FIRST SOYBEAN PLANTING FIGURES RELEASED BY IMEA IN MATO GROSSO

Soybean planting in Mato Grosso, Brazil’s largest producer, began the 2025-26 harvest at 0.55% of the expected area, above the same period in 2024 (0.27%) and the historical average of 0.48%, according to the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea). The early and above-average start reflects good conditions in some areas, with an expectation of progress in the coming days, aided by heavy rains expected for next week, which should expand the planted area and benefit crop development in its early stages. This situation points to a favorable beginning for the state’s harvest, aligning with good weather patterns and the state’s established legacy as Brazil’s primary soybean producer.
