Based on the latest figures, the state produced 40.9 million tons of soybeans in 2021/22, according to IMEA, an all-time record and 13.3% more than in 2021/22.
IMEA used satellite imagery to calculate the total soybean planted area for 2021/22 at 11.5M ha, an increase of 5.1% compared to the previous estimate released in early May and a jump of 9.7% compared to the previous campaign.
High prices and robust demand were driving the increase in soybean acreage, IMEA said.
Meanwhile, 2021/22 corn estimates were reduced by 0.5% to 39.2 million tonnes, in line with IMEAs forecasts reported by AgriCensus on June 7.
