WHEAT PRODUCTIVITY TO SET RECORD IN BRAZIL’S SOUTHERN REGION

According to EarthDaily Agro, a company that monitors crops through satellite, the southern states of Brazil are on track to produce a record wheat harvest. This is due to good soil moisture levels and a high rate of vegetation, which have benefitted the states that produce over 85% of Brazil’s wheat output. Rio Grande do Sul has an optimistic estimate of 4.82 million tons, thanks to the good level of NDVI and soil moisture. Santa Catarina is expected to produce 0.5 million tons, while Parana is likely to sustain high expectations for wheat production. It is expected that under favorable conditions, there will be a record yield of 3 tons per hectare in Parana.
