Rains Forecast For Brazil's Main Soy, Cane Regions In Dec (Source: CME)
Brazil's main soy and sugarcane growing regions are expected to begin receiving summer rains in the first half of December, according to private weather service Somar in a report. Cold fronts should cause rainfall in the producing regions of southeastern and center-west Brazil. The regions also should register isolated rains in the afternoon called summer rains, according to the weather service. The cold fronts should extend to northeastern and northern Brazil in the second half of December, also benefiting growers in the states of Bahia, Maranhao and Piaui, Somar said in its weekly bulletin. Somar, though, forecast little rainfall in southern Brazil for the next two weeks.
Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil's southernmost state and an important producer of soybeans and rice, is forecast to continue with the dry weather observed since October in the southern part of the state, according to Paulo Etchichury, managing director of Somar. The outlook is better for Parana, Brazil's second-largest producer state of soybeans after Mato Grosso, according to Somar. Parana, also in southern Brazil, should have rainfall, especially on the weekend, the service said. The rain in Parana should extend to Santa Catarina state and the north of Rio Grande do Sul state, according to the report.

Weather, economic concerns in focus at Bali palm oil meet
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Traders will assess the  impact of erratic weather on palm oil output at an annual  Indonesian industry meeting this week, debating on whether a  La Nina can touch off a price rally in 2011.
But palm oil's  tumble of more than 8 percent in  the last three weeks, sparked by Irish debt woes and news of  China's plans to rein in food-driven inflation, suggests a  fragile economic recovery may overshadow weather problems.
