Conab projected total production to reach 332.9 million tons in its May survey.
For soybean, Conab has estimated production at a record 169.6 million tons, 21.9 million tons higher than 2023-24.
“The good result is justified by the increasing use of technology by producers, combined with good weather conditions in most producing regions,” Conab said.
