The National Supply Company (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conab.gov.br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Conab<\/a>)\u00a0sees output going up 4.2% in 2018\/19. The numbers were made public this Thursday (10) by both organizations. The forecasts differ so much because Conab works with crop-years \u2013 running from October to September \u2013 while the IBGE works with regular years.<\/p>\n<p>Conab\u2019s latest grain crop survey \u2013 its fourth this crop-year \u2013 provides for a 237.3 million-ton harvest. Planted area is expected to be 62.5 million hectares, up 1.2% from 2017\/18.<\/p>\n<p>Items whose harvests are seen increasing include first-crop maize, with a 0.4% increase in planted area and an expected 27.5 million-ton output. Considering the year\u2019s first and second maize crops combined, output is expected to be up 12.9% compared with 2017\/18, to 91.2 million tons.<\/p>\n<p>Conab also sees the planted area for cotton \u2013 the bulk of which gets planted in January \u2013 going up 25.3%, with output expected to increase by 20.3%. First-crop peanut output is expected to be 10% bigger at 551,700 tons.<\/p>\n<p>As for soy, planted area should be up 1.7%, but output is expected to drop by 0.4% to 118.8 million tons. The rice harvest should be down 7.15 to 11.2 million tons. As for first-crop beans, 1.1 million tons should be harvested, with planted area going down 7.7%.<\/p>\n<p>Conab also put out numbers regarding the end of the season last December for winter crops \u2013 including oats, canola, rye, barley, wheat and triticale. Results were better than in the last season, despite the weather issues in major producing areas. Wheat output was up 27.3% to 5.4 million tons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IBGE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) released its third prognosis for the 2019 crop (January to December), including cereals, legumes and oilseeds, whose combined output it estimated at 233.4 million tons. The bigger crop should be driven by maize, up 8.4% year-on-year; cottonseeds, up 6.6% to 5.3 million tons; and soy, up 0.8% to 118.8 million tons. Rice and bean crops are both seen decreasing year-on-year.<\/p>\n<p>Planted area is expected to be up 2.1% to 62.2 million hectares.
