Tridge summary

Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil is projected to see a significant increase in wheat production in the 2024 Winter Harvest, with an estimated 4.06 million tons, marking a 55.27% increase from the failed 2023 harvest. This is despite a decrease in the cultivated area due to low cereal prices, climate risks, and economic frustration from the previous harvest. The predicted productivity per hectare also saw a significant increase. The report also covers the production estimates for other winter crops such as white oats, canola, and barley, with canola showing the largest increase in cultivation area. However, there's a decrease in the projected area for barley due to frustration from the previous harvest's results.

Rio Grande do Sul is expected to produce 4,068,852 tons of wheat in the 2024 Winter Harvest, which represents an increase of 55.27% compared to the failed 2023 harvest, which totaled 2,620,493 tons (IBGE). These data make up the estimate in the Conjunctural Information, presented by Emater/RS-Ascar this Friday morning (28/6) in Porto Alegre. During the presentation, the technical director of Emater/RS, Claudinei Baldissera, highlighted that the wheat cultivated area is projected at 1,312,488 hectares, in 407 municipalities, 12.84% lower than the 2023 area, which was 1,505. 807 (IBGE). This reduction in the planting area is justified by low cereal prices, climate risks and the economic frustration of the last harvest, he highlighted. According to data from Emater/RS-Ascar, the predicted productivity for wheat is 3,100 kg/ha, which represents an increase of 77.04%, when compared to the 1,751 kg/ha obtained in the previous harvest (IBGE). Despite the rains and excess moisture in the ...
