💨 Abstract

A drought in Brazil has halted the transport of grains through the Madeira river, an essential northern waterway connecting key croplands with ports. The Madeira river is crucial for shipping soy and corn from Rondonia and Mato Grosso states to northern ports. The shipping halt may not significantly impact Brazilian exports as farmers have already shipped most of the grains expected for 2024.
