AGROCONSULT RAISES ITS ESTIMATE FOR BRAZILIAN SOYBEAN PRODUCTION TO 183,1 MILLION TONS.

Brazil’s soybean crop for the 2025/26 season is expected to reach 183.1 million tons, according to updated field assessments by Agroconsult, representing a 6.4% increase over the previous harvest. The new estimate adds 850,000 tons compared with the January projection, with average yields forecast at 62.5 sacks per hectare across a planted area of 48.8 million hectares, up 2.1% year-on-year. Productivity expectations improved in most states despite challenging weather conditions. Excess rainfall in Mato Grosso, Goiás, and Minas Gerais and drought in Rio Grande do Sul affected yield potential and grain quality, though production could still rise if conditions stabilize. By February 26, 44% of the national crop had been harvested, behind last year’s 52%. Nine states are projected to exceed 62 sacks per hectare, with strong results in Paraná, Goiás, and Bahia, while Rio Grande do Sul recorded the only consolidated losses, estimated at 2 million tons.
