The start of wheat planting in Rio Grande do Sul is just around the corner, and with another summer harvest likely to be affected by climate issues in the Brazilian state, the crop once more stands out as the best choice for increasing profitability in the winter. And with a prior record harvest, the wheat area in the state and throughout Brazil is expected to rise even further. “Rio Grande do Sul has two very good harvests under its belt, with productivity at the highest levels, in addition to outstanding production levels, and access to the global market. According to Élcio Bento, a market analyst at Safras & Mercado, “these factors encourage the producer to keep growing wheat.”
