The article reports on the progress of the 2022/23 soy harvest in Paraná, Brazil, which has reached 77% of the state's areas, showing a 17 percentage point increase from the previous week. Despite this progress, the harvest is still behind schedule due to climatic factors. The corn planting for the second crop in Paraná has also advanced to 93% of the projected area, but is also delayed.
