Planting of the 2024/25 soybean crop reached 80% of the estimated area for Brazil on Thursday (14), compared to 67% a week earlier and 68% in the same period last year, according to a survey by AgRural.

Work continues apace in Rio Grande do Sul and the Matopiba states, which have a later calendar and are now pushing the Brazilian percentage forward. Crops are developing well throughout the country, but the reduction in rainfall in the south and in part of Mato Grosso do Sul has producers on alert, although it's too early to talk about losses.
