BAHIA ACHIEVES RECORD SOYBEAN HARVEST IN 2024-25, SETTING STANDARDS FOR SUSTAINABILITY

Bahia set a historic productivity record in the 2024-25 soybean harvest, yielding 8.7 million tons across 2.1 million hectares at an average of 68 bags per hectare, the highest in three decades. This achievement stems from ideal weather, sustainable farming techniques, advanced technology adoption, and the Phytosanitary Program’s impact. Key factors include progress in the No-Tillage System’s straw management and a 40% expansion of irrigated areas over two years. AIBA validated the data through 140 field samples. Meanwhile, corn harvesting is advancing quickly, with 1.17 million tons already collected from 105,000 hectares, averaging 187 bags per hectare.
