According to AgRural, Brazil’s 2024-25 soybean planting achieved 95% of the expected area by Thursday (5), up from 91% a week earlier and during the same period last year. “The highlight of last week was the very welcome rains that fell over drier regions of Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Rio Grande do Sul, with almost finished sowing and hopes of good harvests throughout Brazil”, the consulting firm stated. Rainfall in Rio Grande do Sul restored soil moisture, which enhanced crop conditions and made it possible to resume soybean planting more quickly.
