According to AgRural, 9% of the forecast area for Brazil’s 2025-26 soybean crop had been planted by October 2. This is the second-highest pace since 2008-09. Paraná leads with its fastest planting rate on record, followed by Mato Grosso, which is progressing despite uneven moisture and the threat of losing momentum if rains remain scarce. Meanwhile, summer corn planting in the Center-South has reached 40% of the area, up from 32% last week and 37% last year, marking the best progress for this date since 2012-13.
