BRAZIL’S SOYBEAN HARVEST REACHES 70% COMPLETION

According to AgRural, the soybean harvest in Brazil 2024-25 achieved 70% of the cultivated area by March 13, surpassing the previous week’s rate of 61% and last year’s rate of 63%. The North and Northeast drove the gain, with the index reaching its greatest level since the consultancy’s start. The planting of the second corn crop in the Center-South region covered 97% of the land. Recent rains have helped states such as Paraná, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Goiás. However, rainfall has been inconsistent, with Mato Grosso standing out for a beneficial mix of weather.
