71 views /Pxfuel Climate change has caused global food productivity growth to drop more than 20% since the 1960s, despite the billions of dollars Big Ag has funnelled into production technologies. Meanwhile, some of the world’s biggest meat and dairy producers have been spending further billions to undercut climate action.  A study just published in the journal Nature Climate Change has produced the world’s first calculation of how the climate crisis “has historically affected agricultural production on a global scale,” reports Bloomberg Green.  Your access to Member Features is limited.

Brazilian cotton index drops 4 96% in March

Fibre2Fashion Toggle navigation 07 Pic: Alf Ribeiro / Shutterstock.com The CEPEA/ESALQ Index for cotton in Brazil dropped by 4.96 per cent for the month from February 26 to March 31, closing at 4.8088 BRL/pound on March 31, according to the Center for Advanced Studies on Applied Economics (CEPEA). However, the monthly average for the Index closed at 5.0055 BRL/pound, 4.5 per cent higher than that in February.   During the month, the Brazilian cotton market saw two distinct moments. In the initial days of the month, prices continued to rise a trend that was observed in January and in February. This was because of a boost in demand, firm stance of sellers concerning prices, and low supply in the domestic spot market. Thus, the CEPEA/ESALQ Index for cotton hit 5.2251 BRL/pound on March 4, a record since CEPEA began tracking prices in 1996.

Morning Market Review for April 7, 2021

Tight supplies underpin overnight gains for all three major grain crops Corn up 2-5 cents Wheat up 1-5 cents Corn Yield losses in Brazil are expected to reach 3.6% after delays in the preceding soybean harvest pushed planting paces for Brazil’s second crop of corn outside of its optimal planting window. Since the majority of the crop is exported, the yield losses – which could potentially be offset by an acreage increase – improved corn futures prices this morning. Corn futures prices rose $0.01-$0.05/bushel in overnight trade on the concern of tightening short-term global supplies. Rain delays will also slow planting progress, which diminishes the chances of increasing acreage for the 2021 growing season.
