SOYBEAN HARVEST IN RIO GRANDE DO SUL REACHES 91% OF THE CULTIVATED AREA

The soybean harvest in Rio Grande do Sul has reached 91% of the cultivated area. This is six percentage points higher than the previous week but still below the historical average of 97% due to flooding. Less frequent rains in the last week have allowed the resumption of the harvest in the state’s southern, central, and western regions, but the northern still faces difficulties due to excess moisture. The previously predicted soybean crop is being revised, considering the effects on harvesting locations and the additional costs caused by wet soil. The corn harvest has reached 92%, while the rice harvest has reached 95%, despite considerable losses in certain areas due to flooding.
