The soybean harvest in Mato Grosso, Brazil’s first state, is likely to increase faster by the second half of January, after planting a little later than in the previous cycle in some regions. Antônio Galvan, president of Aprosoja Brasil, said that the work is still being done in a few isolated areas. The farmers who are already harvesting are from pivot irrigation regions, according to Aprosoja-MT; other harvesting processes were done in December. According to StoneX consultancy, Brazil will harvest a record 153.8 million tons in 2022/23. This number would be higher were it not for the lack of rainfall in the south region.
