Brazil’s 2024-25 soybean crop increased to 9% of the cultivated area due to a rapid growth rate in Paraná, which has already harvested a large area, and an improvement in Mato Grosso after a break in the rains that slowed progress in January. Recent rains in Rio Grande do Sul have helped, but the crop still needs more to avoid substantial losses, as dryness can reduce productivity. The Center-South planted 9% of 2025 second-crop corn, down from 27% last year, with Paraná leading the way. The summer corn harvest has reached 14%, mostly in Rio Grande do Sul, but is below the 17% recorded in 2023 due to severe weather conditions and a delayed agricultural cycle.
