5 de junho 2023 | Na Mídia, Reuters

Brazilian farmers have harvested through last Thursday 1,4% of the area planted for their second corn crop in the center-south region, agribusiness consultancy AgRural said on Monday, up 0.2 percentage point from the previous week.

At the same time last year, 3% of the Brazilian corn fields had been reaped, AgRural said in a statement, noting fieldwork remains concentrated in top grain producing state Mato Grosso.

AgRural expects Brazil’s total corn crop to hit 127.4 million tonnes this season. The so-called “safrinha” accounts for most of the country’s output in a given year and is estimated to reach 97.9 million tonnes in 2022/23.
