соя сбор урожая

The harvest of the new Brazilian soybean season registered slightly slower progress last week but remains at a ‘normal’ level for this time of year. With the work already well advanced in the Midwest and Southeast, with the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul with the harvest virtually over, the pace is moving a little slower in the last areas to be reaped. Even so, work remains above the five-year average for this period in most states and at national level.

According to a survey carried out by SAFRAS & Mercado, until March 25, 76.4% had been reaped from a total planted area of 40.78 mln hectares, equivalent to nearly 31.150 mln hectares.
