Tridge summary
The volume of grains harvested in the 2021/22 harvest should be 271.8 million tons. This represents an increase of 6.4% in relation to the previous harvest. The estimate was released this Thursday (12/05) by the Federal Government, through the National Supply Company (Conab), in the 8th Grain Harvest Survey 2021/22. The result also shows an increase of 2.5 million tons in relation to the previous estimate. The improvement in production is a result of the larger area planted with corn in the second harvest, in addition to the positive development at the end of the crop cycle, especially for rice, corn, and soybeans, according to Conab. “More than 70% of corn production comes from the second harvest. It is almost a race because it has soy planting and corn harvesting on the same land, and it is always punctuated by periods of rain, and climatic instability”, explained the executive director of agricultural information and agricultural policies at Conab, Sergio DeZen. The expectation is that corn will reach a production of 116.19 million tons, an increase of 33.4% compared to the 2020/21 crop.
