According to Conab's monitoring data, as of August 19, second-crop corn (safrina) in Brazil was threshed at 79% of the planned area (+7% per week), which is lower than the previous year's figure (90%).
It is noted that field work has accelerated in Mato Grosso do Sul and is fully completed in Mato Grosso, where a record grain yield is recorded. At the same time, in the state of Parana, grain harvesting was suspended due to strong winds.
It is also reported that thanks to higher temperatures and sufficient rainfall in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, the sowing of corn of the first crop of 2023/24 MY has begun - a total of 5% of the planned areas have been sown.
Wheat harvesting in the country was carried out on 5% of the area from the plan (+1% per week, 4% - a year earlier).
