\section{South America Rainfall}

    \begin{frame}{South America (Brazil and Argentina) : Rainfall }
    \begin{columns}[onlytextwidth,T]
        \begin{column}{.25\textwidth}
            \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{Monsoon-Brazil}
        \end{column}
        \begin{column}{1\textwidth}
            \begin{itemize}
                \item Brazil : In their June Crop Report, Conab increased the 2016/17 Brazilian corn estimate by 1.0 million tons to 93.83 million and they increased the 2016/17 soybean estimate by 0.9 million tons to 113.91 million.

                \item Wheat production for 2016 - 17 is projected to be 14 million tons, while Barley planted area is expected to drop somewhat with a production of 3.2 million tons.Corn returns are expected to be very good (and significantly better than soybeans), encouraging farmers to plant 1 million hectares more with a projected production of 31.5 million tons. 
                Sorghum and rice production are forecast to remain practically unchanged.

            \end{itemize}
        \end{column}
    \end{columns}
\end{frame}

Output : enter image description here

    You seem to have one column that's one quarter of the \textwidth and another column that's the full \textwidth. I'm not entirely sure how you want to adjust these, but I assume the sum of the column widths should be less than \textwidth.

    Please see tex.stackexchange.com/questions/376170/… The sum of both columns should be smaller 1\textwidth Commented Jun 22, 2017 at 7:53
  • Thank you. Is there any command for line alignment?

  • @SWAT: Which lines would you like to align?

    @SWAT The white space on the left is the margin of your presentation (better not clutter this) and maybe some white space which is part of the image. Commented Jun 22, 2017 at 9:02

To summarize the comments:

  • the main issue with your code is that the sum of both column widths is 1.25\textwidth - this can impossible fit on a page which has 1\textwidth. In fact the sum has to be < 1\textwidth to accommodate the space between the columns.

  • If the columns width are chosen sensible the left hand boarder of the image will be aligned with the left hand margin of the frame. In case there is additional white space, this might be from the figure itself and can be removed using the trim and clip options from \includegraphics

  • Without the onlytextwidth option, the sum of widths of all columns can reach \paperwidth... Commented Jun 26, 2017 at 13:38
  • Extracts from beamer manual: "onlytextwidth is the same as totalwidth=\textwidth" ; "totalwidth=⟨width⟩ will cause the columns to occupy not the whole page width, but only ⟨width⟩, all told. Note that this means that any margins are ignored." Commented Jun 26, 2017 at 14:48
  • @PaulGaborit Now I understood you comment. sorry for misunderstanding it in the first place. yes, of course you are right, without this option the columns can protrude in the margins - which they should not do, so I won't emphasise this in an answer to a question which uses onlytextwidth Commented Jun 26, 2017 at 15:02
