The 2025/26 soybean harvest in Rio Grande do Sul It reached 23% of the total area estimated for the cycle, after advancing 13 percentage points in one week, according to data from Emater/RS-Ascar Economic Report, collected up to this Thursday (2). At the same time last year, the work was at 39%; on average over the last five seasons, at 32%. In the remainder, 1% of the crops are in vegetative development, 3% in flowering, 31% in the grain filling phase and 42% in maturation. According to the document, despite the accelerated progress of the harvest, the work continues to be conditioned by the occurrence of irregular rainfall, which delays operations. However, the rainfall helped maintain the productive potential of crops in late reproductive phases. “To advance the operation, shifts were extended into the night in response to the high concentration of crops simultaneously at the maturation point,” says Emater/RS-Ascar. Production was estimated at 19.017 million tons, an increase of 39.0% compared to that recorded last year. Productivity is estimated at 2,871 kg/ha.
