The Imea (Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics) released a report highlighting updates on the marketing of the state's main crops, such as corn, soybeans, and cotton. Over the past month, there has been significant progress in soybean and corn sales, but the scenario was different for cotton.
Throughout June 2026, the commercialization of the 2025/26 soybean crop advanced 6.64 percentage points, reaching 87.68% of the total harvested in the state, a level 5.75 percentage points higher than that recorded in the same period last year.
"With this performance, Mato Grosso recorded one of the highest percentages of goods sold for June in the entire historical series of the Institute, influenced by the greater need for storage space for another robust corn crop that is being harvested, as well as by the high prices, which exceeded the R$ 120.00/sc margin throughout the last month," explains Imea.
For the 2026/27 crop year, sales are now at 23.33% of the projected production, an increase of 4.84 points in the month and 5.83 points ahead of the same period in 2025.
Corn also saw an increase in sales, with the 2025/26 crop advancing 7.17 percentage points throughout June 2026 and reaching 51.66% of the estimated production, 1.89 pp above the same period in 2025.
"The result was driven by the progress of the harvest, which reached 60.04% of the area by 10/07, and by the expectation of a record harvest, which increased supply and impacted prices for the current season. Thus, the higher volume traded in June 2026 contributed to keeping prices more stable in the market, ending at an average of R$ 43.10/sc, an increase of 0.87% in the month," the Institute's technicians point out.
Already in the 2026/27 harvest, Mato Grosso producers have committed 7.90% of the expected production. This represents an increase of 3.44 points in the month and 1.20 points compared to the same period of the previous harvest. “Despite the progress, business remained cautious due to climatic uncertainties, still high costs, and tensions in the Middle East, which maintained concerns about input prices. Furthermore, the average price of the harvest fell by 1.38% in the month, to R$ 44.76/sc, reducing the attractiveness of new business.”
In the cotton sector, the scenario was different, with sales of the 2025/26 crop rising by only 1.14 percentage points in June, reaching a total of 73.01% of the expected production.
"In June 2026, cotton prices fell in both the domestic and international markets. Given this scenario, and considering that sales of the 2025/26 crop already exceed the average of the last five years, producers have slowed the pace of negotiations, adopting a more cautious approach to sales," the report states.
