The second Goiás Crop Expedition, which finished on January 23, predicted a soybean harvest of over 20 million tons, up 23% from the previous harvest, with an average yield of 66 to 70 bags per hectare. Over 5,000 kilometers, the expedition assessed crops and heard producer demands in 43 towns. The first harvest in Rio Verde yielded 4,200-4,800 kg/ha, which is promising. Even with the good weather, logistics remain worrying. Faeg, Ifag, and Rural Unions will lead the project to provide a technical report and propose government recommendations to promote agriculture.
