The harvest of the 2018/2019 soyabean crop came on April 18, 92% of the area under cultivation in Brazil, compared to 88% last week, 91% a year ago and also 91% on average for five years. The data are part of the survey conducted by AgRural consulting. The work is concentrated in the later areas of the South and North / Northeast of the country. In Rio Grande do Sul, the rains registered this week left the pace a little slower, but the productivities continue to please. In Matopiba, the firmer weather this week favored the advance of harvesters. According to the consultancy, in this final stretch, the concern of the region’s producers is with areas that received a lot of rain in early April, when they were entering maturation. The fear is that, now, in the harvest of these areas, there will be quality problems caused by those precipitations.
