According to Imea, the second corn harvest in Mato Grosso covered 26.99% of the farmed area, an increase of 12.91% from the previous week. Despite the progress, the rate is lower than the 62.40% recorded in the same period in 2023, owing to late planting and frequent rains during the 2024-25 harvest. The delay is smaller than the five-year average (43.92%). The state also began harvesting cotton, reaching 0.21% of the area, down from 1.19% last year and 2% of the historical average, mirroring the same scenario of field delays.
