MATO GROSSO HAS HARVESTED MORE THAN 10% OF THE CORN PLANTED AREA

According to the Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea), the corn harvest in Mato Grosso reached 10.69% of the planted area on Friday, representing a weekly rise of 5.96 percentage points. Harvesting began earlier this year due to early planting in the 2023-24 season, after dry weather that impacted the soybean crop. Harvest progress is above the five-year historical average of 9.16 percent and much better than the 3.65 percent reported during the same period last year. Imea revised its corn crop projection for 2023-24 to 45.8 million tons, up from 45 million in May, citing higher-than-expected yields.
