canada's premier recently appointed a delegation that includes three
cabinet minister in an effort to ease an on-going railway
grain backlog.
The delegation will meet with representatives from major grain
companies this week to discuss the challenges they are facing in moving
grain and potential solutions.
Extreme weather events like those experienced around the world in recent
months have shown the importance of ensuring everything is done to
protect agricultural land and enable farmers to meet future food
production challenges, Peter Kendall, National Farmers' Union told MPs yesterday.
