According to Conab, regional weather variations significantly influenced the 2024-25 crop season. Abundant rainfall in the North, South, and eastern Northeast boosted corn and bean production, while disrupting winter crops in Rio Grande do Sul. Conversely, dry conditions in the Midwest and Southeast accelerated the maturation and harvesting of corn and cotton. The second corn harvest is going smoothly, with Mato Grosso reporting higher-than-expected yields. Positive progress may be seen in Paraná, Maranhão, and other states. However, harvesting delays have occurred in Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo, and Minas Gerais due to lower temperatures and excessive moisture.
