According to the Sectorial Chamber of Wheat, São Paulo foresees an increase in planted area of 15% and is about to break a new record this year. “If we have good weather and if expectations are confirmed, production can reach about 340 thousand tons in São Paulo”, said the president of the Wheat Sectorial Chamber, Victor Oliveira. The meet gathered different links in the chain, and the discussion touched on issues related to the estimates for this harvest year. The figures in 2020 and the current market scenario in the first two months of 2021 were also discussed in the meeting. “According to the figures estimated at the end of 2020, together with the cooperatives and the movements of wheat registered in these last months, we can assure that São Paulo reached 300 thousand tons. Part of the wheat that has been produced in the state is still in stock and will be sold over the next few days”, Oliveira explained.
