RECORD HARVEST ANTECIPATED AS SOYBEAN PLANTING FOR 2025-26 KICKS-OFF IN MATO GROSSO DO SUL AND RIO GRANDE DO SUL

The 2025-2026 soybean season has begun in Mato Grosso do Sul and Rio Grande do Sul, with promising yield forecasts. Mato Grosso do Sul’s planted area is forecast to increase by 5.9% to 4.79 million hectares, with production expected to reach 15.2 million tons, thanks to investments in biofuels and a focus on sustainability. Rio Grande do Sul expects a 57.1% increase in production, reaching 21.4 million tons. This increase is due to improved weather conditions following previous droughts, which will boost yields despite a somewhat reduced cultivated area of 6.74 million hectares. Official launch celebrations, attended by producers and officials, highlighted Brazil’s strategic position in the global soybean market.
