São Paulo – Brazil should harvest 55.2 million tonnes of soy in the 2005/06 crop, according to forecasts by the National Supply Company (Conab). The initial forecast, made in April, was of 55.7 million tonnes, but it was reduced due to climate problems.
The volume, however, still represents a record, since in the previous crop the country harvested 51.4 million tonnes of soy. Brazil should have, according to Conab, a harvest of 121.1 million tonnes of grains. In 2004/05, Brazil harvested 113.89 million tonnes of grains.
