Recent heavy rainfall in Mato Grosso has significantly impacted the harvesting process of soybeans for the 2025/2026 season, resulting in delays and financial concerns among producers. According to a statement released by the Association of Soybean and Corn Producers of Mato Grosso (Aprosoja MT), adverse weather conditions have compounded earlier challenges faced during planting, leading to operational and phytosanitary issues as farmers approach the end of the growing season.

As of now, approximately 39.61% of the expected harvesting area has been completed, with rainfall accumulation in various producing regions ranging from 90 to 150 millimeters over the last two weeks. The Aprosoja MT emphasized that the increased moisture poses difficulties for machinery access to the fields, potentially leading to further crop losses. Producers are being advised to exercise caution and engage in meticulous planning as they navigate the challenges presented by the weather.

The situation highlights the vulnerability of agricultural production to climate variability, underscoring the need for effective risk management strategies. Farmers are urged to remain vigilant as they wait for climatic conditions to improve in order to continue their harvest efforts efficiently. Consequently, this weather situation may not only affect current producers' economies but also potentially impact the broader agricultural supply chain in Brazil.
