UPDATE 1-TABLE-Brazil soy exports slow after drought-related rush

* July surge has run down soy stocks
* Corn exports jump, reflecting record crop

(Adds data table, rewrites throughout)
SAO PAULO, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Brazilian exports of soy
tumbled in August after surging the previous month, data from
the trade ministry showed on Monday, as stocks run low after
importers snapped up large quantities in the face of a
devastating drought in the United States.
Conversely, corn shipments surged as Brazil planted a record
crop that escaped the brunt of the drought that brought down soy
output. The 72 million tonne corn crop surpassed the 66 million
tonnes soy crop for the first time in more than a decade.
Corn exports are expected to remain strong in the coming
months as Brazil is forecast to export a record roughly 15
million tonnes by market sources. And exports were meager in the
first half of the year.
Among other important exports, unroasted green coffee
shipments climbed, while shipments of raw sugar and iron ore
were stable.
