Monitoring of grain cultivation encompasses around 60 municipalities, including Alfenas, Boa Esperança, Camanducaia, Campos Gerais, Carmo Rio Claro, Machado, Muzambinho, Paraguaçu, Passos, São Sebastião do Paraíso and Pouso Alegre. The objective is to obtain information on production estimates for the crops cotton, corn 1st harvest, corn 2nd harvest, beans 2nd harvest, beans 3rd harvest, sunflower, sorghum and wheat. The survey continues until the 31st of this month.
