DRIVEN BY PARANA AND MATO GROSSO, BRAZIL’S SOYBEAN PLANTING GAINS MOMENTUM

According to AgRural, planting of 2025-26 soybeans in Brazil reached 14% of the expected area by October 9, representing a 5-point rise in a week and the third quickest pace in the historical record. Parana stands out, achieving the quickest planting rate ever recorded, while Mato Grosso also made significant progress despite sporadic rains. Summer corn 2025-26 covered 45% of the area projected in the Center-South, up from 40% the week before. Excess humidity in the South slows work, as does a lack of rain in the Southeast and Midwest.
