EMATER/RS-ASCAR: 2024-25 SOYBEAN HARVEST IN RIO GRANDE DO SUL IS WRAPPED UP

The 2024-25 soybean harvest in Rio Grande do Sul has concluded, with a 1 percentage point increase in progress during the previous week, as reported by Emater/RS-Ascar. The pace was slightly faster than the five-year average (96%), aided by late sowings and second crops that mitigated drought impacts. However, the harvest still suffered heavy losses, driving farmers to pursue debt restructuring measures like securitization. Without renegotiation efforts, the soybean planting area could shrink substantially next season.
