The 2024-25 winter corn planting in Brazil's central-western Mato Grosso state reached 100pc of the expected area as of 28 March, which concludes the planting season, according to the state's institute of agricultural economics Imea.
That is slightly ahead of the five-year average of 99.9pc. At the same time a year earlier, the 2023-24 crop was fully sowed as well.
Soybean
Mato Grosso's 2024-25 soybean harvesting is not yet complete. Harvesting reached 99.9pc as of 28 March, an advance of 0.4 percentage points on the week, according to Imea.
That is ahead of the 99.7pc harvested at this time a year earlier for the 2023-24 crop and above the five-year average of 98.9pc.
Cotton
Mato Grosso completed sowing the 2024-25 cotton crop as of 28 February, but harvesting is yet to begin.
Activities usually start around mid-June, according to Imea.
