‘Brazil farmers harvest 0.53pc of 2025/26 soybean area’

SAO PAULO: Brazilian farmers have harvested 0.53percent of the country’s expected 2025/2026 soybean area, compared to 0.05 percent at this time last year, consultancy firm Patria AgroNegocios said on Friday.

The five-year average for the period is estimated at 0.39 percent, according to Patria. Mato Grosso state, Brazil’s largest soy producer, kicked off harvesting in the country with a higher pace than recent years’ average, but below 2024, Patria said.

“In other Brazilian regions, harvesting is still in its early stages and concentrated in irrigated areas,” it added.
