Considering the possibility of an early harvest in January for soybeans, Agriconsult estimates that Brazil will be able to start planting the second corn crop within a more favorable climate window for cereal productivity. The corn harvest is the largest in the country and sowing begins after the harvest and removal of soybeans from the fields.

SLC Sementes, a brand from SLC Agrícola, aimed at providing Brazilian producers with access to seed varieties with productive potential and quality, launches next Wednesday (1st December) the soybean portfolio for the 2022/2023 harvest. During the season, the company offers farmers 23 varieties of seed, an increase of 64% compared to the previous period.

Brazil’s soybean harvest in 2021/2022 could reach 144.3 million tons, according to Agroconsult estimates. The survey shows that favorable general climatic conditions and the growth of planted area amid good prices contribute to production. If the record number is reached, growth of 5.2% would be confirmed compared to the 137.1 million tons of the previous harvest.

Following the advance in soybean sowing in the 2021/22 harvest, the projection for the 2nd harvest cotton cultivation window, considered valid until January 31, shows that an additional 82% of the areas estimated for planting can be used in Mato Grosso. Sowing within the ideal period reduces the threat of productivity loss. Positive examples of this are the 2018/19 and 2019/20 harvests, which showed superior yields. The data are from the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (IMEA).
