**The Trump administration announced new 25% tariffs on a range of Brazilian imports but excluded several major agricultural products.
The tariffs, that took effect July 22, cover products such as machinery, furniture, sugar and ethanol following a U.S. investigation into Brazilian trade practices.
Key commodities not produced in sufficient quantities domestically, including coffee, beef and some aerospace components, were exempted.
Brazil condemned the action as politically motivated.
**Global grain supplies are expected to tighten in the 2026-27 marketing year despite forecasts for another large worldwide harvest, according the International Grains Council.
The council reduced its global grain production forecast by 4 million metric tons and lowered projected ending stocks to 610 million tons, largely tied to smaller expected inventories of corn and wheat.
Reuters reports while global production remains historically high, shrinking inventories could leave importers more vulnerable to supply disruptions.
