“In this new season, we see that an encouraging situation is about to begin, similar to that seen at the same time in 2020, due to the good credit supply, exceptional prices observed in the main crops and market sentiment that is still favorable in 2022”, highlights Flávio Roberto de França Junior, Grains coordinator at DATAGRO.
According to him, “this volume would be in line with the expectation of an increase in the area to be sown and the initial expectation of average productivity within normal limits, counting on regular climate behavior and a positive level of input use”.
According to França Junior, in addition to a larger area, another factor increases initial production expectations: the “technological level to be used in crops, whose trend is once again positive for productivity”.
On the other hand, he points out, the behavior of the climate is still uncertain, which is always the “most delicate and doubtful” factor: “As at the same time last year, the feeling is again uncertain. For now, meteorological data only indicates the earlier arrival of rain in the central region and below-normal precipitation in the South region and part of the Southeast from October onwards”.
