# Soybean planting in Brazil advances to 53% of expected area

> Brazil's 2026/27 soybean planting reached 53% of the forecast area through Thursday October 29, according to consultancy AgRural, up 13 percentage points from the prior week and ahead of 47% a year earlier. Rains in Mato Grosso eased replanting worries, while dryness in Matopiba slowed sowing and wet, cloudy weather limited progress in the South. Corn planting in the Center-South reached 63% of estimated area.

## Why it matters

Faster planting and rains that reduce replanting risk point to a timely Brazilian soybean crop, which tends to weigh on soybean meal and corn prices if it holds. Delays in Matopiba and the South are a localized risk to watch.
