Brazil’s soybean harvest in 2025-26 is likely to set a new record, with production forecasts ranging from 177.2 to 182.9 million tons, driven by a 2% increase in planted area despite reduced margins for producers. Leading this growth are key states, including Mato Grosso, Tocantins, Piauí, Bahia, Goiás, and Mato Grosso do Sul. Improved yields, particularly in Rio Grande do Sul – where a recovery is expected – further support the outlook. Exports might hit 112 million tons, boosted by trade tensions between China and the United States. The first corn crop has conflicting prospects: StoneX predicts 2% growth, while Céleres predicts a small decline, with total corn production expected to surpass 148 million tons.
