Soybean sales from Mato Grosso’s 2025/26 crop reached 49.49% of expected production by January, up 5.34 percentage points from December, driven by harvest progress and producers’ cash needs, according to Imea. However, falling prices — averaging R$104.12 per sack, down 3.96% monthly — limited stronger trading. Early sales for the 2026/27 crop reached 1.46% of projected output, with prices under pressure. Harvesting has reached 39.61% of the planted area, though rains have slowed progress. Meanwhile, Brazil’s soybean exports surged 75.51% year-on-year in January to 1.88 million tons, with Mato Grosso accounting for 25.99%. The state’s 2026 exports are projected at 32.1 million tons, slightly above 2025 levels.
