Brazil: Rio Grande do Sul completes soybean planting; corn harvest reaches 54% of areas
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Soybean producers in Rio Grande do Sul have finished planting, after advancing 1 percentage point in the week, said technical assistance and rural extension company EMATER-RS on Thursday, while the summer corn harvest exceeded 50% of areas.
According to the agency linked to the state government, the Rio Grande do Sul crops had less rain and lower volume in recent days, and the overall scenario for the crop remains with a productive potential affected by drought.
“The harvest of earlier cultivars shows results well below those expected, but still represent very small areas, without statistical relevance,” EMATER said in a report.
In corn first crop, planting is virtually complete, with 99% of areas, advancing 1 point in the week and also late in the annual comparison.
The summer cereal harvest is ahead of schedule and has reached 54% compared to 48% the previous week. A year earlier, the rate stood at 41% and the historical average for the period is 40%.
“The loss of productivity in these first crops is quite high and consolidates the 53% reduction in relation to the initially projected,” EMATER said.
On the other hand, the most recently sown crops showed good initial establishment and more uniform development.
