BrasilAgro - Brazilian Agricultural Real Estate Co has announced its initial estimates for the 2026/2027 harvest year, revealing a projected total area of 164,664 hectares. This figure is 1% smaller than the previous year's area and reflects significant changes in crop allocations.

The company noted a 15% decrease in first-crop corn area, primarily concentrated in Mato Grosso, along with a 5% decrease in second-crop corn area. In contrast, the area allocated for soybeans has expanded by 1%, while other crops, including cover crops, have increased by 8%. This strategic shift indicates a prioritization of crops and regions with a more favorable risk-return profile.
