The Department of Rural Economy (Deral), linked to the government of Paraná, published in its weekly bulletin the situation of crops in the state. Both soybeans and corn 1st harvest have 100% of the implemented areas but some regions suffer from the climate. This situation led to a worsening of the crop situation during the week, with a higher percentage going from good to regular.

With the rain and high temperatures, soybean areas classified as good went from 83% to 71%, while crops in average conditions went from 15% to 23% and other 6% are in poor condition, the data showed. In relation to the phenological stages, 38% are in vegetative development, 46% in flowering and 16% in fruiting.

In corn, 90% were evaluated as good until last week. Now, this number has dropped to 77%. The areas considered average were from 9% to 20% and 3% are seen as poor. In relation to the phenological stages, 26% of the crops are in vegetative development, 43% in flowering, 30% in fruiting and 1% is already maturing.

The west, north and northwest regions are suffering most from drought, which impacts corn. In the south, where the grain is planted earlier, the situation is better. For soybeans, the biggest impact is on crops located in the west and southwest of the State.

A Deral survey released at the end of November indicated that the State should produce 20.985 million tons of soybeans and 4.19 million tons of summer corn in the 2021/22 harvest. The next update to the projections will be released next week.
