The harvest of the 2018/19 soyabean crop reached 67% of the area under cultivation in Brazil last week, compared to 63% in the previous week, 65% in the same period last year and 63% in the five-year average, said the consultancy AgRural in a weekly report. “The work is progressing at a slower pace a few weeks ago because of the rains that fall in much of the country,” AgRural says. Mato Grosso is the state with the most advanced harvest – with 99% of the area harvested, the works are practically closed. In Mato Grosso do Sul, where the harvest reached 98% of the cultivated area, the situation is similar. Rondônia (95%), São Paulo (94%) and Goiás (92%) are also with the harvest near the end. In contrast, Paraná is behind last year because of the rains – last week, 72% of the area was harvested.
