# Safrinha corn 2026: harvest begins in Goiás with productivity below potential after drought

> The safrinha corn harvest has started in southwestern Goiás, with about 1% of the 1.1 million hectares cooperative area harvested. Early yields in the most favored areas are around 7,200 kg/ha, but the dry spell during crop development is expected to limit the state's potential.
