Emater/RS reports soybean planting in Rio Grande do Sul reached 39% of the 6.64 million hectares projected for 2026/27. Corn planting reached 84% of its projected area, while rice planting neared 80%, with uneven progress due to rain distribution and soil moisture.
Heavy rain, wind and hail caused localized damage in some areas.
Uneven planting pace and weather damage in Rio Grande do Sul, a major Brazilian soybean and corn state, add modest supply uncertainty for the southern crop and can support regional soybean meal and corn prices.
