Brazil farmers harvest 83% of 2023 second corn crop – Reuters
According to Reuters, Brazilian farmers had harvested 83% of the area planted for their second corn crop in the center-south region by 24 Aug, AgRural said on 28 Aug, up 6% from the previous week. Work in the fields still lags behind the previous season, when at the same time 94% of Brazilian corn fields had been reaped. Farmers have been complaining of "complicated logistics" between fields and storehouses as a reason for the delayed harvesting, mentioning a lack of trucks and long queues for delivery. AgRural also said that 7.5% of the areas projected for the center-south's first 2023/24 corn crop had been planted by 24 Aug, up roughly 3% from the previous week and above the 5.1% seen a year earlier. "The pace could have been faster," AgRural noted, but many producers in Brazil's southernmost states decided to wait for rains expected for this week in order to plant with more soil moisture.
