RISE IN CORN PRODUCTION FUELS PLANNING FOR 2025-26 SOYBEAN HARVEST

According to Conab, the projected 2024-25 corn harvest of 137 million tons, an 18.3% increase, is giving farmers greater financial and operational stability as they plan for the 2025-26 soybean season. The robust off-season crop, estimated at 109.5 million tons (+21.7%), is ensuring strong profits, enabling early input acquisitions, and facilitating logistical planning. This improved cash flow allows producers to stick to the optimal soybean planting window, following the 2024-25 harvest that already reached 169.6 million tons and contributed to the national grain output of 345.2 million tons (+16%). The corn-soybean rotation, integrated with regenerative practices, further enhances soil health and controls pests, securing the long-term sustainability of this agricultural system.
