Rio Grande do Sul’s wheat harvest is expected to be 4.07 million tons in 2024, up 55.27% from the previous cycle, owing to yield rebound following weather frustration, according to Emater. The productivity improvement should compensate for the 12.84% decrease in planted area, which is currently 1.3 million hectares since wheat has lost ground to canola, which has shown strong economic gains. The reduction in acreage is attributed to low wheat prices, weather risks, and economic discontent from the previous harvest.
