SOYBEAN PLANTING SOARS BY 8 MILLION HA IN JUST ONE WEEK, REACHING 36% IN BRAZIL

Soybean planting for the 2024-25 crop in Brazil reached 36% of the expected area on October 24, boosted by higher humidity, but 4% lower than the same period last year, according to AgRural. Mato Grosso and Paraná lead the way with favorable soil conditions. In the Center-South, planting of 2024-25 summer corn reached 52% of the estimated area, up from 48% the previous week. The South is nearly finished with corn sowing and crops appear to be doing well, but producers are still focused on planting soybeans.
