The start of the coffee harvest in recent days is highlighted in the Subjective Harvest Forecast (PSS) released on Thursday (24) by the Department of Rural Economy (Deral), of the State Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply (Seab). The grain advanced in 3% of the planted area.
The expectation is to harvest 42 thousand tons from the 25.5 thousand hectare coffee area, which is currently in good condition at 93%, but which raises concerns due to the recent heat waves and low rainfall volumes.

Deral agronomist Hugo Godinho highlights the importance of the start of the coffee harvest at this time. “The coffee harvest is eagerly awaited by producers this year, due to the good prices practiced in the market,” he stressed.
According to Hugo, prices have fallen, but remain high compared to last year. “Coffee is at R$2,350 per bag, below the average recorded in recent months, but still above the prices practiced in April last year,” he says.
The document indicates that the first grain harvest in Paraná is practically finished, with soybeans harvested at 100% and corn at 98%, making room for the start of the harvest of the second bean harvest.
Bean
The planted area of the second bean crop decreased by 24% compared to the previous year and is at 332.6 thousand hectares with an estimated production of 570.3 thousand tons.
With 9% of crops harvested, the crop presents problems in its productivity, which is 7% below potential.
Corn
Deral revised the area of the second harvest of the crop. The decrease in the area planted with wheat gave way to an increase in the area of corn, which is already 100% planted and is now estimated at 2.71 million hectares, 6.9% higher than the previous harvest and the second largest in history in relation to the area.
The expected production is 16.2 million tons, a scenario that may change due to climate challenges, especially in the North of the State.
The report indicates that around 40% of crop conditions are not favorable and there is a record of irreversible losses of 1.5%, or 240 thousand tons.
Bulletin
Deral also released on Thursday the Agricultural Situation Bulletin and the Weather and Crop Conditions Report this week.

Milk
In the bulletin, Deral also presents national data on the Quarterly Milk Survey, from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), which indicates that Paraná continues to occupy second place in the national ranking of industrialized milk, with 1.07 billion liters delivered to dairies.

Deral also includes information from the IBGE Quarterly Slaughter Survey in the document, which shows that in 2024, Paraná remained the largest supplier of pork to the domestic market for the seventh consecutive year. 956 thousand tons (or 84%) of the 1.14 million produced in the state were sold in Brazil.
Turkeys
In the first quarter of 2025, data from Agrostat Brasil/Mapa show that Paraná was the third largest exporter and producer in the country, with foreign exchange revenue of US$ 6,163 million and a volume of 2,893 tons exported of the national total of US$ 29,978 million and 13,659 tons.
Eggs
Paraná appears as the fourth largest exporter of eggs in Brazil in the first quarter of the year, according to data from Agrostat Brasil/Mapa. The state exported 1,833 tons and obtained a revenue of US$1.5 billion 8.651 million in the first three months of 2025. Mexico appears as the largest importer of egg products from Brazil.
