The most recent survey by DATAGRO shows that the planting of the 2020/21 soybean harvest reached 96.5% of the estimated area in December 11, with a weekly advance of 3.5%. In the same period last year, the total harvest area reached 95.6%, and the average for the last five years is around 95.1%. “The pace of work has achieved progress during last week, but it is still limited and heading towards closure, as most states have already closed the process”, said França Júnior, chief analytic officer at DATAGRO. He also said that there may be just a little progress this week, “as the North and Northeast region have not yet finished sowing because of the irregular rains.”
