# Delay in the pace of soybean planting could compromise production potential - Revista Cultivar

> CESB experts warn that Brazil's 2019/20 soybean planting is lagging last season, with AgRural reporting 93% of the estimated area planted versus 96% in 2018. Delays could hurt varietal adaptation and raise pest and rust pressure, potentially requiring more unplanned sprays.

## Why it matters

A slower planting pace raises the risk of lower yields in Brazil, the world's largest soybean exporter, which can support soybean complex prices and meal demand if the rains fail to return in time.
