The area cultivated with soybeans in Brazil was 2% harvested by Thursday (15), compared to 0.6% in the previous week and 1.7% in the same period last year, according to a survey by AgRural. Mato Grosso is driving the pace, favored by sunny spells between the rains, which fall daily. Paraná, on the other hand, is now registering a delay in relation to the historical pace because there was an extension of the cycle of some of the crops due to periods of colder and cloudier weather during the development of the soybeans.
In both states, the yields harvested so far are very good and reinforce expectations of a large crop. Harvesting is also underway in some other states, but only in specific areas. Overall, the harvest is promising throughout the country, although the irregular rainfall in Rio Grande do Sul and Matopiba, which still have a long way to go before the harvest is finalized, needs to be monitored closely.
The 2026 second corn crop is 1.1% planted in the Center-South of Brazil.
