Lack of rain causes 20% drop in soybean production in Goiás, says association | Goiás

Veranico has reached certain areas of the state since the second half of December, during which time soybean cultivation was in full development. The tendency is for rain to remain uneven at the end of the first half of February.

Rural producer José Augusto Guerini felt the impact of the drought, but to a lesser extent. It has 300 hectares planted and each harvest 58 bags on average, seven less than expected.

"It's a sugarcane straw zone with a very high organic matter index, so it was able to mitigate the 23 sunny days," he said.

The impact of poor harvests is expected to affect other productive sectors. "This product, which is no longer harvested, will not be transported, it will not be processed, marketed, exported, thus causing damage to all companies," said José Mário Schreiner, president of the Federation of Farming and Livestock of Goiás (Faeg).
