Rural producers in the southeastern region of Mato Grosso estimate losses of soy between three and ten bags per hectare. The estimate of production was revised after a drought called summer in December.
In the Eastern Spring region, 239 km from Cuiabá, where the harvest has already started, 20 days without rain. According to Volnei Leite, property manager, the lack of rain occurred just when the plant needed water for grain development.
"In areas where we have already harvested, we have not reached the expected average of 65 bags per hectare.We harvest about 55 to 60 bags," he said.
He explains that the account should not be closed as planned because, in addition to productivity losses, the amount to be collected does not cover investments in chemicals.
"We have invested in fertilizers, fertilizers, fungicides, insecticides, and this account will have to be paid at the end of this harvest, this time we will have losses," he lamented.

"This year has been very favorable for drought, but we plan to maintain productivity forecasts, harvesting about 60 bags per hectare.Last year, we We have collected 63 bags, "said Rodrigo Rigon, director of the agricultural business. .
Faced with declining productivity, we expect prices to make up for losses.
"We are expecting a very good price for this crop, we are watching the market and we are seeing a good increase in the price of soybeans," he said.
