AgRural Slashes Brazilian Soybean Crop Estimate
Brazil-based consultancy AgRural slashed its Brazilian soybean crop estimate by 11.3 MMT to 133.4 MMT due to heat and drought in southern Brazil. It now forecasts Brazil’s soybean yield will be the lowest since 2015-16. AgRural says Paraná has been hit hardest, with drought spreading from western areas of the state in December.
The firm also cut its production forecasts for the Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and to a lesser extent Mato Grosso do Sul. AgRural says “In the rest of the country, the crop is developing well and high yields are expected in Mato Grosso, where the first areas are already being harvested.”
