Tridge summary
The soybean harvest in Brazil continues at a slow pace due to rains in important producing regions. Collaborators consulted by Cepea indicate that some areas of soybean crops have already been drained for days and still could not be harvested, due to frequent rains.
This scenario is starting to worry national soybean producers due to the possibility of getting deteriorated and/or burnt soybeans, which could have an impact on the production of its derivatives, especially oil. Brazil had harvested only 23% of the 152.88 million tons forecast for the 2022-23 season until the 18th, against 33% harvested in the same period last year, according to Conab (National Supply Company).
