Tridge summary

Paraná's 2022/23 soybean harvest is projected to hit a record 22.17 million tons, an increase of 1.3 million tons from the previous forecast, due to better yields from heavy rains. This represents an 82% increase compared to the previous harvest, which was affected by drought. However, heavy rains have delayed corn planting, leading some producers to switch to wheat. As a result, the forecast for the second corn crop has been reduced to 14.7 million tons. Wheat planting is expected to reach a record 4.5 million tons, up 32% from the previous season, due to a 13% increase in planted area.
