MS HARVEST 2024/25: SOYBEAN PRODUCTION REACHES 14 MILLION TONS

The 2024/25 soybean harvest in Mato Grosso do Sul reached 4.524 million hectares, with an average productivity of 51.79 bags per hectare and a total production of 14.06 million tons, according to Aprosoja/MS. Despite climate challenges like droughts, especially in January and February, some municipalities—such as Costa Rica, Chapadão do Sul, and Maracaju—stood out for their high yields. Meanwhile, areas like Dourados and Sidrolândia had below-average productivity. The use of irrigation was a key factor in boosting yields in several regions. The data was gathered over 19 weeks through field visits, interviews, and satellite imaging. This detailed mapping aids in shaping technical actions and public policies to enhance productivity, especially in underperforming regions.
