Brazil’s 2026/27 soybean planting reached 66.8% of the expected area by November 6, above 54.3% the prior week, 59% a year earlier, and the five-year average of 62.7%, according to Conab. Progress is near completion in Mato Grosso, while excess moisture has caused emergence problems in Paraná and wet or dry conditions have disrupted fieldwork in other states.
The rapid national planting pace is supportive of timely crop development and potentially larger supply, weighing modestly on soybean prices. Localized waterlogging, erosion, and dryness pose production risks that could offset some of that pressure.
After 363 past bearish weather events, Soybeans moved a median -0.6% over 5 sessions (42% higher; middle half -2.5% to +1.1%), and -0.2% over 20.
