October to early November, a crucial window during which 81% of the planting was completed. This progress was aided by abundant rainfall in the state’s central and southern regions, which account for 85% of the total projected area. As of November 14, sowing reached 92.1% of the land, or 4.4 million hectares, and is expected to be completed in the first half of December, as is customary. Crops are currently in developmental phases ranging from V6 to R3, with more than 90% of fields reported in good condition, with the exception of the Southern area. The harvest projection is still optimistic, with an expected 4.7 million hectares to be harvested, an average yield of 52.8 bags per hectare, and total production of 15.1 million tons, reaffirming the season’s rapid pace and favorable prognosis.
