Tridge summary

Brazil has set a new record in wheat production for the second year in a row, with the 2022/23 season yielding a remarkable 10.4 million tonnes, a 5% increase from the initial estimate and a 35% rise from the previous season's record. This achievement is largely due to an expansion in harvested area by 13%, covering 3.1 million hectares, and favorable weather conditions in key producing states, especially Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo. The positive economic implications of this record harvest, coupled with the favorable ENOS Neutrality condition for crop development and promising weather forecasts for planting, sowing, and growing periods, position Brazil for a significant boost in wheat production, expected to surpass 10 million tons for the first time in 2023.
