Brazil 2018/19 soy harvest advances to 36 pct of area – AgRural – Reuters News

19 de fevereiro 2019 | Na Mídia, Reuters

Brazil’s 2018/2019 soybean harvest has advanced to 36 percent of the planted area, 19 percentage points above this time last season as some farmers sowed the soy earlier and then speeded up harvesting due to dry and hot weather.

Consultancy AgRural said on Monday that in spite of being ahead of last year and above a 19 percent five-year average, harvesting slowed slightly over the past few days due to the return of the rains. Humidity, however, did not compromise the quality of the soy being harvested, AgRural said.
