The\nclimate scenario for this South America\u2019s summer crop brought variables that\nworried at the beginning of planting in some regions and now brings effective\nlosses in others, particularly in Rio Grande do Sul. Although the rainfall\nprofile was regular until late November, December brought high temperatures and\nbelow-normal rainfall in much of Rio Grande do Sul, which continues in January.\nIn other parts of the country, however, the weather was very favorable in\nDecember and early January, which will ensure a good condition for crops, but\nwith modest areas planted this summer. The cut in the summer crop production reflects\nthis picture and involves nearly two million tons. With losses of around 600,000\ntons, the 19\/20 national crop is now estimated at 103.2 million tons. This framework\nputs additional pressure on the second season of 2020, which will depend on the\nschedule of the soybean harvest, prices and weather conditions in this first\nhalf of the year. One situation is very clear: producers are willing to take\nsome climate risk for the second season in the face of this new price and\nproduction framework. The situation helps strengthen domestic prices in the\nfirst half until Brazil\u2019s second corn crop is confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\ncondition of climate neutrality in the second half of 2019, which will remain\nfor this first quarter of 2020, undoubtedly aggravated uncertainties regarding\nthe size of the Brazilian crop. The irregularity of the weather had not been anticipated\nby models in meteorological services, and producers risked a planting similar to\nthat of 2019. Too premature soybeans in Paran\u00e1 and Mato Grosso planted amid\ndelayed spring rains were the initial signs. Then rains remained delayed in a\nrange that went from western Paran\u00e1 and Mato Grosso do Sul to Minas Gerais.\nOnly in December, the central axis of the country managed to register a climate\nrebalance. Mato Grosso continued with normal rainfall, and soybean crops\ndeveloped ensuring the harvest start this January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
