Tridge summary

Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil is projected to see a significant increase in wheat production in its 2024 harvest, with an anticipated output of 4.69 million tons, marking a 55.27% rise from the previous year's failed harvest. This improvement is despite a decrease in the total wheat-growing area by 12.84%, as farmers have reduced their cultivation due to low cereal prices, climate risks, and economic challenges. However, the productivity per hectare is expected to surge by 77%, thanks to improved weather conditions. The state is also set to see increased production of white oats and canola, with canola plantings seeing a notable increase of 74.35% from 2023. In contrast, the planting of barley is predicted to decline by 15.40%. The planting of both barley and canola in the Ijuí region has already been completed, while wheat planting still needs to be completed by 30%.
