Mato Grosso for SUL should produce 14.6 million tons of soy in this cultivation, which is located in the final section of the collections. This volume is an increase of 11.4% compared to previous crops, in accordance with updated data from the Agribusiness (SIGA-MS) geographical information system.

Mato Grosso to SUL registers the increase in soy production and corn in this cultivation, with 14.6 million tons of soy, by 11.4% in relation to previous crops. The cultivated area increased by 6.8%, reaching 4.5 million hectares, and the efficiency increased to 54.4 bags per hectare. Corn production should also increase by 20.6%, with 10.2 million expected tons. Despite the climate challenges, which influenced 51% of the crop, soybeans have already reached 93% of the planted area. Secretary Jaime Verruck points out that the signs are positive for current cultivation.

Secretary of Semadesc, Jaime Verruck, emphasized that the area grown with soy in this cultivation reached 4.5 million hectares, which is an expansion by 6.8% compared to the previous cycle.

According to Verruck, performance are the most impressive data. Despite climate challenges, the estimated performance increased from 51.7 to 54.4 bags per hectare, which caused the expected production of 14.686 million tons. This is an increase of 5% compared to the initial forecast of 13.9 million tons.

Estimating the second cultivation of the second cultivation of 2024 is equally positive. The area grown from corn should reach 2.1 million hectares, with an average capacity of 80.8 bags per hectare. The total corn production is aimed at reaching 10.2 million tons, which is an increase of 20.6% in the previous cycle.

Climate challenges – The SIGA-MS study reveals that about 2.3 million hectares (51% of the crop area) had an impact on water stress, especially in planted crops between September and October.

The critical period for soy was from December to January, when the rainfall was below the average, affecting the development of crops. By the end of March, soy collections in this state amounted to 2.4 percentage points below the average of the last five years.

Collection – By March 28, 93% of the soy area was collected. The southern region of Mato Grosso to Sul was the one who had the highest progress, with 94.8% of the collected area, and then the central region with 92% and the northern region with 87.5%. About 4.1 million hectares were collected by the date.

As for the future, secretary Jaime Verruck points out that because the sampling is still at the beginning, the final numbers can be adapted. However, he believes that signs are more beneficial for soy in this cultivation compared to initial expectations.
