BRAZIL SOYBEAN HARVEST HITS 88.1%, LAGS LAST SEASON PACE

Brazil’s 2025/26 soybean harvest reached 88.1% of planted area as of April 18, up 2.4 percentage points week-on-week, according to Conab. Progress remains behind last season’s 92.7%, a gap of 4.6 p.p., and slightly below the five-year average of 88.7%. The slower pace points to an extended harvest window, with potential implications for logistics flows and the timing of the second crop. While fieldwork has gained traction in recent weeks, the lag versus the previous cycle persists, keeping near-term attention on supply flow and shipment scheduling.
