The Brazilian region commonly known as Matopiba registered an impressive boost of soybean productions between the 2012-13 and 2022-23 crops, becoming a new important producing oilseed hub for the country. But the next 2023-24 cycle could be challenging for the region’s soy crop and interrupt the series of successive production records registered over the past few seasons.

Join Camila Dias, Argus Brazil Country Manager, and Nathalia Giannetti, reporter for the Argus Brazil Grains and Fertilizer publication, as they talk about what led to the expansion of Matopiba’s soybean crop and what can be expected for the 2023-24 season. 

The Brazilian region known as Matopiba experienced impressive increases in soybean production between the 2012-13 and 2022-23 harvests, becoming seen as a new important oilseed producing hub in the country. However, the 2023-24 cycle could be challenging for culture in the region and interrupt the series of successive records recorded over recent seasons.

Join Camila Dias, director of Argus in Brazil, and Nathalia Giannetti, reporter for the publication Argus Brasil Grãos e Fertilizandos. They talk about what factors led to the expansion of soybean cultivation in Matopiba and what we can expect for the 2023-24 harvest.

Nitrogen fertilizer market activity is poised to continue reduced in Argentina, where farmers may switch corn acreage to soybeans, as soybeans' cost of production is lower than corn. Ammonium sulphate purchases are expected to intensify in October in Paraguay to supply corn crop fertilizer needs.

A atividade no mercado de nitrogenados deve continuar reduzida na Argentina, onde agricultores poderão substituir a área plantada de milho por soja, já que o custo de produção da oleaginosa é inferior ao do grão. No Paraguai, negócios de sulfato de amônio devem se intensificar em outubro para atender às necessidades para a safra de milho.

Junte-se a Camila Dias, diretora da Argus no Brasil, e Renata Cardarelli, editora adjunta da publicação Argus Brasil Grãos e Fertilizantes. Elas conversam sobre a demanda por nitrogenados nos mercados do Cone Sul.
