Harvesting corn harvested 4.6% of the area in the Center-South of the country until last week, AgRural. According to a consultancy, lower doses in early March make it difficult to lose crops that are already at the point of harvest. In any case, the percentage already withdrawn from the field is higher than the same period last year, when 1.9% had been harvested. In relation to the average of 5 years, of 2.5%, the works are also advanced, says AgRural. Mato Grosso leads with no ranking, with 7% of the forecast area of corn already harvested. Paraná comes next, with 4.7%, and in Mato Grosso do Sul, in third, with 2.7%. “The expectation is that a harvest will gain power in the coming days, favored by the continuity of dry weather in the Center-South”, informs the consultancy. AgRural also notes that it is not the first to produce a second crop paragraph in 2019, with 73.5 million tons, 20 million tons above the 2018 harvest, when there was a fall due to drought. Also warns that this week has the release of new numbers.
