Brazil’s 2026 second corn crop planting in the Center-South reached 97% of the estimated area by March 19, up from 91% a week earlier but still below 100% seen last year. Sowing is complete in Mato Grosso and Goiás and nearly finished in Mato Grosso do Sul and Minas Gerais. However, delays persist in São Paulo, while Paraná holds most of the remaining 415,000 hectares, with ongoing concerns over irregular rainfall. The outlook points to the final stretch of planting, though localized weather risks remain.
