MS Safra 2025/26: New estimate raises soybean harvest

Aprosoja/MS has revised upwards its productivity estimate for the 2025/2026 soybean crop in Mato Grosso do Sul. According to data from the Siga-MS Project, the state average has increased from 52,8 to 61,7 sacks per hectare.

The new level represents a 19,2% increase compared to the previous harvest. With this, state production could reach 17,7 million tons, a volume 26,3% higher than that recorded in the 2024/2025 cycle. The cultivated area remained at 4,7 million hectares, indicating a 5,9% expansion year-on-year.

According to Flavio Aguena, technical advisor for Aprosoja/MS, the revision is based on productivity sampling carried out in 19,5% of the area. "The numbers may still be adjusted, as they depend on the completion of the Land Use and Occupation study and the progress of the survey on the properties," he states.

Harvest progresses in the state.
