BRAZIL ACHIEVES RECORD-SPEED IN SOYBEAN PLANTING, REPORTS AGRURAL

After being postponed due to drought in central Brazil, soybean planting for the 2024-25 crop has advanced with the arrival of rains in some locations. The consultant AgRural announced last Thursday that 54% of the projected area had been planted. After last year’s 51% rate, this is the second-highest rate for the time frame, behind only the 2018–19 harvest at 60%. The rapid planting of approximately 17 million hectares in just two weeks is evidence of the increased efficiency of work in response to favorable weather conditions.
