The Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (IMEA) reported that, in terms of regions, those that showed the greatest drop were the west, southeast and northwest with 5.99%, 2.97% and 1.95%, respectively. The reduction was driven by the impacts of the lack of rain that has been occurring since April 22 on the state's crops, mainly in areas that were sown after the ideal planting window. Finally, despite the increase in area, the drop of 1.70 sc/ha in average productivity reflected on the estimated production, which is now 39.31 million tons.
