In Rio Grande do Sul, 84% of the soybean crop was harvested by April 20, with yields of 45 to 75 sc/ha. Corn harvest reached 87% of planted area, averaging 7.2 to 7.7 thousand kg/ha, above last year's 6.4.
Some late-cycle soybean fields were hit by root rot.
Yields in Rio Grande do Sul are good overall, so the regional supply outlook is steady. Root rot limits gains in late fields but does not change the wider Brazilian supply picture.
