# Municipality of Sorriso in Mato Grosso Declares State of Emergency

> Authorities in Sorriso, Mato Grosso, Brazil's largest soybean and corn producing municipality, declared a state of emergency after more than 800 mm of rain fell over 45 days. Private-sector losses are estimated at R$1.5 billion (about $300 million). Heavy rains have delayed the soybean harvest and reduced yields and seed quality.
