CORN: PLANTED AREA IN GOIÁS GROWS 25% IN FIRST SAFRA

The area planted with corn in Goiás grew 25% in the first crop, according to Conab data. The average productivity expectation is 133 sacks per hectare. According to the technical advisor of the Federation of Agriculture of Goiás (Faeg), Pedro Arantes, if there is no problem of summer, the production should reach 2 million tons. In addition to the good weather conditions, the price of the bag also favored the expansion of the corn areas. Producers in the region are also attentive to crops in the south of the country. If soyabean losses due to drought are confirmed, farmers, mainly producers in Rio Grande do Sul, tend to invest in corn. Source: Canal Rural
