The 2022/23 soybean harvest in Brazil has reached 43% of the planted area, a 10 percentage point increase from the previous week, but frequent rains have slowed progress, particularly in Paraná and Mato Grosso do Sul. Despite this, the planting of the second corn crop in Brazil, which makes up about 75% of the country's total cereal production, is on track. As of this week, 70% of the estimated area for the "safrinha" corn has been planted in the central-south region.
