The National Supply Company (Conab) predicts a new record grain harvest. The expected increase should total 289.6 million tons in 2021/22, 14% more than in the previous season. According to Conab, Brazilian grain production was boosted thanks to favorable climate changes, due to increased investments by farmers in their crops in the face of high prices. Soy, corn, rice, beans and cotton represent almost 95% of Brazil’s total grain production.

The Brazilian Association of Cotton Producers (Abrapa) renewed its partnership with the Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex), to increase the participation of cotton in world trade, through the “Cotton Brazil” project. The entity plans to make Brazil the world’s largest cotton exporter by 2030.

SLC Agrícola, through the SLC Institute, is engaged in the fight against hunger. After donating 180 tons of food in the eight states in which it operates, it now wants to join forces with the Rio Grande do Sul community to together help the Rio Grande do Sul Food Bank bring food to families in situations of social vulnerability.

The Brazilian Association of Cotton Producers (Abrapa) estimated that the processing of the 2020/21 cotton harvest in Brazil reached 30% on September 2, compared to 26% in the previous week.

The Brazilian soybean harvest reached 133.8 million tons in August, breaking a new record, with an increase of 0.3% compared to the previous month’s estimate and 10.1% compared to the 2020 harvest with its harvest already completed, according to data from the Systematic Survey of Agricultural Production (LSPA), released on September 9th by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE).
