Rio de Janeiro – Brazil’s cereal, legume and oilseed output is expected to be 250.5 million tons this year. If the forecast from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) proves true, output will be 9 million tons and 3.8% bigger than in 2019.
The IBGE’s July forecast is up 1.3% from the one from June. The planted area estimate is 64.9 million hectares, up 2.6% year-over-year.
Crop output is expected to increase for soy (5.9%), rice (7.3%), wheat (41%), sorghum (6.4%), sugarcane (2.4%), coffee (18.2%) and oranges (4.1%). Upland cotton output should be on par with 2019 levels. A smaller harvest is expected for maize (-0.8%) and beans (4%).
