In Brazil, Noticias Agricolas reported that Brazilian grain production in the 2025/26 crop is estimated at 354.4 million tons, representing a slight increase of 0.6%, or 2.2 million tons more than the volume obtained in the 2024/25 cycle, according to the third grain crop survey released by the National Supply Company (Conab).
The result reflects the combination of a 3% increase in the sown area, going from 81.7 million hectares in the last season to 84.2 million hectares in the current cycle, and a reduction in the national average productivity of the crops, estimated at 4210 kilos per hectare in 2025/26 compared to 4310 in 2024/25.
Soybean, the main crop cultivated in the first harvest, has reached 90.3% of the area destined for the crop. In Mato Grosso, the main producing state of the grain, sowing is complete, according to the crop progress report published by the state-owned company this week. In the first half of November, rainfall in the Southern Region allowed for significant progress in the planted area, while in the Central-West, North and Northeast regions, as well as Minas Gerais, inconsistent rainfall delayed fieldwork, according to the report.
