en.Wedoany.com Reported - The agricultural department of Paraná, Brazil, forecasts that the state's total soybean and corn production will reach 39.1 million tons. According to a report by the Department of Rural Economy (Deral) under the Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply, the soybean harvest is nearing completion, with an estimated yield of 21.7 million tons and a stable planted area of 5.75 million hectares.

Regarding corn, the first crop has been fully harvested, yielding 3.9 million tons; the second corn crop is expected to harvest approximately 17.4 million tons, with a planted area potentially reaching 2.9 million hectares. Deral analyst Edmar Gervasio stated: "The first corn and soybean harvests are confirmed. Due to weather conditions, we may make minor adjustments to area and yield figures, but the published numbers will not undergo significant changes." He added that soybean production saw a slight increase compared to the previous cycle, which can be considered a good harvest.

For other crops, the first potato crop has been fully harvested, and the second potato harvest has reached 33% completion; the first tomato harvest is 85% complete, with good quality. Deral also released a situation report, noting that kiwifruit production is becoming increasingly important in southern Paraná, with the average producer price in 2025 at 11.89 reais per kilogram, a 50.5% increase over the previous season. In terms of animal protein, the state's chicken exports grew by 7.7% in the first quarter of 2026, generating revenue of US$1.088 billion, accounting for 42.3% of Brazil's total exports.

In dairy farming, profit margins continue to decline due to rising nutrition costs and increased imports. In March 2025, the price of milk was 2.81 reais per liter, and a producer needed to sell 27.7 liters of milk to purchase one bag of corn, indicating rising production costs.
